Part and component manufacturing with two CNC machines in an open machine shop.

Industrial Machinery Digital Thread

Component Manufacturing

Modern machine shops equipped with the right digital tools design and deliver highly sophisticated parts and components quickly and efficiently. The right combination of software solutions ensures parts manufacturers meet customer requirements, quality targets and sustainability objectives.

Speed up machine shop processes with digitalization

Parts manufacturers are tasked with designing and producing sustainable, complex, high-quality parts. At the same time, shrinking lot sizes and fierce competition make it more challenging than ever to turn a profit. Successful machine shops use connected digital tools, applications and processes to optimize collaboration and automate workflows.

Boost operations with component manufacturing solutions

It's time for machine shops to embrace digital tools that connect entire component production operations, cut data transfers and duplication, improve collaboration and automate processes.

30%

Faster CNC programming time

Produce parts more quickly with software features that automate component design and CAM programming, significantly reducing the number of different tools required to make them. (Grob)

70%

Higher efficiency and quality

Improve production efficiency with automatic data transfers between CAD and CAM, then use integrated simulation and verification to reduce potential programming errors. (ASM Pacific Technology)

80%

Reduce equipment downtime

Automate inspection programming capabilities to decrease downtimes and directly feed inspection data back into the digital twin model for visualization and analysis. (Mill)

Select...

Optimize machine processes with automation by reusing proven project data to program numerical controls. Automated processes deliver consistent results, reduce energy consumption and improve overall quality.

  • Use multi-machine systems and managed motion controls to generate parts faster
  • Gain real-time feedback from process-based design applications
  • Simulate entire component production systems to virtually commission and maximize machine productivity

Component manufacturers can achieve:

96%

Faster part delivery

Calculate more accurate manufacturing times with advanced planning and scheduling software that displays machine availability. (Proform)

25%

Shorter cycle times

Optimize machine toolpaths to include fewer cutting passes, reducing machining cycles and extending tool life. (W.A. Pfeiffer)

90%

Reduced lead time

Create customized, highly complex parts that meet part production demand in the moment with additive manufacturing technology. (Schubert Additive Solutions)
