Tool Tips Tool tips

In today’s Tool Tip Tuesday we continue to look at how scripting can automate and simplify tasks. We all know the importance of scheduling in a production or manufacturing process to optimise machine workloads. This is where scripting is extremely useful during the planning stage to maintain production schedules. You can run a script on a folder in which your grinding files are kept, and it will look at each .TOM file and individually calculate an estimated cycle time. The cycle time results are presented in a CSV format which can be imported into your business system to update scheduling information on your ANCA machines. Interested in giving scripting a shot? ANCA Club has a library of sample scripts for you – including the one mentioned in this tip – to try out, so you can see for yourself just how sophisticated or simple a script can be. If you’re not an ANCA Club member, email us at marketing@anca.com and we can set you up with a login.
