NRL & Associates Inc.
Stevensville, MD USA |
Customer Challenge |
NRL & Associates use CAMplete TruePath for advanced post processing and machine simulation for their 5-axis machines through Methods Machine Tools.
Their Yasda machines are equipped with large tool library & multi-pallet systems allowing effective project management. Small quantity orders require them to produce parts quickly with quick change over time. They need to reduce cycle time on each project without stopping production. |
Project Goals |
NRL & Associates has deadlines to meet and wants to complete these projects ahead of schedule by optimizing toolpath non-cutting motion, without adding any additional cost and production time.
|
Solution & Service |
Multiaxis has worked with NRL & Associates for many years and recommended using Autodesk's CAMplete TruePath to optimize each project offline without stopping production.
CAMplete TruePath provided a complete solution bridging the gap between the CAM system they were using and the machine tool on their floor. With the help of Multiaxis, new post processing path optimization logic was created in CAMplete TruePath to effectively reconfigure final programs to produce the fastest process, offline without changing original cutting conditions. With this new logic created by Multiaxis, they were able to reduce project cycle times as much as twenty percent on some projects. |
Business Outcome |
NRL & Associates has been trusting these software solutions through Multiaxis from the very beginning when they acquired their first simultaneous machine from Methods Machine Tools.
They see the value in the product and solutions provided by Multiaxis. By using Autodesk's CAMplete TruePath, they remain at the forefront in proposing solutions on time with high accuracy for each project. |
Conclusion |
NRL & Associates offers complete product development and specialize in ultra-precision machining, prototypes, welding, fabrication, mechanical & high-level assemblies to support each project..
They work with many types of metals, high tolerances and continue to use these software solutions. |
