Why You Need CycleTime Estimating Software?
- The phrase "That should take us about .......... 3 minutes to machine." ... is
costing you money.
- Not calculating your machining cycletime, no matter what cost estimating software you are using,
is still
GUESSTIMATING ... and is still producing incorrect cost estimates that are costing you
money.
- KipwareCYC® is a real world cycletime estimating
package that will make an immediate, positive impact on your shop's bottom line.
- KipwareCYC® was developed in-the-trenches, on the shop
floor, in a metalworking shop by an actual
machinist.
- It was further honed by a Manufacturing Engineer, creating cycletime estimates in a high
volume, production manufacturing environment ... where profit was dependent on those estimates every day.
- Since 1990, our cycletime estimating technology along with our KipwareQTE® quoting and estimating software has been assisting
all size manufacturers not only win more work, but more profitable work!,
- Using easy to build and edit databases for machine specifications, material cutting
parameters and sawing parameters, KipwareCYC® allows you to quickly step through the workpiece machining
operations one by one.
- After selecting the Machine and Material from the database via a drop down menu and then selecting the main machining operations and sub
operations the user can also input other pertinent applicable data such as handling time,
work or tool diameter, flute number or length of cut of tool.
- Calculations are then completed automatically including cutting parameters such as RPM,
feedrate and in-the-cut time as well as machine specific times such as tool change, rapid time, index time, etc. In this way KipwareCYC
® produces an accurate, conclusive cycle time estimate for every job quote you do.
