FASTTIP Offline programming system for point-to-point processes

With FASTTIP, CENIT provides award-winning and established offline programming software for 3D point-to-point processing, which can be implemented in the field of robotics as well as machining. Several technologies from spot welding and clinching in body-in-white processes to (multilayer) drilling and riveting in the aerospace (airframe assembly) and automotive field can be programmed, mapped and supported.

Thanks to offline programming with FASTTIP for 3D point-to-point applications, large volumes of joining elements (fasteners) can be efficiently an easily managed, programmed, simulated and optimized within CATIA V5.

 

 

QUICK DEFINITION OF SPOT WELDING PROCESSES

FASTTIP for point-to-point applications in shell construction and airframe assembly

FASTTIP is seamlessly integrated into the powerful CATIA V5 infrastructure. Several automatic functions, integrated programming, postprocessing, comprehensive CAD/CAM abilities create a working environment fully attuned to the requirements of users and guarantee collision-free tool paths. The various quantitative complex processes of 3D point-to-point processing can be realized with FASTTIP securely, efficiently and in high quality.
