Case Study: Ingersoll Cutting Tools achieves collision-free machining with Vericut

Ingersoll Cutting Tools - Customer Case Study

Ingersoll Cutting Tools, a manufacturer of specialized milling and drilling tools, faced the challenge of producing a high volume of custom, small-batch orders (as low as 1-3 units) without the time or cost of scrapping parts or causing machine collisions during trial runs. To achieve this perfection in production and maintain its competitive edge, the company turned to the NC simulation software VERICUT from vendor CGTech.

The solution involved integrating VERICUT as a critical checkpoint in their digital process chain to simulate and verify all NC programs after post-processing. This allowed Ingersoll to identify and correct errors virtually before any physical machining began. The implementation of VERICUT ensured that programs ran collision-free on the first try, eliminating costly crashes on valuable machinery, preventing rejected parts, and saving significant time by removing the need for physical try-outs. This made VERICUT an indispensable part of their reliable and efficient manufacturing process.
