Case Study: I-Cherng Refrigeration cuts programming time and boosts throughput with JETCAM Expert from JETCAM International

I-Cherng Refrigeration - Customer Case Study

I-Cherng Refrigeration, a Taiwanese manufacturer of heat exchangers, faced a significant challenge with the software supplied with their new Amada fiber laser. The provided software was not user-friendly, generated inefficient and lengthy NC code, and required extensive manual modification, taking over four hours per program and hindering the machine's productivity. This led them to contact their long-standing software vendor, JETCAM International, for a solution using their JETCAM Expert system.

JETCAM implemented a postprocessor for the Amada laser, upgrading the company to Expert v20. The solution included features like automatic technology tables, JET-Cut for fly-cutting, and JET-Optimizer for collision avoidance. This resulted in an 80% reduction in programming time, a 13.2% decrease in machine cycle time, and material yield improvements of 5-30%. The return on investment for the JETCAM upgrade was achieved in under four months.
