Jan. 23, 2026 — With the new maXYmos Analyzer (2850A) PC software, Kistler provides a powerful tool for making more productive use of data from the manufacturing process. The measurement curves from assembly lines recorded by the maXYmos series of process monitoring systems can be efficiently analyzed, documented and evaluated in order to draw data-based conclusions about production optimization — either during the ongoing process or in post-processing.

Assembly and joining techniques such as precision joining, press fitting, riveting, clinching and caulking are among the key assembly processes in industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical technology and many others. With Kistler's electromechanical joining systems (servo presses), high-precision sensor technology, and intelligent process monitoring, these manufacturing processes can be efficiently automated and sustainably optimized. The process monitoring systems in the maXYmos product family ensure that joining and assembly processes are precise, quality-assured and resource-efficient — for maximum productivity and the highest level of safety in production.

Force-displacement monitoring in manufacturing: What does the data reveal?

To get more out of the data collected — for example, for ongoing production optimization – Kistler provides the new maXYmos Analyzer PC software. As the final link in the measurement chain, it offers the ability to quickly and easily analyze measurement curves from process-monitored production, such as force-displacement measurement data when joining a bearing to a shaft. The measurement curves stored in the maXYmos process monitoring system for each manufactured component form the basis for detecting irregularities. In addition, SPC parameters such as Cp and CpK are automatically determined for the selected curve bundle.

Efficiently visualize and evaluate measurement curves

The new maXYmos Analyzer PC software is based on Kistler's jBEAM measurement data analysis platform and is tailor-made for maximum efficiency in production optimization. Users can zoom, compare, filter and analyze measurement curves, both immediately after each production step and later in the overview. During development, the focus was on transparent, intuitive and efficient use. The goal was that the software quickly identifies deviations from the target and reliably reduces defective parts. It also enables the interactive use of KPIs as well as statistics and trend analyses. This allows data-driven production optimization.

Complete measurement chain from a single source: now with data analysis

maXYmos Analyzer is available as a standard license for use with maXYmos NC (for Kistler joining systems, from v1.7) and the process monitoring systems maXYmos TL (5877B, from v1.7) and maXYmos BL (from 5867C). A free trial version is also available for interested parties. With the new maXYmos Analyzer (2850A) PC software, Kistler completes its range of dynamic measurement technology for production optimization and process monitoring. Users now have access to a complete measurement chain for joining and assembly processes from a single source: from sensors to software and with a matching electromechanical joining system (servo press).
