GLOBAL TOOL DETERIORATION ANALYSIS

Shed Light On Your Entire Machining Production Business

How your production unit stacks up relative to others in industry can tell you a lot about your machining processes and production operation. To maintain a competitive edge, so to speak, it’s good to look at the competition to get valid comparisons that provide good indications about overall manufacturing and machining efficiency.

Seco Global Tool 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 reduction in down-time as well as 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 affect that tool life plays on overall shop performance. The result is that you may be under-estimating and, in many cases, missing the true impact of inter-related issues such as machine utilization, quality, delivery and of course tool cost. Our Global Tool Wear Analysis helps you understand key issues that impact your whole operation, such as:

  • Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
  • Machine set-up or change-over efficiency
  • Tool Flow Management
  • Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
  • Cutting tool and cutting strategy selection procedures
    and routines
  • Machining operator and engineer knowledge level
    and skill set
