Case Study: Ingersoll Cutting Tools improves CNC cycle times with VERICUT

Leading cutting tool provider Ingersoll uses VERICUT to improve its customers’ CNC programs

Ingersoll Cutting Tools, a provider of cutting tools and tooling solutions, sought to improve the machining processes and reduce cycle times for its diverse customer base. To offer this no-cost value-added service, their proposal engineering department utilized VERICUT, a CNC toolpath simulation software from CGTech.

Using VERICUT, Ingersoll programmers like Mike Gampetro analyze and optimize customer NC programs. The solution involves simulating toolpaths to validate changes, which often include reprogramming jobs and suggesting new tooling strategies. The measurable impact for customers is significant, with VERICUT helping Ingersoll consistently achieve cycle time reductions of at least 15%, and in some cases over 50%, leading to major cost savings and increased efficiency for machine shops.
