Case Study: Reitz achieves collision-free granite machining with Vericut

Measurement Cycles Carved in Stone with Precision

Reitz, a manufacturer of precision granite machine components, faced the challenge of preventing costly tool collisions and machine damage during the machining of massive, irregularly surfaced granite blocks. To ensure process-reliable production and reduce the workload for operators, they implemented the Vericut simulation software from CGTech.

The solution involved using Vericut to create a digital twin for simulating and verifying all NC programs before execution. This eliminated manual setup, detected errors in advance, and allowed operators to run long processes confidently. The results for Reitz include the complete elimination of collisions and tool breakage due to programming errors, valuable time savings, and a much more relaxed and efficient workforce. Vericut proved capable of safely handling their unique granite machining requirements.
