PortCNC's eNETDNC arms companies with a new tool to improve productivity and
machine utilization. True Machine Monitoring is now available using
the eNETDNC system.
The machine-monitoring feature provides instant status
of any CNC machine in the shop and allows for collection of real-time
production data directly from the machine controls. Using the DNC
connection to the machine tool and a special monitoring board, the
eNET system is able to monitor the CNC control activity and provide
production relevant information about the machine operation.
Using
the Machine Monitoring system companies will be able to
track the
following information:
-
Spindle
On Time
- True cycle time
- Accurate Part Counts
- Set-up time
- Machine downtime due to quality, engineering
or material issues
- Preventative Maintenance Log
- Tool Breakage
- Unscheduled Maintenance time
The machine monitoring system has the ability to monitor
controller-generated data. Based on this information the system
determines the machine status.
Either the machine is active and running production
parts, it is in the set-up mode or the machine is idle. If the machine
is idle operators are required to report why the machine is idle.
This portion of the monitoring system allows companies to configure
the system to track data most relevant to their operation. The flexibility
of the eNET system will help create focus on the non-production
time and track the causes. The monitoring set-up screen allows companies
to select items critical to their operations.
One example would be waiting for support activities.
Whether it is quality, engineering or other activities we all know
that too often machines wait for support personnel. The eNET system
will allow companies to quantify the amount of time being lost,
investigate the reason for the losses and finally put solutions
in place that will eliminate these problems in the future.
Machine Monitoring closes the loop in labor reporting.
Machine Monitoring provides management
with another tool to optimize their operations.
