India's Godrej Tooling Division Selects Delcam PowerMILL
 BIRMINGHAM,
UK, Nov 3, 2008 - India’s largest commercial toolmaker, the Tooling Division
of the Godrej Group, has selected Delcam’s PowerMILL as its preferred CAM
system. With more than 60 years’ experience in the design, machining and
inspection of precision tools, the Tooling Division at Godrej is also one of
the country’s most sophisticated manufacturers. To maintain its competitive
position, the Division has invested in the latest technology, equipping
itself with extensive CAD-CAM facilities and advanced CNC machines. Quality
is maintained through stringent checks and controls at all stages.
Ravi Singh, Senior Manager - CAD-CAM in Godrej Tooling
Division, India
The Godrej Group is one of the largest privately-held industrial
corporations in India. The organization has ten major business divisions,
which manufacture and market a wide range of industrial and consumer
products.
The Tooling Division caters to the varied tooling needs of all these
industries but has a pronounced emphasis on the automotive industry. It
concentrates mainly on plastic moulds, die-casting dies, sheet-metal dies,
progressive tools and lamination dies, mainly made from tungsten-carbide and
high-strength steels. The Division is also engaged in designing and
manufacturing special-purpose machines and precision-machined components for
the engineering industries.
The introduction of PowerMILL has enabled Godrej to reduce programming
times by between 40% and 50% when compared to the CAM packages that were
used previously. “Delcam’s PowerMILL has maximized the productivity of our
new machines and thus has increased the rate of return on our investment.
After comparing the results with our previous systems, Delcam’s software has
not only improved our programming efficiency but has also improved our
machining productivity,” said Ravi Singh, Senior Manager – CAD-CAM in the
Tooling Division. “These benefits have come without any compromise on the
mould finish, the geometric accuracy or the visual quality of our products.”
“A good CADCAM system also requires the right backup and support,” added
Mr. Singh. “The real secret to Delcam’s success is its support. The staff at
Delcam India have always responded quickly and been very helpful. They have
put in a lot of effort to support us in all kinds of ways.”
“The increased use of more complex machining techniques has made it
essential for Godrej and Delcam to work together closely. In today’s global
competitive scenario, it is imperative that not only the quality but also
the cost and delivery should be addressed with equal vigour,” said Mr.
Singh. “We have become Delcam’s largest customer in the Mumbai region. Being
a prominent user of Delcam, we are able to achieve various improvements
which suit typical toolroom needs.”
“Godrej is extending its long-term relationship with Delcam. After
experiencing the quality of software and support provided by Delcam, we have
increased steadily the number of PowerMILL seats. In addition to that, we
are looking to further enhance our systems by evaluating software such as
Delcam Electrode, for easy and flexible electrode manufacture, and
FeatureCAM, for quicker and more-automated programming of our 2D parts,” Mr.
Singh concluded.
