Case Study: B/E Aerospace (UK) Ltd achieves 50% faster programming with JETCAM Expert Premium

B/E Aerospace (UK) Ltd - Customer Case Study

B/E Aerospace (UK) Ltd, a leading manufacturer of aircraft cabin interiors, faced the challenge of replacing its two aging Trumpf turret punch presses. The company required a solution that would work with a new machine, avoid a significant tooling replacement cost, and streamline its fabrication processes. They engaged the vendor, JETCAM International, through its UK distributor Press and Shear, for advice and to utilize its JETCAM Expert Premium software.

The solution involved implementing an updated version of JETCAM Expert to drive a new Trumpf TruPunch 3000. JETCAM's distributor assisted with the transition, updating licenses, creating a new postprocessor, and migrating tooling into an optimized database. This allowed for the use of features like Single Component Automatic Processing (SCAP) and ‘tool teach’. As a result, B/E Aerospace reduced programming time by 50%, improved machine runtime, and has had virtually no support calls since the original system was installed decades ago.
