CutPro & ShopPro
CutPro
A partnership with Manufacturing Automation Laboratories, Inc. (MAL) CutPro is an advanced machining simulation software that can help manufacturers:
- Identify chatter free speed and depth of cuts which will dramatically increase material removal rates
while giving a good surface finish - Machine hardened steel and thermal resistant aerospace alloys at high material removal rates without
tool chipping and chatter - Recognize if a selected machine tool and complex cutter can deliver enough torque, power, and
stiffness to machine selected parts at the desired cutting conditions - Quickly identify weak fixtures and machining set ups and correct them
- And much, much more
Since 1986, Professor Y. Altintas has supervised the Manufacturing Automation Laboratory’s efforts to develop an embedded advanced machining science in the CutPro software. This package has been scientifically verified and its impact on productivity proven in major companies around the world. Over 25 engineers add new information and modules regarding machining processes to the software every few months.
ShopPro
ShopPro, also developed by MAL, is an easy to use, entry level software that can be utilized for testing and chatter vibration avoidance. ShopPro is a perfect tool for machine tool operators and production engineers because of its built-in guidance and its simple graphical user interface. Users of ShopPro will be able to naturally migrate to the more advanced CutPro as they build their technological sophistication while avoiding initial costly software, instrument, and training investments.
