Trasil: Maximize Asset Utilization, Cut CapEx on Complex Machining
Sinumerik's Trasil function boosts asset utilization by enabling complex external surface machining, like mathematically challenging conical spiral grooves, on both lathes and milling machines. This high-level, shop-floor programming bypasses CAD/CAM for intricate geometries, efficiently optimizing throughput and reducing the need for new capital expenditure on specialized equipment.
“We see this directly impacts the P&L by extending the life and capability of existing machinery, potentially deferring capital investments by millions of dollars over the next 3-5 years while increasing operational flexibility.”
