Adhesive bonding is increasingly used in car body assembly to improve the global strength and stiffness of the car body-in-white and crash performance. KUKA.Sim 4.0 is based on a modular software architecture with an efficient, flexible and durable toolbox principle.The basic package can be expanded with three add-ons: for powerful modeling of an individual component library, for virtual commissioning and for simulation of welding applications. WeldNote keeps track of welder performance qualifications (WPQ) expiration dates and notifies you in-app or via email, saving you the time and money required to requalify. Simulation offers students a safe and scalable learning environment and students can later advance to real robotic hardware. Mechanical joining processes include riveting mostly used in assembly of airplanes, and self-piercing riveting (SPR) and clinching mostly used in assembly of cars especially for joining aluminum sheets and dissimilar materials such as between aluminum and steel or between metal and carbon fiber materials. Intelitek and Yaskawa software for robotics are education optimized solutions that allow students to easily understand and learn the fundamentals of robotic operation and programming. The software also supports heat treatment processes that are either coupled with the weld assembly, for example as post-weld heat treatment, or applied as an upstream process for individual components. Resistance spot welding is mostly used for joining thin sheets such as in assembly of car body-in-white, while resistance projection welding is more used for complex or small parts such as nut welding, electronic circuits and electrical connectors. FabWeld is a development environment for the goal-oriented creation of simulation models for single- and multi-stage weld assembly. Simufact Welding is practice-oriented, fast and easy to learn.
The software is aligned to the practical needs of our users. Welding Management Software weldinGo is a tool designed for tracking the work and performance of welders. Resistance welding, mechanical joining and adhesive bonding are three of the most productive and cost-effective joining technologies widely applied in manufacturing industry especially in automotive, aerospace and electronics industries. Simufact Welding is a simulation tool for hands-on professionals working with welding technology.
