Get the full utility from your current machine tools
With machine tools, too much unproductive time is often used to change settings for different jobs. Human memory is limited, and you can’t remember all the important points, especially if some time has passed since the last setting. Thanks to efficient setting documentation, unnecessary hassle is eliminated, and the machine setting can be prepared during the production run. The necessary tools and fasteners can be prepared ahead of time, and a picture in the document says more than a thousand words.
Today, a machinist must be multiskilled. He must know how to use several different machine tools and make settings for them. Machine tools and the work done on them may be very different from each other, and the machinist must remember the functions of several machines. A situation often arises when a machinist must use a machine tool that he last used six months ago. In this situation, the machinist’s memory is put to the test.
Too often, all the necessary information is based on the memory of a couple people. What happens when these key people go on vacation or change jobs…?
Creating a document with the FastCNCsetup software is effortless and only takes a few minutes. The images can be securely added directly into the document with the FastCNCsetup Link phone application. It is possible to install the FastCNCsetup database on the company’s network. A common database enables efficient management of shared tools. Setting documents can also be easily copied to another machine.
In the FastCNCsetup software, tools and fasteners can be listed per machine tool, so they can be added to the setup document with the click of a mouse.
Thanks to the setting documentation, the setting time is minimized, and the utilization rate and productivity of the machine increase significantly. The software can also be easily used for documenting machine tools with functions other than machining, for example: welding machines, sheet metal work centers, edging machines, 3D printers, etc.
With the help of the FastCNCsetup program’s clear search function, you can find a job in no time.
When opening the document, all the details of the job are displayed. Setting up the machine speeds up significantly, because all information is clearly displayed and can be converted to a PDF format or printed on paper if necessary.
Maintenance items can be instructed with pictures, and the maintenance manual can be used to document what has been done at any given time.
New machinists are quicker to familiarize themselves with the work thanks to the clear setting documentation.
