Case Study: Jemco reduces five-axis crashes with VERICUT machine simulation software

Jemco - Customer Case Study

Jemco Components and Fabrication Inc., a family-owned contract manufacturer in the Seattle area, faced a significant challenge with its growing five-axis machining operations. The company experienced an alarming number of minor crashes, which risked damaging expensive machine tools and disrupting deliveries to its key aerospace, military, medical, and energy industry customers. To move beyond the risky "push the button and pray" method of program prove-outs, they sought a solution and identified Vericut as the only software offering true G-code simulation.

By implementing Vericut's machine simulation software, Jemco was able to accurately model every aspect of the machining process to identify collisions, gouges, and uncut areas virtually. This has eliminated the physical crashes that were previously common, a significant achievement given the shop's high number of daily setups for small-batch production. The Vericut solution has provided the programming team with greater confidence, answered critical safety questions, and has been strongly tied to the company's new lack of machine crashes.
