The ESPRIT CAM revolution supports technical growth for Indian manufacturing
In step with the revolutionary launch of ESPRIT® 2014 cloud-enabled CAM software, DP Technology Corp. continues to change the face of manufacturing in India, where it collaborates with other manufacturing industry leaders and empowers customers to machine complex parts more efficiently than ever before.
Partnerships newly forged on DP’s Indian front include a signed deal with Siemens whereby ESPRIT will be the only CAM software featured in the CNC-control manufacturer’s Bangalore-based technical center.
“We will be programming some complex parts, as well as conducting seminars and training,” said Vikash Singh, business development manager for DP Technology India. Esprit will be involved with all Indian machine manufacturers like LMW, Ace, BFW to develop some new functions and technologies for them to manufacturer complex parts and make their machines enter a different level.
In addition to significant upgrades in the areas of shop-floor collaboration, automation, tooling, overall productivity and simulation, CNC programmers are using the Machining Cloud Connection in ESPRIT 2014 to access current and comprehensive tooling data.This revolutionary new capability harnesses the power and accessibility of cloud computing to eliminate the hassle of searching through Web sites and printed catalogues to find ideal tooling.
DP Technology has seen notable growth in India’s medical sector, as manufacturers such as Gujarat and Pune, both of which employ complex machine tools to produce complicated, high-quality medical parts, are counted among ESPRIT users. Customers have developed some extremely difficult parts like bone screws, hip joints, knee joints with minimum cycle time.
Likewise, Chennai-based Bay-forge, an open die-forging company that supports the energy industry, has reported an overall improvement in production since the adoption of ESPRIT. Having conducted research on CAM software, Bay-forge implemented ESPRIT after hearing, by word of mouth, that the robust software is especially suited for high-end machines and products.
“There was a significant improvement in the production line after they started programing in ESPRIT, before which they programmed manually,” said Mr. Francis T Raja, assistant manager at Bay-forge. Among the functionalities built into ESPRIT, its automation capabilities and the ESPRIT KnowledgeBase ™ are two that have proved particularly time-saving and lucrative for Bay-forge.
A global provider of products that support the growing demand for innovative energy solutions, the company strives to be ahead of the game in customer service as it produces parts like shafts, gear blanks, nozzles and more. Keeping its steep competition in mind, Bay-forge has embraced technologies, such as ESPRIT, that help it to streamline processes and increase efficiency.
“We are extremely happy with the kind of support and training ESPRIT has provided to us,” said Mr. Julian, M.D at Bay-forge. “Whenever we asked, the ESPRIT team was there to help our engineers, and I would like to maintain this relationship as we continue to explore the capabilities of ESPRIT. ”
ESPRIT 2014 cloud-enabled CAM simplifies the selection of cutting tools by offering a list of recommended tools based on machining features and sequences. Using the MachingCloud Connection, ESPRIT programmers are able to perform more accurate simulation with 3D models of tool components and assemblies downloaded from the cloud.
Likewise, Mr. Singh says, new automation, tooling, simulation and collaboration upgrades — as well as a host of additional enhancements that improve overall productivity by making the programming process quicker, easier and more efficient — set ESPRIT 2014 apart from both previous editions and its competitors.
