Case Study: Liebherr achieves faster CAM programming and shorter machining setup times with TopSolid'Cam from TopSolid

Liebherr improved its productivity with TopSolid'Cam

The customer, Liebherr, manufactures large roller bearings, drive components, and cranes. They faced a significant challenge with lengthy and error-prone running-in times for new NC programs on their complex machinery, a process that used to take days and was hampered by an outdated 2D programming system.

The vendor, TopSolid, implemented its TopSolid'Cam software alongside custom postprocessors developed by partner AdeQuate Solutions. This solution provided a universal 3D CAM system that enabled reliable simulation, optimized multi-spindle machining, and integration with tool management and PDM systems. The results were drastically shortened running-in times, with reductions of 60-80% for complex components, more efficient programming, and overall greater manufacturing security and productivity for Liebherr.
