SPEED PROBLEMS
I need programs fast, your machines are idling.
I need quick cycle time calculations, customers are waiting.
My machines are often used for trials, wasting many machine hours
I want parts to be quickly loaded on any machine irrespective of their CNC systems.
ACCURACY PROBLEMS
My job quotations are always higher than my competitor’s
I want to ensure shortest tool paths automatically
I wish to calculate cycle times accurately to quote realistically.
I wish to avoid trial and error, and run programs first time right.
SAFETY PROBLEMS
I have frequent tool collisions due to poor programs
I wish to avoid tool gouging in to the part
I have high part rejections due to poor tool and FS selection
I wish to avoid trial and error in tool selection
SKILL PROBLEMS
I am too dependant on operators or a part-time programmer
I wish to enhance process planning skills rather than programming skills
I wish to upgrade in-house skills without learning G/M codes
I wish to promote systematic approach to cycle time reduction
STANDARDIZATION PROBLEMS
I wish to have common programs for similar machines
I wish to use CAD files directly to program, to save time and avoid errors
I wish to standardize tool and cutting parameter selection
I wish to document my processes for ISO compliance and repeat runs
