The company Lupal in Waiblingen demonstrates the enormous opportunities that can be achieved here solely through optimizations on the machine tool. Together with UTTec, they have focused on auxiliary times and thus achieved a cycle time reduction of almost ten percent. In doing so, no drive parameters were changed; only the NC program, which is approved for the machine by the machine and control manufacturer, was optimized. <\/em><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Global competition and the increasing shortage of skilled workers are increasing cost pressure and resource efficiency in manufacturing companies. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important to continuously analyze and optimize processes. Usually, the focus of such considerations is on technical ancillary costs. There are various options for reducing these ancillary times. This starts with optimal workpiece clamping devices, which include loading and unloading the workpiece, and ranges from parallel setup to automation. However, automation can be very cost-intensive depending on the complexity of the machine tool, especially if, like the company Lupal in Waiblingen, you predominantly manufacture with multi-spindle machining centers. <br \/>However, another way to reduce non-productive times is also through optimization via the NC control. The company UTTec in Winnenden therefore began analyzing the main and non-productive times of the manufacturing process at Lupal on a 4-spindle machining center BA W04-42 from SW with the Siemens Solution Line. The result was that through optimization, a cycle time reduction of seven percent is possible solely in the non-productive times. Aluminum components are manufactured in large series on this machining center in a two-shift operation. Manufacturing processes include milling (roughing and finishing), drilling, and thread cutting.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, especially for such large batch sizes, machinery manufacturers also offer an agreed-upon output for the manufacturing system. This is an offer that proves too costly for Michael Lichtenberg, managing director of Lupal: \u201eFor a company our size, purchasing cycle times doesn't pay off, because such optimization also includes corresponding fixtures and tool design. However, we build the fixtures ourselves and also design the processes. It may be that we are not the great specialists in this, but we've managed well with it so far.\u201c So far, because the potential analysis by UTTec revealed that a seven percent reduction in cycle time is possible through optimization methods.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Unnecessary movements and waiting times eliminated<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p>The process and positioning of tools from the tool changer were optimized. Additionally, UTTec adjusted various functions in individual machining sequences, including through the use of CAM software Edgecam. Furthermore, the NC program was optimized. Subsequently, the changes were tested using simulation programs, and fine-tuning was carried out on-site. For Uwe Schr\u00f6ter, Managing Director of UTTec, such measures offer enormous potential and present no risk to the user: \u201eThe machine manufacturers deliver the machines as the customers wish. However, these machines have much higher performance reserves, allowing for changes in travel, speeds, etc. This does not come at the expense of longevity or manufacturer\u2019s warranty, as we do not change drive parameters but use the standard NC program released by the machine and control manufacturers. Therefore, it would also be possible for us to optimize cycle times. In the specific case of Lupal, however, it was found that the SW machining center is equipped with an NCU (Numerical Control Unit). This is the highest expansion stage that Siemens offers in the Solution Line. Further optimization via the NCU was therefore not possible. In contrast, the machine already had tool monitoring integrated. However, this could also be optimized. Independently, UTTec also offers tool monitoring for machines that measure forces at the spindle. In a further expansion stage, this includes vibration sensors with temperature measurements on the spindle. This also allows the vibration profile to be recorded over the entire operating time. In parallel, the system includes 3D collision monitoring.<\/p><p>Now, superfluous movements and waiting times of the machine tool constitute a significant part of the manufacturing process. UTTec in Waiblingen seems to have successfully eliminated this. However, for Michael Lichtenberg, this offer is not quite enough: \u201eWe implemented the process ourselves on this machining center. Tool changes, positioning, etc., all of that previously happened sequentially for us. Now, after the optimization by UTTec, it happens in parallel and absolutely problem-free. Therefore, we would welcome it if UTTec offered the complete package, from the machine and tools to the entire design, including cycle time definition, because that's how such an optimization becomes financially viable for companies of our size.\u201c This wish seems understandable, as with batch sizes of up to 800,000 pieces per year and components manufactured year-round, fractions of a second count.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Lupal GmbH in the Spotlight<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company is a subsidiary of Andreas Lupold Hydrotechnik GmbH in V\u00f6hringen, was founded in 2006, and specializes in multi-sided machining of predominantly brass and aluminum.
