Digital twin optimises production at Hanomag
Less downtime. More precise processes. Greater efficiency.
Precision and efficiency in series production
The Hanomag Lohnhärterei Group has been one of the leading companies in industrial heat treatment for over 30 years. With twelve locations and state-of-the-art plant technology, Hanomag optimises production processes for maximum precision and efficiency.
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, more productivity
Machine downtime is one of the biggest cost factors in production. The aim of the project was to drastically reduce run-in times, make NC programmes more efficient and identify sources of error at an early stage using realistic simulations.
Process
Customer successes individual phases
- Shorten run-in times and minimise machine downtime
- Optimise program sequences for more efficient processes
- Create NC programmes with machine simulation to avoid errors
Conclusion
Customer benefit Outlook
- Optimisation of existing programs and test runs directly at the PC workstation - instead of the machine
- Automation of processes in NX CAM through automatic tool measurement and tool correction
- Visualisation, simulation and collision avoidance thanks to real NC code and cycle simulation
- Savings of approx. €11,000 for each new component start-up
“The investment in Siemens NX CAM and the VNCK digital twin has paid for itself in less than a year thanks to the accuracy and simulation options.”
