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
