Spot Welding

The spot weld technology of FASTSUITE Edition 2 can be used to support fixed, stationary weld guns as well as complete BiW assembly lines.

Various CAD data supported

An extensive robot library ready for use

Automatic creation of spot welding technology parameters

Easily generate error-free robot programs for spot welding applications.

The spot welding technology of FASTSUITE Edition 2 can be individually adapted for stationary, robot-operated welding guns as well as for body-in-white systems with flexible joining cells. In contrast to manual teaching, the software supports the creation of complete programs including all bypass movements and process-specific control commands.

Extensive support and easy of use:

Various CAD data supported
An extensive robot library ready for use
Import option for fastener definitions from engineering, including process planning information
Gun selection support (reachability studies for weld points, collision validation)

Programming and simulation for shorter cycle times and higher spot welding quality

Generation and simulation of clamp compensation.
Automatic path planning and sequencing, including approach and retract motions
Automatic application of controller commands and weld parameters
Interpolation functions to avoid robot arm collisions and accessibility issues
Simple teach-in functions to optimize linking motions
Automatic creation of technology parameters (stack thickness, locking times, etc.) and process events (speeds, synchronization commands, I/O signals, etc.).
Option to save the simulated program in 3D-PDF

Ready for production

Controller-specific downloaders and postprocessors
Uploaders for uploading welding programs from the controller and back to the offline program for simulation and analysis
Command of external I/O devices, e.g. using PLC logic, is also possible to implement
