Kistler's Next Generation Software Simplifies Operation of Torque Tool Test Systems
The new generation of Kistler's Ceus 10 software takes advantage of the intuitive use of the cerTest tool testing system. With this web-based program, users can record the measurement parameters of each torque tool and benefit from step-by-step guidance during measurements. They can then access test records and tool history through a local server.
Bolted joints play a very critical safety role in many different application areas. This is why an increasing number of manufacturers require their suppliers to document fastening processes. To ensure that a fastener is placed correctly, correct adjustment and reliable operation of the tool are the key factors. Tool testing systems (as they are called) ensure that these requirements are met. But what is the most effective way to organize the control of the many different tools in a company? And what is the easiest way to transfer data to a database where it can be recovered in case of appeal?
Measurement technology specialist Kistler now offers a solution that makes it easier for users to test fastening tools and get started quickly: the web-based Ceus 10 software that complements Kistler's proprietary cerTest system. This is the latest evolution of the "Central Evaluation Unit for all systems", which places even greater emphasis on intuitive operation and easy-to-understand test reports. Ceus 10 also allows cerTest users to store different measurement parameters and access them with just a few clicks whenever needed – so the measurement parameters of each tool only need to be set once. The program then guides the user step by step through the measurements. Ceus 10 also generates a specific measurement history for each tool, and automatically stores test records on a server
local.
"To meet increasing safety requirements, more and more tool developers and suppliers from the automotive industry and many other industries are opting for inspection systems such as cerTest," according to Dr. Gerald Zeinert, Head of Ceus 10 Development at Kistler. He goes on to explain the benefits of the new generation: "The new generation of software has decisive advantages for system users as well as for quality managers: both the measurements themselves and the resulting records are so easy to understand that operators do not need to have any special experience. The program guides users through measurements in different languages, and they are also free to choose the language of the recordings. This ensures the traceability of tools and parts, even across international borders – without language barriers.
The benefits of the new web-based Ceus 10 software include intuitive operation and easily understandable recordings.
With Ceus 10, users of Kistler's cerTest test systems can record different measurement parameters, create their own measurement histories and automatically save test recordings.
