CENIT Launches New Offline Programming for 3D Surface Base in DELMIA V5
The new manufacturing software FASTSURF for coating processes fully integrated with the DELMIA V5 software platform continuously supports the offline programmer and equipment planner from process definition to offline programming, simulation and analysis. Especially in analysis, FASTSURF offers enormous added value through the possibility of simulating spraying processes such as the lacquering job, for example.
"As a long time software development partner of Dassault Systèmes, CENIT closes a significant gap in the virtual simulation process within DELMIA V5", according to Peter Hinkel, Director Digital Manufacturing Solutions at CENIT. He adds that "through the seamless integration of FASTSURF based on the available CAA V5 platform and direct access to native V5 data, a completely closed process without interruptions in the media is now possible".
"We see the new CENIT software FASTSURF product as a sensible extension of the DELMIA product range, which offers companies from very different industries an efficient add-on in the area of spraying processes", states Minal Santhosh, Manager - CAA partnership at Dassault Systèmes.
In addition to the flexible DELMIA robotics function for the analysis of diverse coating processes, the added value of FASTSURF is founded on powerful algorithms for efficient surface-related path planning. The integrated offline programming quickly and reliably creates smooth, collision-free movement, thus offering additional time savings over the manual teach process. Diverse modification and optimisation options as well as an extensive robotic library round off the technical operating procedures of the new CENIT product.
"Our offering to the customer is the consistent continuation of a successful CENIT product range and makes full use of the potential of the PLM platform from Dassault Systèmes. Again, we are opening up significant innovation potential for proven industry scenarios, thus offering decisive added value for manufacturing companies in transforming their processes", says Kurt Bengel, Member of the Executive Board at CENIT, formulating the objectives of the new software solution.
