Kistler CAD Download Service Brings Sensors and Electronics Straight into Design

To allow direct incorporation of Kistler products into CAD designs, the Kistler CAD Download Service offers prospective and existing customers a wide range of 3D CAD models free of charge. These models can be quickly and easily downloaded over the Internet for immediate importation into CAD designs. This saves the designer the considerable time otherwise involved in laboriously redrawing Kistler components.

There are 46 different 3D file formats and 28 different 2D file formats available. All of the data sheets for the products on offer can also be obtained through this service.

Quick and Easy Approach to Design Data

The CAD data is made easily accessible by the clearly arranged interface of the Kistler Part Community, which organizes a wide range of Kistler products (force, torque and strain sensors, electronics, joining modules, etc.) in a tree structure. A 360º preview of each individual selected product is generated initially. Products that come in different versions or have moving parts can be individually configured by setting parameters. A command can be given to load the CAD models in the chosen format onto the designer's PC for immediate incorporation in a CAD design.

The Kistler CAD Download Service provides you with the latest design data of our prod-ucts for use in your CAD system in a matter of minutes. This considerably simplifies and speeds up creation of different design variants, ultimately helping you arrive at a techni-cally mature solution so much faster you achieve a significant market edge.

The Kistler CAD Download Service can be accessed in three different ways:

• www.kistler.com > Products > Product Finder, using direct product links (called deep links) in the download area,
• www.partserver.com, which can be accessed in 18 country domains and 5 languages,
