Powertrain Machining

Powertrain Machining

With our solutions for powertrain machining automakers can easily plan complete powertrain manufacturing operations.

Define CNC tool paths and calculate machining cycle times for specific stages of operations. Using integrated G-code-driven machine tool simulation, identify and avoid potential collisions between parts, machines or fixtures. CNC work packages can even be delivered directly to machines.

This streamlined process chain helps reduce powertrain manufacturing setup times and increases product quality.

The need for more fuel-efficient cars is driving increasing adoption of lightweight materials, including downsizing engine parts wherever possible. This trend requires automakers to handle more complex machining and assembly processes during powertrain production than in the past.

To design for manufacturability, our integrated solutions ensure changes are immediately reflected in the design and manufacturing engineering stages. This ensures that production capacity, technical issues, logistics, tools and machine-specific limitations are all taken into account before starting powertrain production. To architect powertrain manufacturing plans a single environment for CAM, CMM Programming and Part Process Planning helps you to increase collaboration between different teams.

You can create more efficient CNC machining programs with our advanced programming capabilities for advanced machine tools to reduce machining time, eliminate errors, and improve part quality with optimized machining operations. Execute CMM inspection programming and simulation to validate inspection programs and ensure that dimensional and tolerance specifications are achieved quickly and efficiently in production. Using our manufacturing resource library helps you take full advantage of shop floor resources including machine tools, cutting tools, fixtures, and equipment.;

Deliver released plans to production with our solutions and connect the managed PLM environment for design and manufacturing planning directly to shop floor systems.
