FASTSUITE Edition 2 enables manufacturers to create, simulate and analyze spraying applications and refine spray patterns, surface coverage, spray cone extension and deposition speeds, all this before the real robotic system even exists and regardless of the robot brand or model.
Versatile visualization tools like surface deposition time color mapping, and spray cone display, are built inside FASTSUITE Edition 2 to allow to visualize the spray coverage during the offline programing and optimization phase.
Using FASTSUITE Edition 2, manufacturers can overcome the online programming limitations by using the CAD files of the workpiece, to achieve an accurate trajectory planning on complex 3D surfaces. The process simulation allows robot trajectories to be optimized to dispense the proper amount of sprayed material, and to get an even deposition along the surface, ensuring coverage and avoiding waste.
Simulation is an important support during the entire project implementation process. During planning it can validate cell layouts and tooling designs for reachability, and generate cycle time estimations even for complex multi-robot cells. Using special tools to analyze the process coverage result, it can help to avoid programming errors and validate programs before they are downloaded to a real cell. Simulation results of created painting and surfacing programs can be exported in 3D-PDF format, to enable fast and effective communication.
