Ribo program Trumpf punches and lasers up to 70% faster with JETCAM
Summary
Initially we decided it was cheaper to continue using it rather than replace it but over time it became clear that we could make further savings and see greater throughput.” The company considered software offered by the machine vendor, but quickly discounted it due to cost and feedback from other users. As a result they have seen regular and significant enhancements in various areas of the software, with Klingebiel noting that several have delivered further savings; “Some years back JETCAM included remnant sheet management. I’ve found it to be almost 100% accurate, with any minor tooling issues highlighted and easy to rectify.” Ribo wanted to improve the automation of CAD import and ordering of components, so purchased a software product from a third party vendor. Most calls are ‘how do I do this’, and I can always reach someone and get a quick response.” Ribo has been using JETCAM Expert since 2001 to drive a variety of Trumpf punch and laser machines without issues, and Klingebiel is confident that the software will continue to deliver benefits, whatever technologies they invest in. As a business we have to continually improve our manufacturing processes to ensure that we remain competitive while delivering the highest quality product, and JETCAM is instrumental in helping us to achieve this.”
