Risong Technology and CENIT AG joined hands to customize intelligent production line for industrial fields such as digital factory - virtual manufacturing - sheet metal processing, which is a new starting point for sheet metal assembly and body-in-white solutions. A new fastening technology is adopted in this production line, new concepts and solutions are applied in simulating body-in-white and sheet metal assembly, thus a process plan can be effectively customized. From spot welding to trimming, the fastening technology can be efficiently programmed and simulated in each link of the body-in-white process. The fastening technology is applicable to all application programs and robots, providing a complete set of simple, easy-to-use, independent, flexible and highly integrated solutions for customers.
