With the complete CAM solution hyperMILL
“Easier to manufacture”
A strong duo in Vorarlberg: The expert in injection mold construction & its software service partner. Werkzeugbau LOACKER & WESTCAM have been working together successfully for over 20 years. The basis of their success: hyperMILL – the end-to-end CAM solution for tool & mold making.
High performance with high-end service
For over 45 years, Werkzeugbau Loacker, based in Weiler/Vorarlberg, has stood for the highest quality in injection mold construction. Thanks to its many years of industry expertise, the company went one step further and also made a name for itself in toolmaking. Forming tools and punching tools are also manufactured in Weiler. The company is also a strong performer when it comes to contract manufacturing and repairs.
For over 20 years now, the flagship company has been a partner of WESTCAM, which has been offering exactly what Managing Director Bernd Loacker swears by for his own customers at the Götzis site for 28 years: support and regional care. No ifs and buts. Spontaneous, uncomplicated and solution-oriented.
„Mit WESTCAM haben wir einen starken Partner, der uns bei der Herausforderung Fertigungsdigitalisierung unterstützt. Wir schätzen die regionale Betreuung. Wenn wir Fragen haben, kommt jemand zu uns ins Haus oder wir treffen uns unkompliziert in der Filiale in Götzis. Bei WESTCAM fühlen wir uns gut aufgehoben und schätzen die konstruktiven Gespräche, die uns gemeinsam weiterbringen.”
The central CAD/CAM software for all manufacturing process steps
Other quality suppliers have already discovered the advantages of precision manufacturing. From the aerospace and medical technology sectors to the automotive industry, these are being used to increase quality and efficiency. With the right CAM software, it is possible to exploit the full potential of state-of-the-art CNC machine tools. In the case of Loacker, they rely on hyperMILL. And they have been delighted with it – for over two decades!
Loacker covers almost all manufacturing technologies from 2.5D, 3D, 5X, HSC/HPC/HFC milling, grinding, wire and die-sinking EDM. hyperMILL is the central complete solution for all process steps along the entire value chain.
„Der Werkzeug- & Formenbau befindet sich technologisch auf einem sehr hohen Niveau. Um den hohen Qualitätsanforderungen und dem Wettbewerbsdruck gerecht zu werden, bedarf es einer High-End CAM-Komplettlösung für die unterschiedlichsten Fertigungstechnologien.”
Where is the journey going?
Ready for MES?
With Hummingbird-MES, hyperMILL‘s sister product, production can seamlessly dock onto existing hyperMILL datathat has been built up over decades. MES stands for Manufacturing Execution Systemand enables the most efficient production control possible. WESTCAM will also be at Loacker Werkzeugbau’s side as a regional contact for this future topic.
„Als 7-köpfiges Team sind wir sehr agil in der Projektbearbeitung. Für mich als Unternehmer und Kaufmann wird ein Dashboard zur digitalen Produktionsplanung und -steuerung immer wichtiger. Gerade im Werkzeug- und Formenbau sprechen wir von Losgröße 1 Stück. Um unsere Agilität zu erhalten, sind Transparenz und agile Steuerung auch für uns sehr wichtig. Ein cleveres MES kann uns dabei sicher helfen – wir prüfen das gerade.”
