Synergies Between WeldUniverse PRO and OTC ADVANCED: Efficiency Enhancement Through Seamless Integration
The combination of WeldUniverse PRO and OTC ADVANCED creates a powerful synergy that helps companies comprehensively optimize their welding processes and increase efficiency. While WeldUniverse PRO ensures real-time documentation and analysis of welding parameters, OTC ADVANCED enables precise offline programming and simulation of robot movements.
This integration offers numerous advantages: Companies can develop and optimize welding programs virtually, ensuring they are error-free and efficient from the start. Once the programs are loaded into the production line, WeldUniverse PRO monitors processes in real time, providing valuable data for quality assurance and traceability.
By seamlessly connecting planning and execution, companies can minimize downtime, improve product quality, and enhance the efficiency of the entire production chain. Additionally, centralized process and resource management via the WeldUniverse PRO dashboard allows for in-depth analysis and optimization, while the flexible offline programming capabilities of OTC ADVANCED keep production flow agile and adaptable.
Overall, companies benefit from increased planning reliability, reduced costs, and greater competitiveness through the continuous digitalization and automation of their welding processes.
OTC DAIHEN offers a full-scale offline software based on CENIT OTC Advanced. Three scalable versions are available to meet specific customer requirements.
All versions incorporate modern CAD-based offline programming. After importing CAD data, modern automatisms are immediately available, including powerful functions for automatic recognition of fillet welds, forced-position interpolation, mirroring, and cloning recurring weld paths and patterns, in addition to all important welding parameters. Once programmed, the system can be directly downloaded to the control system.
The versions Advanced and Integrator featuring a fixture builder, a computer-aided function that can quickly and flexibly design a suitable support fixture for any type of free form and export it immediately via CAD file.
Exclusively the version Integrator provides all necessary functions to expand existing libraries and create new components individually, such as traversing axes, positioners, and other peripherals. This allows for customization and flexibility in designing automation systems, making programming even more efficient and tailored to specific needs.
