The form grinding phase of manufacturing is undeniably the most time consuming and unpredictable aspect of production and will also represent a large portion of the overall processing time. At DiamTech, as part of most of our consulting projects, we have developed a custom data collection and analysis tool that we believe to be crutial to any manufacturer that is seeking true manufacturing efficiency:
C.W.P.A.T. (Controlled Waviness Production Analysis Tool)
What is it?
The Controlled Waviness Production Analysis Tool is a custom designed data collection and analysis application that can be used to analyze many crucial aspects of controlled waviness tool production.
What can it do?
By analyzing the raw data that our clients provide, the resulting statistics can be used for various ways such as:
• Monitoring Progress & Performance
• Determining efficiency of any procedure alteration
• Establish statistic based production standards
• Serve as a diagnostic tool to help locate possible source of error
• Help create profitable pricing index based on production statistics
• Help provide more accurate delivery delays
What statistics can be extracted?
The following are some of the statistics that be determined for various given parameters:
• Total attempts with PASS and FAIL statistics
• Success Rate per category in %
• Average achieved waviness for PASS, FAIL and TOTAL
• Average roughing process duration
• Average finishing process duration
• Average total form grinding process duration
• Efficient Grind Time
• Variables parameter fluctuation
• Variable Relativity
• Volumetric breakdown of workflow
We provide our clients with periodic reports that outline the key production figures and can also provide custom reports as per clients request.
