Reduce Tooling Costs with OnTakt

OnTakt Endmill Demo Image

Identify a new tool or lot of tools that cause production problems

Every month, OnTakt will easily pay for itself by identifying the tools causing production problems. By monitoring the OnTakt tooling module, an operator can quickly assess when consumable and durable tools are either underperforming or providing better than expected tool life. By tracking tool life with OnTakt, operators and supervisors will have a clear picture of true tool life, leading to smarter decisions about when to change tools and/or drives and when to switch to a different tool to optimize tool life. With an accurate picture of tool life, a shop can lean harder on real data to support decisions rather than on the traditional method of relying on highly skilled operators to listen and feel for what is happening on a machine.

Conservative Tool Targets

OnTakt integrated with TMAC leads to a savings of $2,000 per machine every month on consumable tooling alone

OnTakt and TMAC from Caron Engineering are designed to be tightly integrated. Leveraging data from both systems simultaneously leads to significant savings on tooling. In our own production shop we are able to safely push tools further into their tool life by using TMAC to stop machines when tools wear or break prematurely. By pairing TMAC with tool life data tracked and recorded in OnTakt, we can easily identify trends to decide when to look into poorly performing tools or identify process changes that need attention. This type of data is often lost on a shop floor. But presenting it clearly, to all levels of an organization, can lead to significant cost savings with rapid ROIs. OnTakt and TMAC will rapidly pay for themselves after finding even one tool that could benefit from more aggressive tool life.

COST SAVINGS

$2,000

SAVINGS PER MONTH

Extra tool life saves $2,000 in tooling per month per machine by driving 5 endmills and 5 insert tools longer with protection by TMAC.

Use Data to Prevent Unexpected Machine Stoppages

Reduce Operator / Employee Costs

Machine shops can operate more efficiently by making operators, supervisors, and purchasing more efficient with access to clear, usable production data.

Reduce Machine Downtime

When a machine stops unexpectedly, downtime usually occurs because the operator is busy with other tasks or doesn’t know the machine has stopped. OnTakt’s integration with Microsoft Teams and Slack allows your team to receive real-time notifications of events…
