Does your tool performance measure up?
Deterioration Analysis is a brand-neutral assessment process, that can be done on site or remotely in just days, comparing your tool usage to industry norms for a clear picture of potential savings in tool and machining cost, increases in productivity, and reductions in downtime, scrap and re-work.
Traditional methods of analyzing machining process issues such as technological tool wear analysis fall short when it comes to equating the effect that tool life plays on overall shop performance. The result is that you may be underestimating and, in many cases, missing the true impact of interrelated issues such as machine utilization, quality, delivery and of course tool cost.
