The effect of 50% reduction in manufacturing costs! Example of introduction of CAM software for automatic generation of processing programs

➀ Purpose

Daytime time is taken up to create a machining program, and the operation rate of machining at the machining center decreases. It takes time to train NC program mers, but there is a problem that we want to reduce the time required to create machining programs and increase the utilization rate of machining centers.

(2) Points of introduction

・ ARUMCODE manufactured by ALM Co., Ltd. automatically generates
NC programs simply by reading CAD data ・ AI software
based on the concept of fully automatic ・ While reducing the load on NC program creators, You can increase the operation rate of the machining center

(3) Examples

* It is based on the data results of the ALM experiment, and the results vary depending on the usage environment.

Soft < Specifications>
/ Machineable models : Vertical 3-axis machining center
/ Compatible NC control : FANUC, Mitsubishi Electric (Merdas)
/ Workpiece to be machined : 6F material
/ Recommended workpiece size: 200 mm × 200 mm × 50 mm
/ Number of tools that can be registered: 1,000 pieces
/ Workpiece fixing method: Vice
/ CAD data format: STL

(4) Results

・The time required to create a processing program was reduced by 96% compared to the current CAM.
(The number of drawings per year increased
from 11,000 to 20,000)
・ NC programming work can be completed unmanned at night, and it has become possible to fully operate the machining center during the day.
(Annual machine utilization rate increased by 30% →80%) ・Efficient production management planning became possible, and the number of orders received annually for high-mix small-lot products increased
by 180%.

(5) ARUMCODE will continue to evolve in the future
