Three watchwords: secure, optimize, reduce.
Immediately rewarded by ultra-realistic machining simulation.
SPRING Technologies, vendor of solutions that enhance the productivity of NC machines, announces the signature of a new contract with ZODIAC SEATS France to implement NCSIMUL Machine 9 for machining simulation and NCSIMUL Player 9 to review and facilitate the sharing of simulations with all stakeholders in the NC process. The ZODIAC AEROSPACE
reference site for machining, located at Issoudun in central France, was looking for a means to secure its NC machine tools, optimize tool paths and, ultimately, reduce machining preparation times and the risks of collisions.
A WATCHWORD: OPTIMIZATION
Specialized in the field of aeronautics
since 1944, ZODIAC SEATS FRANCE, formerly SICMA AERO SEATS, is now a member of
the ZODIAC AEROSPACE group, and a world leader in the manufacturing of aircraft
seats.
The challenge facing the Issoudun site in
2013 was to optimize its tool paths and
increase their reliability, while continuing to support its existing CAM
solution: TopSolid’Cam. The task was made tougher as Zodiac Seats France was
introducing new NC machines, notably from the maker MICHEL PIOCH and 5-axis MAZAK
Vari-axis machines that would need to be secured.
Zodiac Seats France started to investigate the market in 2012
and, visiting the Industry show, found out about SPRING Technologies and its NCSIMUL
SOLUTIONS range. “We were really impressed by the ergonomics, user-friendliness and intuitive qualities of
NCSIMUL Machine and its viewer, NCSIMUL Player,” explains Frédéric Millet, head
of programming at Zodiac Seats France. “We did some severe testing and SPRING’s
machining simulation solution really delivered what we were looking for in both
functional and organizational terms. The clincher was the strong partnership
between SPRING and the NC machine maker MICHEL PIOCH, as well as the support
from the project team at SPRING.”
