When asked how long it takes to manufacture it, they said around 12 minutes, but stated its manufacturing consists of only 10% roughing. They asked SolidCAM for a test cut of a small titanium part they machine on these machines. When reviewing the machines, the milling machines were older as they had stated, but it was explained to them that they can use the external memory card which exists in the machines instead of using the machines’ memory. We again discussed our iMachining technology, but the team claimed their milling machines are too old and don’t have enough memory for such technology, even if we were able to save milling time. One of their requirements for purchasing was that we supply a solution for simultaneous synchronizing of 2 and 3 turrets. They were very impressed with what they saw and asked that we set a meeting at their factory to discuss the Mill-Turn module for their new milling centers and renewing their subscription contract.Ī meeting was held to discuss purchasing the Mill-Turn module for their new Nakamura and Mori Seiki with 2-3 turrets, 2 spindles. The owners of AR-EL have had interest in iMachining for a long time and wanted to try it out and use it in their factory, but they procrastinated, giving different claims, such as that their milling operations are simple, or that they are using the best tools, so no need to improve and so on.Īt our recent Technology tradeshow, the AR-EL team visited our booth and watched the live iMachining cutting that took place at the booth. Most of their machining is based on turning and complementary milling. Mass production is common for each part and any savings in machining of a part can be extremely substantial.
Most of the parts they manufacture are simple, small and accurate. The company serves multiple strategic industries, such as dental, medical, aerospace, irrigation, Hi-Tech and more.ĪR-EL has been working with 3 SolidCAM stations for about 20 years, mostly for basic milling but also for turning and for simple mill-turn with XZC kinematics. AR-EL is a big machine shop that supplies Swiss-Type machining, precision turning and milling of components & assemblies in high volume production. iMachining 3D voor prismatische onderdelen.IMachining savings of 45 seconds made the difference needed for an existing customer to ultimately increase profit margins
