FASTTIP
A solution by: CENIT
Application domain: Manufacturing
Solution Overview
Product Overview
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.
Product Advantages
- Fully integrated 3D programming, postprocessing, simulation and process verification

- Adjustable riveting operation: Definition of process parameters, selection of geometry (rubberband, polygon-selection, standard V5 queries), definition of approach and depart motions, process events
- Integrated tool machines or robot cell simulation
- Function to read back existing programs
- Automatic conversion of jointing representation in process features
- Comfortable filtering, selection and sequencing of process features
- Automatic layer analysis for multilayer drilling
- Powerful functions to calculate smooth and collision-free tool paths
- Flexible functionalities for detailing, changing and supplementing fasteners
- Reliable robot and machine programs
