Digital twin optimises production at Hanomag
Less downtime. More precise processes. Greater efficiency.
Precision and efficiency in mass production
The Hanomag Contract Hardening Group has been one of the leading companies in industrial heat treatment for over 30 years. With twelve sites and state-of-the-art plant technology, Hanomag optimises production processes to ensure maximum precision and cost-effectiveness.
To further reduce production times and improve processes, Hanomag Aluminium Solutions relies on NX CAM and the digital twin (VNCK).
The project
Less running-in time, greater productivity
Machine downtime is one of the biggest cost factors in production. The aim of the project was to drastically reduce set-up times, make NC programmes more efficient and identify sources of error at an early stage through realistic simulations.
Process
Customer success stories: individual phases
- Reduce run-in times and minimise machine downtime
- Optimising programme workflows for more efficient processes
- Creating NC programmes with machine simulation to prevent errors
Conclusion
Customer Benefits: Outlook
- Optimisation of existing programmes and test runs carried out directly at the PC workstation – rather than on the machine
- Automation of processes in NX CAM through automatic tool measurement and tool compensation
- Visualisation, simulation and collision avoidance thanks to genuine NC code and cycle simulation
- Savings of approximately €11,000 on each new component launch
„Our investment in Siemens NX CAM and the VNCK digital twin paid for itself in less than a year, thanks to the accuracy and simulation capabilities it offers.“
