Manufacturers have been shown how \u201cthree of the strongest names in the world in their field,\u201d can help solve today\u2019s biggest challenge.
\nPaul Williams, UK Product and Applications Manager for cutting tool specialist Sandvik Coromant, says the partnership between Sandvik Coromant, machine tool builder DMG Mori, and CAD\/CAM software Edgecam, ensures UK manufacturers can compete in a global economy.
\n\"Logo_Sandvik<\/a>He says today\u2019s manufacturing challenge arises from manufacturers in developed economies having both higher and different costs than those in developing economies.
\nExplaining to delegates at Edgecam\u2019s Productivity Day that the solution was to drive down costs per part, he said the relationship between CAM, cutting tool and machine tool, played a major role. \u201cReducing the total manufacturing cycle through reduced downtime and economic machining will improve both effectiveness and efficiency.
\nDMG Mori, Sandvik Coromant and Edgecam are three of the strongest names in their own areas of expertise in the world. The technology is available for everyone \u2013 events like this show manufacturers the benefits of working with it. It\u2019s all about focusing on the right issues and then improving them even more.\u201d
\nA point echoed by DMG Mori UK Managing Director Steve Finn. \u201cWe don\u2019t sell pieces of cast iron \u2013 we sell solutions, and can provide the full package of machine tool and cutting tool, along with the right CAM software to ensure getting the very best from the hardware.\u201d
\nAnd he says Edgecam\u2019s two releases of updated software a year guarantee future-proofing. \u201cMachine tools are a major investment for both small operations and large blue-chip companies, and Edgecam ensures they\u2019ll continue performing to optimum standards throughout their overall life of 20 years or more.\u201d
\n\"Logo_DMG<\/a>Delegates at the Productivity Day, at DMG Mori\u2019s UK headquarters, saw live machining demonstrations highlighting how the partnership between Mori Seiki machines programmed with Edgecam and using Sandvik Coromant cutting tools, produces accurate components first time.
\nEdgecam\u2019s Strategic Partnership Manager Wesley Tonks says: \u201cWe\u2019re working with machine tool and cutting tool partners to help customers build an efficient and productive process.\u00a0 We\u2019re bringing the three disciplines together which manufacturers need to embrace, in order to be successful.
\n\u201cThe same cutting tool can be applied in several ways, and Edgecam is regarded as having highly productive and efficient cutting strategies, giving manufacturers the confidence to try new things in their production processes.\u201d
\nWaveform Turning, one of the items of new functionality in Edgecam 2015 R1, featured at the Productivity Day. \u201cWe\u2019ve developed Waveform Milling over the last couple of years; now it\u2019s available for turning strategies, too,\u201d says Wesley Tonks.
\nWhich is something delegates said they would find extremely useful. Rob Duncan, from Linkham Scientific Instruments says: \u201cWe invested in a new mill-turn machine early in 2014, and it\u2019s already reducing cycle times. But using Edgecam\u2019s new Waveform toolpath generation for turning, will make an even bigger difference.
\n\u201cWe see Edgecam as a vital tool…we look at the latest enhancements and use them to get the very best from our considerable machine tool investment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
