Case Study: Precision Manufacturing Solutions achieves simultaneous dual-toolhead machining with Mastercam Mill-Turn

Precision Manufacturing Solutions - Customer Case Study

Precision Manufacturing Solutions, a manufacturer for the aerospace and medical industries, faced a challenge with their Mazak Integrex machine's dual toolheads. The toolpaths for each head operated separately, and one would cancel out the other, preventing simultaneous machining. They collaborated with their Mastercam reseller and the vendor, Mastercam, using its Mill-Turn product to develop a solution.

Mastercam developed a revolutionary new post, the Mazak Mark III, from the ground up. This solution seamlessly incorporated both toolheads to allow for simultaneous cutting operations, which significantly improved manufacturing productivity by reducing set-up time. The post is also adaptable for any machine on the same platform. The customer reported saving a day or two when programming jobs using the new Mastercam Mill-Turn post.
