FTZ, which has been specializing in CAD software for over 40 years, distributes 2 cabinet design software packages :

  • For detailed 3-dimensional cabinet design : FTZ-Panel 3D software
  • For simplified cabinets in 2 1/2 dimensions: the CABI module

These programs are independent of component suppliers. They can be linked to SchemELECT electrical CAD software to create electrical diagrams and bills of materials.

Simplified cabinet

The CABI module works from simplified volumes created directly with its integrated editor. Volumes are quickly inserted into the structure in 2D 1/2. The layout of the equipment is defined by checking the dimensions and the various overall dimensions.

This product also provides drilling plans and their dimensioning.

Detailled cabinet

The FTZ-Panel 3D software, which is more advanced and more precise, works from STEP-format volumes extracted from Internet portals or from 3D mechanical CAD software. The volumes of the various components are arranged in a tree structure, and are quickly inserted into the cabinet in 3 dimensions. The software integrates busbars, rails, trunking, plates, etc. It considers dimensions and possible assemblies.

An advanced algorithm determines wire routing and deduces wire and cable lengths. It also interfaces with wire-cutting machines.

FTZ-Panel 3D is complemented by a dedicated workshop software package: FTZ-Wiring Assistant for wiring design and monitoring. It provides a direct link between the Design Office and Manufacturing without the need for re-entry.

Thanks to its advanced, dedicated functions, FTZ-Panel 3D is used by both machine manufacturers and panel builders producing low- and medium-voltage cabinets and panels.

It meets the needs of companies committed to advanced productivity, quality and Industry 4.0.
