Case Study: Plasson achieves reliable, collision-free mold tool machining with VERICUT

Multi-National OEM Relies on VERICUT For Mold Tool Machining

Plasson, a multinational manufacturer of flow solutions and livestock equipment systems headquartered in Israel, faced a challenge in ensuring the reliability of its CNC machining programs for expensive mold tools. After discovering discrepancies between their CAM software simulations and the actual G-code, they needed a solution to prevent costly collisions, tool damage, and scrap. The company turned to Vericut software for its simulation, verification, and optimization capabilities to protect their valuable machine tools and components.

The solution implemented was the comprehensive use of Vericut, including its Verification, CNC Machine Simulation, Multi-Axis, and AUTO-DIFF modules. This provided Plasson with the certainty that programs would run smoothly without collision and allowed them to identify and fix programming errors before machining. The results have been significant; Vericut has protected numerous mold tools from damage for over two decades of use, ensured part accuracy, and reduced the time required to prepare and verify NC tool paths, securing their in-house machining operations.
