Process Planner

Create a Documented Process Plan with Press Requirements and Costing for Transfer, Tandem, and Progressive Dies

• Develops a detailed process plan for quoting
• Generates images to detail die actions in each operation
• Results in increased accuracy and enables a faster quoting process
• Scientific physics-based approach to process planning
• Calculates minimum press requirements such as tonnage, bed size, shut height, energy, and selects appropriate press
• Consistent and repeatable method for estimating tooling costs with detailed reports
• Open Access System that can connect and populate any internal costing reports

FEATURES:

• Uses information from FASTBLANK®, BLANKNEST®, and PROGNEST® to define operations sequence such as forming, peircing, trimming, and cams
• Complexity (severity) of each operation is considered
• Accurate prediction of die load and die energy
• Minimum press requirements such as tonnage, weight, size, shut height are determined
• Uses industry standardized costing methodologies that can be customized to match your company standards
• Sensitivity to rates for die construction, machine, design, and material costs
• Results are provided as hours or cost for the process and for each operation
• Die layout with scrap plan is generated
• Detailed reports include summaries, tonnages, sizes, costs break-down per operation, and complete documentation of the process plan
