Cascade Engineering Technologies made their name in metrology. Their quality lab is world class with seven Zeiss CMMs. Cascade leverages probing more than most shops. Before a part even hits the CNC all the probing routine has been verified by Vericut. Bottom Left – Devon Ellis has been with the company since he was playing with Legos under his dad’s desk. Last July he was made director of engineering and oversees the engineering department, programming, fixturing, IT, document controls, CMM programming, estimating and quoting. Bottom Right – The shop is split into two work cells. The north cell is filled with Haas vertical machining centers including (3) 5 axis. The south cell has the larger 4 and 5 axis Makino and Matsuura horizontal milling centers along with the Toshiba TUE 150 vertical lathe.

Sandvik Coromant and Okuma collaborate with CGTech on federate optimization technology and rely on VERICUT Force to extend the useful life of their tools and machines. “I used Force on a program that I’d already optimized with a popular CAM system, so I really wasn’t expecting much improvement, but Force lopped 40% off the cycle time on the first go. It was pretty impressive to watch.”

Okuma/Sandvik

Using VERICUT’s CAD/CAM interface saves several hours each week for the programming team, while eliminating mistakes and missteps. “…there’s no time wasted on simulating toolpaths for a job that won’t fit in the machine or doesn’t have enough tools in the magazine.”

“If we crash a spindle on a CNC-machine it means up to a week of missing production on the machine in question. First, we need a service technician, then we need to assess the damage, and then we need to realign the machine. When that is done, we need to replace the spindle with one we have in reserve or we need to order a new one. This is what we want to avoid by simulation of all our NC programming,” says Christian Wissing Kruse.

“We always had VERICUT at Red Bull as it was part of the process, so not to have it was stressful to say the least. As soon as we could afford it, we invested in the software because it is not just for big businesses. After a major break-down you think ‘with that money I could have had VERICUT’. Other small companies see it as a massive overhead; we see it as an essential tool of cost cutting and survival in the long run.”

M.C. Molds has been using VERICUT CNC machining software from CGTech for the past 18 years to ensure its customers receive the highest quality product. “We use and rely on VERICUT to verify datum shifts, cutter path manipulation, and most of all quality. I am happy to attest that VERICUT, the software and people have been very helpful with regards to our—and our customers’—success.”

M.C. Molds

"We're seeing cost savings with fewer fixtures and much less scrap, especially as employees are now far more relaxed and less stressed. VERICUT® not only saves a lot of time, we are really excited about the features. For complex parts, for example, you always see directly whether the geometries fit. "

Winkhaus

Parts for machining always follow the same procedure. The NC program is prepared and set up and run through VERICUT. Any mistakes are reported back to the programmer who carries out any modifications and corrections. The toolpath is then re-checked with VERICUT and when clear it is released to the company’s network. “VERICUT has increased our capacity so we can grow. Without it we would spend too much time repairing errors and not be able to move the company forward.”

Tirad

TAI has a global reputation for design and development, manufacturing and integration, aircraft modernisation and life cycle support. At Turkey’s most advanced industry supplier, many of these functions are supported by VERICUT CNC simulation, verification and optimization software.

Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI)

“First stage of our continuous improvement engineering philosophy is to make everything in production safe, and VERICUT has achieved that for us. We have to save the machine spindles and eliminate lost production time, fortunately it is safe to crash in VERICUT and NC programs can be modified without any serious consequence.”

John Deere

“I believe VERICUT is the most reliable simulation tool. VERICUT avoids serious damages to machine tools, reduces CAM operators checking time, and also alleviates their mental burden. I can say you would realize a sharp decrease of processing errors and tool breakages, one year later. VERICUT is certainly ‘the last bastion.’”

Casio

Batch sizes vary from 15 parts up to 500 components, so the component mix and variety is high requiring a significant number of machine set-ups. “VERICUT helps us keep everything safe during these changes, when we are developing new fixtures, or changing the set-up of products on the machine tools. It validates and verifies every step of the development and manufacturing process.”

Hexagon Ortho

“VERICUT est donc indispensable à notre process de fabrication et il est utilisé même pour la production de pièces mineures. Il est fiable et rapide, compter environ 10 à 15 min de vérification pour un programme d’usinage qui prend entre 4 à 6h. Nos techniciens ont été formés par CGTech depuis maintenant des années et disposent s’ils en ont besoin de toute l’expertise du « support » en cas de problème.”

Lisi Medical

“We have to compete with outside mould tool suppliers, on quality, cost and delivery lead times,” concludes Roman Miko. “VERICUT ensures our machine tools are safe and always available to us, and protects the machined mould tool components from any programming errors. Both of these have a direct influence on our ability to meet our promises to deliver.”

Continental Barum

Thanks to VERICUT, Alstom was able to dramatically reduce their prove-out cycle and save 10 percent on its overall machining time as a result of the improved feed rates. “Setting up jobs is now much faster than before, typically we need just half the time. The programs can be very easily tested with VERICUT. Unnecessary motions are found quickly so they can be avoided.”

Alstom

“Set-up times have been reduced thanks to VERICUT, especially with the new horizontal machines. Its design is kinematic so it makes a lot of rotational axes moves, and any error could very easily damage the part or the machine tool. These moves can be accurately simulated using VERICUT.”

KP Aerospace

VERICUT is the first choice for the successful final inspection of a program. Especially with such complex machining centers, numerous functions are covered by the post processor. Certain subprograms are created and tested offline so as not to block the machine, but their simulation is also done in VERICUT. This is the only way to judge with absolute certainty whether the result will really work in the end.

Trumpf

“Mistakes are not acceptable, the forgings are expensive at around $80,000... Thanks to VERICUT, we are confident that our manufacturing integrity and on-time delivery will remain intact.”

Alp Aviation

Scrap rate has been reduced thanks to VERICUT. Before the software was installed there was always some doubt with the NC program in case some mistakes may have been made, but since the verification software has been used the operators are confident that the program is correct and ready to use.

Tusas Engine Industries (TEI)

VERICUT enables the NC programmers at HELLER to correct errors before the program is ever loaded on the CNC machine, thereby eliminating manual prove-outs. “The manually generated programs and the programs from the CAM system are simulated with VERICUT and every possible collision situation, process error, material removal errors, or part/stock differences are demonstrated reliably.”

When AMG decided to purchase a Scharmann ECOSPEED F to their facility, Director of Engineering, John Gates, wrote the post and simulated it with VERICUT while the machine was still being built. Through the use of the VERICUT simulation software he was able to debug 95% of his post before even seeing the machine in person, and was up and running at least a month ahead of where AMG would have been without it.

Aerospace Manufacturing Group (AMG)

Elliott Group implemented VERICUT to ensure operator safety and eliminate scrapped parts. “The number one reason VERICUT was chosen was of course SAFETY. Worrying about a crash used to be part of our day-to-day routine. Not anymore.”

Elliott Group

Since VERICUT was introduced at Rohde & Schwarz, all program-related collisions between tool and workpiece, tool and fixture or machine components stopped completely. “VERICUT simulation is an absolute must – no NC program goes to the machine tool if it has not previously been simulated with VERICUT.”

Rohde & Schwarz

By simulating its NC programs and removing all of the testing and proving from the shop ahead of time, Meloche’s machines can always be in production. “It decreases the time spent on the shop floor.”

By simulating the actual G-code just as the machine sees it with VERICUT, Micro-Mechanics’ has increased efficiency and enabled crash-free, lights-out operation of its FMS systems. VERICUT allows them to deliver perfect parts, on time and at a competitive price. “Machining is a science, and being successful means developing internal disciplines and engineering skills needed to compete. VERICUT is one of those tools.”

„Heute durchlaufen 95% aller Werkstücke die VERICUT® Simulation und somit hat auch der „Worst Case“ seinen Schrecken verloren: „Kollisionen mit Maschinenkomponenten, Spannmitteln und Werkstücken wurden eliminiert“, Die Einfahrzeiten von Neuteilen konnten um 30% verringert werden – Tendenz weiter sinkend.“

Blaser Jagdwaffen

Vericut is a more reliable method of checking G-code than are CAM systems. “We find it very useful in finding errors and inefficient machining processes, without the need to tie up limited CNC machining resources. It also provides much better utilization of the instructor’s time. Overall, it’s a necessary tool for anyone teaching the machine trades.”

Education

“Nel momento in cui – ci ha infatti spiegato Sgotti – abbiamo preso coscienza del fatto che dovevamo migliorare la tecnologia della nostra officina e che la strada che ci avrebbe portato i risultati migliori in termini di velocizzazione della produzione era quella della simulazione virtuale, abbiamo deciso di informarci, approdando, alla fine, a CGTech e a VERICUT, il suo software di simulazione, verifica e ottimizzazione dei programmi NC per macchine utensili a controllo numerico”.

VERICUT simulation and optimization is the safety net for Great Plains Industries’ flexible manufacturing system (FMS). “Even programmers mess up sometimes. When they do, VERICUT is there to prevent catastrophic damage to expensive equipment. It saves us in so many ways—money for repairs, machine availability, operator injury, tool damage, and ultimately time. That’s the one thing we can’t get back.”

Great Plains Industries

UMC & Computape, neighbors in Monticello, MN embrace VERICUT as a necessary component of their manufacturing processes. VERICUT’s verification and optimization save both companies from crashes and having to rework code. “What you see on the screen isn’t always what you get on the machine… the CAM system’s simulation uses its own internal calculations, whereas VERICUT reads the actual G-code, the same as the machine tool.”

UMC & Computape

The best five-axis machines require the best software. Reko Tool has had so much success with VERICUT simulation and verification on it’s DMU 210 P that it is preparing for all 3D-cutting machines to use VERICUT as well. “Once Vericut was put into use, we found our optimization increase tenfold, almost a 100-percent reduction on errors, and it provided complete peace of mind for operators and managers alike.”

VERICUT doesn’t just assist the programmers at King Machine, it instills confidence in the people operating and setting up the machines. “The guys are doing setups on at least 8 part numbers a day. We would never be able to have that efficiency without using VERICUT.”

King Machine

Euroform relies on VERICUT to increase production capacity in response to growing demand for their mould tools. “Before VERICUT we would run machines 2 or 3 hours after closing time, but now they can run through Friday night to Monday morning…Effectively, the software has given us additional machining capacity without investing in more machine tools or staff.”

Euroform

Family owned RE Thompson has relied on VERICUT simulation and optimization software for over 25 years. Just like the capability of the machine tools that RE Thompson has continually invested in, VERICUT has also constantly evolved in line with the CAD/CAM systems used by the company. “As a company we have always been aware of change and we will keep evolving... Of course, at each step we take every precaution to protect our well-established reputation and VERICUT certainly plays a part in that.”

RE Thompson

Trijicon Inc. has the foresight to avoid crashes, reduce downtime and increase production levels on their aiming systems by using tool path simulation from VERICUT. “I don’t waste time trying to make sure everything’s perfect up front, because VERICUT tells me if I’ve missed anything. It’s really changed our approach to programming.”

Trijicon

Multicut is looking to establish a completely autonomous manufacturing facility, so achieving a machine utilization as close as possible to 100 percent is critical. “Achieving this requires good people and capable machine tools equipped with automation, all supported by advanced software such as VERICUT.”

Ecco’s vision is to become the best shoe company in the world. That’s why they choose VERICUT to protect the production of their mould tools at every step. “Of course we had problems prior to installing VERICUT, we would lose one spindle per year due to crashes caused by programming errors…but ever since VERICUT has been in use the same spindle has stayed on the shelf.”

Ecco Shoes

VERICUT is crucial in protecting the complex machines and improving production planning at Mokveld’s state-of-the-art manufacturing and testing facility in Gouda, Holland. “…as VERICUT simulates the exact movements of the whole operation it results in a predicted cycle time that is within 5 per cent of the actual time required, optimising not just the process but also the production control.”

Together with support from its customers, CGTech continues to increase the capabilities of their VERICUT software. “If there’s something that you want to do in the software and you don’t see how to do it, just ask. Chances are good there’s a setting that can be changed or some other way to accomplish your goals… we’re partners. Everyone’s in it together.” Ultra Machining Company (UMC) recently reached out to CGTech for a customization request and what they got was “exactly what we were looking for”.

Pioneer Industries specializes in aerospace and commercial manufacturing utilizing CNC mills and software. Although most CAM software includes their own simulation ability, company policy that every job is run through VERICUT before being released to the shop floor. “Mastercam is a great programming package and has good simulation capabilities, but it doesn’t read the posted G-code like VERICUT does. That can make a difference.”

Pioneer Industries Manufacturing

Aerospace customers demand zero defects and zero disruption to the supply chain. That’s why BMT Aerospace International N.V. trusts VERICUT to prevent tool crashes. “You simply cannot afford any mistakes when you’re producing expensive parts on very expensive machinery.
