  1. Making money, or just chips? Reducing cycletimes is the best way to beat competition. So far there was no tool available to help CNC users to reduce cycle times. CAPS solves this problem. Whether you are a job shop making large variety of new parts or a large company making large volume of old legacy parts - CAPS will help you become more productive .. and therefore more profitable.

  2. Engineering NEW parts? A new part every week Too many inquiries to respond in a short time Cycle time calculated is either too high or too low Schedules are dependent on contract programmers Cycle times depend heavily on thumb rules Poor standardization in tool and FS selection In house skill levels need updating / upgrading Suspect that there is 20% scope for improvement in cycle times Common pain points…

  3. Re-engineering OLD parts? Large number of parts need a fresh look to shorten cycle times Re- engineering is a slow and painful process but must do Process methodology, tools and FS used are outdated Programs are not efficient or too complex to understand Will need machines to verify re-engineered parts No documentation available on process or program In house skill levels need upgrading overnight to start re-engineering Suspect that there is 40% scope for improvement but no way to measure Common pain points…

  4. 5 factors that impact profitability 1. Speed 2. Accuracy 3. Safety 4. Skills 5. Standardization

  5. SPEED I need programs fast, my machines are waiting I need quick cycle time calculations, my customers are waiting My machines are used for trials, wasting many machine hours I want to quickly interchange programs between machines Challenges before you How can CAPS help? • Cuts down programming time by 80% • Calculates cycle time in just a few seconds • Helps you weed out wasteful motions on PC • Generates programs for any machine within seconds

  6. ACCURACY My job quotations are always higher than my competitor’s I want to ensure shortest tool paths automatically I wish to calculate cycle times accurately, to quote realistically. I wish to avoid trial and error in proving new programs Challenges before you How can CAPS help? • Calculates machine specific cycle times,100% accurate • Ensures shortest tool path, using optimal cutting logic • Considers minute factors to calculate cycle time accurately • Generates specific machine programs, first time right

  7. SAFETY I wish to be 100% confident of the program before cutting I wish to avoid tool gouging / collisions I have high part rejections due to poor tool and FS selection I wish to avoid trial and error in tool and FS selection Challenges before you How can CAPS help? • Generates programs after tool path verification on PC • Automatically warns and shows tool gouge before cutting • Prompts optimized FS and tool selection to the user • Learns and remembers user’s tool and FS preferences

  8. SKILLS I am too dependant on operators or a part-time programmer I wish to be able to quickly decide on the best process plan I wish to upgrade process planning skills rather than programming I wish promote systematic approach to cycle time reduction Challenges before you How can CAPS help? • Safe and optimal cycle time guaranteed even for a fresh user • Allows user to quickly try out different machining strategies / plans • Easy to learn and master, takes just one day • Allows user to assess the impact of various FS on cycle times

  9. STANDARDIZATION I wish to have common programs for similar machines I wish to use CAD files directly to program, to save time I wish to standardize tool and FS selection I wish to document my processes for ISO compliance / repeat runs Challenges before you How can CAPS help? • Generates flawless and ready to run programs for any machine • Reads CAD profiles directly • Enables user configurable tool and FS database • Generates shop floor documents automatically in seconds

  10. CAPS advantage summary • SPEED : • Generates cycle times sheets in minutes • Generates machine specific programs in a minute • ACCURACY : • Shortest possible cycle times • 100% accurate cycle time calculations • SAFETY: • Zero accidents, Zero rejections • First time right optimal programs • SKILLS • Do-It-Yourself, spread the skills in house • Less dependence on programmers for productivity • STANDARIZATION • Good bye to thumb rules in FS selection • Generates process documents Final word: Increased speed of response to RFQs Increased confidence in job quotes Increased accuracy in cycle times Increased profitability Reduced cycle times Reduced machine downtime Reduced dependence on programmer's skills Reduced use of thumb rules

  15. How much ? CAPS is very affordably priced If you are engineering new parts for short batches, then your ROI on CAPS is the time taken to make just 15 parts. If you are re-engineering old legacy parts for large volumes, then your ROI on CAPS is the time taken to refine just 6 parts. CAPS is a CMTI-PMT award winner at IMTEX and is the industry standard productivity tool.
