The demonstration of WIDIA tools took place in the plant of MILCO Ltd. only a week ago. DTL Trading Ltd. – authorized representative of WIDIA for the Bulgarian market, MILCO Ltd and RAPID PROGRESS LTD were in charge for the organization of the event. The Open Doors Day consisted of two main parts: presentation of the upgraded and new tools by the expert representatives of WIDIA for Bulgaria and Europe. Following the presentations was the demonstration of some of the CNC machines in the plant of MILCO Ltd., the postprocessors for which were generated with ESPRIT CAD/CAM.

RAPID PROGRESS LTD. had a significant role in the demonstration by performing 5-axis and 3-axis turning demo on LITZ LU800 and FIRST V43 with HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 controllers, and last but not least, 2½ – milling of parts on GOODWAY CNC machines with FANUC controllers. Furthermore, the experts team of RAPID PROGRESS LTD. took the opportunity to demonstrate the work process of the software for CNC monitoring – CIMCO MDC-Max, for the purpose of which real data produced by the CNC machines of MILCO connected in a Ethernet network, were used successfully. The real simulation in ESPRIT CAD/CAM of the operations taking place in front of the visitors was also a crucial part of the demonstration since visual analysis is of high importance for the efficiency of the work process and the quality of the end result. A valuable experience for the visitors of the Open Doors Day at MILCO Ltd. was the opportunity to observe the process of three-dimensional printing of parts which was executed on the 3D printer CubePro, developed by 3D systems – a pioneer in the three-dimensional printing technology.

Hydraulic Elements and Systems Yambol, or for short, HES Yambol, is a 100% privately owned company, founded in 1968 in Yambol, Bulgaria on the area of 91 016 m².The 40-year-long experience of the company is significant prerequisite for the quality and precision of the production that the company offers to the market. The products manufactured by HES Yambol vary widely by type and size: starting from precise cylinders for robots to unique for their size and work load cylinders for building machines and ships.

HES Yambol lays the beginning of its business relationship with RAPID PROGRESS LTD. back in the year of 2012, when they bought Kompas-3D and Kompas-Graphic. In the beginning of 2015, however, this partnership was re-established with the upgrade of the two software products, that the company has been working with from the year of 2012 until present, to their latest versions – Kompas-3D v15 and Kompas-Graphic v15. A business decision like the one made by HES says a lot about the quality of a product, its return on investment and the maintenance and service provided by the software reseller.

Bunay, founded in 1968 in the town of Panagyurishte, Bulgaria, used to be a workshop for plastics processing as part of a factory in the same town. Its main activity was the production of plastic parts for the needs of the defensive industry. Since 1999 onwards, however, Bunay JSC is a private company, placed on the area of 32 000 m². The company is a producer of parts made of plastics, bakelite and rubber, and 70% of its total production is being exported to EU, USA, Brazil, and Turkey. Bunay JSC is equipped with 40 machines by machine manufacturers such as Battenfeld, Engel, Toshiba, Italtech, Welltech, and others. The big number of machinery equipment is the reason why the company needed an effective monitoring system, which could help the management with the task of improving the work process thru possibly the highest level of optimization of all machines that Bunay JSC has already invested in. RAPID PROGRESS LTD. is the company that responded successfully to this need by providing Bunay with monitoring software by CIMCO in the beginning of 2015.
