Digital Twin: The Doorway to Smart Manufacturing

In order to help customers solve machining challenges, Kennametal utilizes an innovative end-to-end solution-driven approach called, “Digital Twin”.

Digital Twin is a blueprint for smart machining.

A “digital twin” is a virtual model that is designed to represent a physical object or product accurately and precisely in this case. It can be tested and validated before it is put into production and into the market. A digital twin allows engineers and process planners to identify any process failures before the part goes into actual production.

Complex multi-axis machines require a deep knowledge and understanding of fixtures, cutting tools and process, as well as programming.

Kennametal’s digital twin solution helps customers visualize the complete machining operation in a virtual setting with the right process parameters so that issues or adjustments can be addressed in the planning stages as opposed to later, potentially halting operations. Digital twin replicas also help translate machining results to performance by allowing for a precise estimation of chipping loss, cycle time and executable NC codes. Bottom line, better decisions are made on the shop floor.

With Kennametal and its blueprint for smart machining, customers can create custom tool path simulations and access the latest CNC programs for metal cutting tools and machining strategies, while continuing to deliver on proven machining and manufacturing solutions.

Kennametal can help take your manufacturing to the next level.
