CimatronE Saves Cutter Costs for Leading US Mold Maker
Quality Tooling doubles production speed and saves costs with CimatronE
GIVAT SHMUEL, Israel, February 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
CimatronE, the integrated CAD/CAM tooling solution offered by Cimatron Limited
[http://www.cimatron.com ] (NASDAQ and TASE: CIMT), has helped streamline operations at
Kentucky-based Quality Tooling, one of the most reputable tooling and engineering
providers to the leading automotive and appliance OEMs and suppliers.
Quality Tooling became a Cimatron customer after looking for ways to maximize the
speed at which its machines operated. In many cases, several runs were required to
complete a project and costly cutters needed to be replaced often due to the multiple runs
and inconsistent feed rates and chip loads.
After a review of various CAD/CAM solutions on the market, Quality Tooling selected
CimatronE as its software of choice. Since the business switched to CimatronE, the speed
of production has more than doubled and cutters now last longer, resulting in significant
cost savings.
Said Brian Alvey, Quality Tooling's Vice President: "Making the investment in Cimatron
was a big move for us because we are a small company, but the investment was well worth it
and has probably been one of the best we ever made. Whenever you go looking at what you
are gaining, that investment is very minor because you will save thousands of dollars just
in cutters alone."
"Cimatron keeps a fairly constant chip load and feed rate. Therefore, it maintains
cutter sharpness. Parts are produced quicker because you don't have to go back and rerun
things. If you cut one job in Cimatron, you may use two cutters. If you cut that same job
with one of the lower-end software you may use eight cutters. That translates into major
savings."
CimatronE has also provided Quality Tooling with a closed loop system to streamline
the electrode process. Using the electrode templates saves programming time, and the
simulation capabilities eliminate the need for double setups and the risk of electrodes
hitting parts. If a change is made to the NC file, it automatically updates the
electrodes, leaving less chance for error.
According to Alvey, the addition of CimatronE has brought in more repeat business, as
customers have noticed that delivery times have improved: "We have to compete with the
overseas market and anything we can do to make our products look better is important.
Cimatron has helped us tremendously."
