Success Story

PowerMill Shortened Cycle Time by 30%

PowerMill Shortened Cycle Time by 30%

Customer challenge

Delta CNC Applications is one of the top players in the automotive and aerospace field. The aerospace and automotive assembly components require high quality precision and accuracy. Parts will be in different shapes and come with a variety of special operations required to finish them. The programming and setting time required for these parts are very high. That's where the requirement for a precision CAM software solution becomes critical.

Project goals

Without compromising precision and accuracy, increasing the productivity is a major challenge that the industry is facing. To match the market requirement for both turning and milling requires a competitive solution which helps to increase productivity. A milling solution requires new technology which reduces the cycle time without compromising the safety of the machine. Companies need a design software solution which will work with all 3D formats.

Solution

To cater to the Delta CNC's need, Blue Bell Engineering Solutions quickly came up with the Autodesk Fusion 360 with PowerMill solution. With the help of PowerMill, we can easily tackle the lead time and machine safety issues. Fusion 360 is a complete design-to-turning program generator for all turning works.

Business outcome

Fusion 360 software is a complete solution for 3D design and turning. This helps in fulfilling the programming requirements for 14 CNC turning centers at Delta CNC. All design works are now done with Fusion 360 for the company. The solution helps tracking old to new design changes made in collaboration with multiple workers. PowerMill works as a comprehensive milling solution for both 3- and 4-axis machines. The main issue that the aerospace industry is facing is maximum material and it should be removed in a significantly reduced time frame. Autodesk PowerMill's vortex milling helps to reduce more than 25% of the cycle time for aerospace parts.

Conclusion

"PowerMill is the first CAM software I have installed at my machine shop. It has met all my machining requirements, and I do not feel the need to look for any other software. I compared PowerMill to the software that my competitors were using and realized that we have been able to achieve a cycle time reduction by 15-20%." - Mr. Natarajan (Managing Director, Delta CNC)
