Time is Money - Less Time is More Money

You make money when your machines are running.  You make maximum profit when they are running at peak efficiency.  Uptime and cycle time are important to you.  Need more capacity?

Even the simplest process can be improved by evaluating the components that make up "the system".  The tool, holder, machine, machining parameters, fixture, and coolant can all play a part in the efficiency of the process.  The tool path is another area for improvement.  We have become experts in helping you improve the overall process.

The cutting tool is only a small part of the system.  You don't want to spend a bunch of money experimenting but you know you need an improvement.  That's where we come in.  Our applications specialists will evaluate the current process and make recommendations.  The goal is to run as fast as each component will allow.

The faster you make parts - the faster you make money.  No complicated formulas here.

Are you running as "fast" as you can?  How do you know?  Need to reduce your cycle time?
Give us a shot.

Here is a real-world example:
In order to meet demand this customer needed to save at least 30 seconds per part.  We reviewed the operation, the g-code program, and the tooling.  We made a few recommendations, brought in a performance trial, and demonstrated that we can save 41 seconds per part.  41 seconds each - on thousands of parts - for a few hundred dollar investment.



Cycle time prior to ET review: 1m 46s
Cycle time after ET review: 1m 5s
















Got a tough job? Need cycle time improvements?
Not local? No problem; we have solved many problems over the phone or via the web.  You can even email your g-code program and we'll review it for you.
