Welding Systems

FASTSUITE helps you reach the full potential of welding systems. The software offers efficient functions to define welding areas, to create complete operations including touch-sense support, and to efficiently multiply operations for workpieces with repetitive geometries. With its brand-agnostic solution it makes no matter what welding robot is used. In addition, the software is offering comprehensive support of multi-robot setups, dynamic workpiece positioners and external axis.

Why to select a brand-agnostic offline software?

Robot-based welding is extremely versatile. Steel constructions for architecture, frames for transportation, exhaust systems for automotive or weld assemblies for heavy machinery - all of them have their specific requirements. The result is a huge variety of robot welding cells. From single robots to complex multi-robot installations, all of them provdied from different robot manufacturers and system integrators. And also the process integration is different. From highly flexible programming to come with small batches until high automation to cope with design variants. FASTSUITE is the perfect software to manage all these different challenges in just one software. To support creativity, to capture skills and experiences and to permanently increase productivity.

No matter, if new weld equipment has to be installed, or if existing welding cells have to be operated as efficiently as possible. Robots can guarantee a consistent welding quality. For example, they can provide an always-perfect angle of inclination, use a consistent and optimal welding speed, and automatically apply the appropriate welding parameters. But the best welding robot is only as good as its programming. FASTSUITE helps you to apply the best welding strategy and to select the optimum parameters for achieving a perfect weld result.

Can welding production and digital continuity go hand in hand?

Paperless welding is not a hype, but a great trend when double work or data losses shall be avoided. Classical manufacturing processes require a technical drawing that contains all process information, and the robot operator has to read this drawing to program the robot correctly - weld line by weld line. FASTSUITE is a perfect solution for implementing a digital continuity process - independent from the CAD systems that are used. The 3D model of the weld assembly can be directly imported with no coordinate error. If available from engineering FASTSUITE can also import existing weldine definitions, including weld seam location and parameters. FASTSUITE users can then quickly assign operations and parameters during programming. Manual weld line definition is no longer necessary! The amount of work is considerably lower and the work quality much higher, since the welds are exactly as intended by the designer. And even in case of design changes, FASTSUITE can highlight those areas where the design change has an impact, so the programmer can focus on the modifications easily.

Is offline programming really safe and reliable?

As long as the virtual project in the computer, including the workpiece and the fixture, is a good representation of the real setup, offline-programming is very safe and reliable. Our team offers calibration services to ensure that the simulation model is an exact digital twin of the real cell. Once this is done, every process step can be validated before programs are executed on the real robot cell.

The fixture design and clamping positions can be supported by using a swept volumes. The robot program and the fixture can be validated by simulations with collision checks. In case of errors, collisions or reachability issues only occur on the computer screen, and they can be easily detected and avoided.
