Success Story
Rajamane Industries are the leading manufacturers and suppliers of various kinds of pumps, skimmers, Fondry, stirrers ,motors and etc.
Rajamane Industries were challenged to do localized finishing of matting / fitting area in engine gear casting for a cast part by optimizing time and avoiding risk factors such as collision and accidents happening in the manual generation of the CNC program.
Achieving our customer's deadline in the past has been overly complicated as every project has more complicated structured models. Especially for the engine case models, which have more curvature and minimal radial corner portion, are exceedingly difficult to achieve the fine finishing with a manual CNC program by the required deadline.
With the help of Autodesk Fusion 360, we are planning to reduce our machining time. With this we can improve overall productivity.
How did we make it possible? As the user interface was user friendly, the solution enabled us to get started soon. In this part, which is mentioned in this success story, we have used only six strategies to achieve our result. For example, instead of using the facing cycle in the machine for removing stock material on the mounting area of the part, 2D contour strategy in Autodesk Fusion 360 helped us to remove the material in the required portion only, which has saved a lot of time by avoiding non-cutting passes. Also, by us using the feature in the Fusion 360 Advanced Machining extension, we were enabled to edit or trim unwanted toolpaths.
The major difficulty that we had faced with manual programming was to imagine the stock material to create the program of the part which can cause a risk of a crash or missing of an operation. But when we use the Fusion 360 solution, those issues were solved by using the component as a stock model and enabled the toolpath to be created. It is verified by simulating and confirmed before the machine run.
In a manual program, we needed multiple drilling cycles, but Fusion 360 did it in a single operation boring, which is helping us to avoid the wide number of tools. 3D contour strategy is used for the surface floor finish and side wall portion in a required area of the part. By deploying all these strategies, we have achieved overall machining in 9.26 minutes, which earlier required 13.35 minutes by using the manual program.
In single click, we got all the details of the machining exported as setup sheet, which is immensely helpful for our operator to understand the program, tool properties, holder properties, feed rate, RPM, orthographic and isometric images of toolpaths and operations details.
In the aspect of business, as Fusion 360 is user friendly and cost effective, even a basic programmer can be trained to use this software to do complicated parts instead of a highly skilled programmer, which can cost more to the organization.
As the cycle time is reduced, the production per day is increased directly increasing our revenue.
As we are a verifying the toolpath, we can increase tool life, and prevent tool breakage, machine accidents and part rejections which prevents unwanted expense.
Fusion 360 is the first CAM software installed at our organization. It has met all our machining requirements.
For an organization's 3M’s (Man, Material, Money), which is vital to grow, Autodesk Fusion 360 has enabled us to save on the 3M’s and grow significantly.
As a result of this, we can provide high quality parts at a competitive price resulting in gaining a good reputation in the domain, and in turn getting more successful orders.
