A CIMCO Machine Data Collection (MDC) system was recently installed at a customer site that had tooling cost issues. The Production director had only recently taken over the management of the shop floor and felt that the tooling costs were too high.

CIMCO MDC-Max was installed and completed before the night shift arrived. The next morning the production director checked the monitoring data collected from the machines and immediately had his answer.

The night shift cycle times for 4 machines were 30% less than during the day and the same machines were stopped for over an hour at the end of the shift. The operators had turned up the feedrates so they could take a break at the end of their shift. But the increased feedrates resulted in poor tool tip life and increased

tooling costs. The customer now has reduced tooling costs while still achieving the same production schedules and says that the system will pay for itself in a matter of months .
