Case Study: Schunk achieves maximum process reliability with Vericut

Schunk Ensures Maximum Process Reliability Through Nc Simulation With Vericut

SCHUNK, a global leader in gripping and clamping technology, sought to maximize process reliability and economic efficiency in its CNC machining operations. Their challenge was to eliminate costly programming errors, collisions, and machine downtime that occurred during the setup and testing of new parts. To address this, they implemented the Vericut simulation and optimization software from vendor Vericut to verify NC programs before they were run on physical machinery.

By using Vericut to create a virtual machine environment, SCHUNK could simulate and optimize the entire machining process with 100% accurate kinematics. The solution from Vericut completely eliminated collisions, significantly reduced setup and downtime, and gave machine operators more confidence. This allowed SCHUNK to run new parts faster and optimize NC programs offline, ensuring maximum process reliability and securing their competitive edge.
