Trimming and Routing

CENIT FASTSUITE simplifies the definition, simulation and optimization of trimming and routing applications on both, robot-based systems and special machines.

Various CAD data supported
An extensive robot and machine library
Easy to use & friendly technology

Versatile programming for trimming and routing even for complex geometries

Trimming and routing applications are heavily used when composite parts or plastic parts are concerned, no matter if aerospace, automotive, consumer goods or others. FASTSUITE Edition 2 simplifies the definition, simulation and optimization of trimming and routing applications on both, robot-based systems and special machines. The software is also very open and flexible to easily integrate and customize process-specific applications. This leads to perfect support for any trimming and routing technology, such as milling, ultrasonic cutting, waterjet cutting, plasma cutting and many more. For achieving a perfect cutting result, the toolpath algorithms can use support surfaces or flank faces of the part to control the tool orientation, including special rules when the tangent orientation of the tool has to be considered.

 

 

 

Cutting Path planning directly on CAD data

  • various CAD data supported (list)
  • automatic 3D contour detection, no 3rd party CAM software required
  • import option to load pre-defined cutting contours from process planning and engineering
  • an extensive robot and tool library ready for use
  • pre-customized technology that enables contour-based trajectory planning
  • automatic creation of path approach, retract and linking motions

Simulation of process quality

  • dynamic simulation of machine and robot motion, including virtual controller simulation for true motion planning
  • trace function and high-performant collision check for full process control
  • option to save the simulated program in 3D-PDF

Ready for production

  • controller-specific downloaders and postprocessors
  • uploaders for uploading trimming 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
