Productivity increase
CUSTOMER
ITP Aero, Spain. World leader in the aeronautical and industrial engine market, involved in all phases of the product life cycle.
Aim
To increase productivity by 20%
- OEE – above-market availability/performance/quality ratio.
- Reduction of non-cutting times (head/tool changes, tool/workpiece measurement, dry-runs at maximum speed G0, chuck acceleration/braking…).
Solution
Higher acceleration and speed thanks to the dual-motor drive with high dynamics to reduce non-cutting times.
Development of a single spindle capable of turning and milling housings - B-axis.
Reduction of non-cutting times and savings of 5,000 hours/year in machine availability on each RV.

STATEMENT
"Overall we are very happy with the performance of the 6 VRs installed and with GMTK's service and proximity. We have been working together very closely and the joint research work has facilitated the optimisation of the non-cutting times. Compared to other solutions on the market, we are ahead in machine availability. As a sign of our confidence in GMTK, we have 6 VR multi-process vertical lathes in our plant."
