Manufacturing Complex Part became Simple and Faster by Autodesk Manufacturing Solutions

Manufacturing Complex Part became Simple and Faster by Autodesk Manufacturing Solutions

Customer challenge

Ordnance Factory Kanpur (OFK) is one of the 41 Ordnance factories under the aegis of Ordnance Factory Board (OFB), Kolkata. The Indian Ordnance Factories is the oldest and largest industrial setup which functions under the Department of Defense, Production of the Ministry of Defense. The ordnance factories form an integrated base for indigenous production of defense hardware and equipment, with the primary objective of self-reliance in equipping the armed forces with state of the art battlefield equipments. The Customer was in search of a reliable software solution for their complete manufacturing needs (Milling, Turning and TurnMill) for their new multi-axis Milling and Turnmill Machines. They were comparing the leading manufacturing software solutions including MasterCam, SolidCam, Nx along with Autodesk PowerMill and FeatureCAM.

Project goals

Primary Project Goals identified were as follows: 1) Solution deployed is optimized for business workflows and strategies for multi-axis machining. 2) Solution deployed is reliable and uninterrupted by technical support required. 3) Solution deployed automates the complete manufacturing process. 4) Solution deployed provides a significant reduction in machining and programming cycle times.

Solution

After an initial discussion with the ORDNANCE FACTORY KANPUR technical team, the Acuity Team understood the complexity of their parts and their in-house machining capabilities. Acuity then conducted a solution demo which explained the possibilities of integrating the Autodesk Manufacturing Solutions to get the maximum return from their machines. The optimized programming strategy deployed ensures the optimum usage of machines which increases the machine and tool life significantly. Acuity created the customized posts for their new machines from scratch, and completed the post-processor prove out and product training successfully for their Turnmill and 5-axis machines. Finally, Acuity implemented a setup sheet with distribution across the design and manufacturing teams which helped them to understand the complete process across their cross-functional teams.

Business outcome

Autodesk FeatureCAM is now the complete solution for OFK's Turnmill Machining Centers. The new innovative solution met all the machining requirements with their Turnmill machines with the purchase of 3 seats of Autodesk FeatureCAM. OFK also found better usage of PowerMIll with their 5-Axis Milling machines and purchased 2 seats of PowerMill Ultimate with customized Post Processors. Finally, along with these CAM software solutions, OFK purchased 3 seats of Autodesk PowerShape for their Manufacturing Design purposes. The complete solution helps to track new design changes made in collaboration with multiple workers regardless of location. Autodesk PowerMill works as a comprehensive milling solution for OFK's 5-axis machines and FeatureCAM helps significantly add value to their Turnmill machining components by reducing the cycle time as compared to other competitive solutions available.

Conclusion

Autodesk FeatureCAM is the first CAM software solution OFK has installed to their newly purchased Kovosvit Mas Turnmill Machining Center, and it fulfilled all of their machining requirements with the appropriate solutions and services provided by the Acuity Team. Autodesk PowerMill is also one of the user-friendly CAM software solutions deployed for OFK's 3-axis and 5-Axis Machining Centers to get better business outcomes by reducing the total cycle time required and enabling better surface finishing. The Acuity Engineering team is filled with experts who are always ready to understand customer issues facing customers and are always ready to identify and provide better solutions for addressing problems during the design to manufacturing process. The software solutions deployed allow users to design faster, manage projects, test and simulate as well as machine faster than ever which helps to improve overall productivity and accelerate the project delivery time.
