Kistler's new generation of software simplifies the use of dynamometric tool testing systems
The new generation of Kistler's Ceus 10 software takes advantage of the intuitive operation of the cerTest tool testing system. Thanks to this web-based program, users can record the measurement parameters of each dynamometric tool and benefit from step-by-step guidance during measurements. They can then access test records and tool history via a local server.
Bolted connections play a highly critical safety role in many different fields of application. That's why an increasing number of manufacturers require their suppliers to document fastening processes. To ensure that a fastener is correctly positioned, correct setting and reliable tool operation are key factors. Tool testing systems (as they are known) ensure that these requirements are met. But what's the most effective way of organizing the testing of the many different tools in a company? And what's the simplest way of transferring data to a database where it can be retrieved in the event of recourse?
Measurement technology specialist Kistler now offers a solution that makes it easier for users to test fastening tools and get the process underway quickly: the web-based Ceus 10 software, which complements Kistler's exclusive cerTest system. This is the latest evolution of the "Central Evaluation Unit for all systems", with even greater emphasis on intuitive operation and easy-to-understand test reports. Ceus 10 also enables cerTest users to store different measurement parameters and access them with just a few clicks whenever required - so each tool's measurement parameters only have to be set once. The program then guides the user step by step through the measurement process. Ceus 10 also generates a specific measurement history for each tool, and automatically stores test records on a server
local.
" To meet growing safety requirements, more and more tool developers and suppliers in the automotive industry and many other sectors 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 advantages of the new generation: " The new generation of software offers decisive advantages for system users and quality managers alike: both the measurements themselves and the resulting recordings are so easy to understand that operators need have no special experience. "The program guides users through the measurements in different languages, and they are also free to choose the language of the recordings. This ensures traceability of tools and parts, even across international borders - without language barriers.
The advantages of the new web-based Ceus 10 software include intuitive operation and easy-to-understand recordings.
With Ceus 10, users of Kistler cerTest test systems can record various measurement parameters, create their own measurement histories and automatically save test records.
