  1. AUTOMATIC MACHINE MONITORING Introducing … P.U.L.S.E

  2. WHY MONITORING? PULSE WAS DESIGNED ON THE PREMISE THAT YOU WANT TO GET MORE FROM YOUR MACHINES • Machines represent the biggest capital investment in any shop • Machining consumes more than half of the mold build hours

  3. ? WHY MONITORING? COMMON PRACTICE SUGGESTS THAT IF: • Machines are running with a minimum of idle time • Feed-rates are kept high • Then the machines are considered to be well utilized … • BUT ARE THEY REALLY OR IS IT ONLY A PERCEPTION?

  4. WHAT’S MONITORED ? PULSE PROVIDES QUANTATIVE INFORMATION • PRODUCTIVE TIMES • Current status of components on machines • Current operation type • Current tool in spindle • Machine utilization • Total machining time for each component • Cumulative times for each operation type per component • NON-PRODUCTIVE TIMES • Idle • Frequent changes in scheduling • Improper use of tool changers • Cutting tool shortages • Data delays • Setups • Crane unavailable • ACTUAL FEED RATES • Real-time • Averaged over time

  5. WHAT IS IT USED FOR ? PULSE PROVIDES MANAGING TOOLS • Alarms • Action tools via e-mails • Real-time displays • Scheduled reports • Communication with your ERP or Scheduling programs

  6. HOW DO WE MONITOR? USING LEMOINE PATENTED TECHNOLOGIES WE CAN : • Interface Pulse to all machines • Automatically detect the current part and what operations are being performed • Measure motion of all axes, Setup times, Utilization and feed-rates

  7. HOW DO WE MONITOR? WHAT MACHINES ARE MONITORED? • 3D high-speed machines • 3D roughing machines • Component machines • Gundrills • Plate Machines • Boring Mills • Electrode Cutting machines • EDM • Wire EDM

  9. Time base 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 1 year < Back Managers Interface Forward >

  10. Current Time This display is 24 hours starting at 6:00 am < Back Managers Interface Forward >

  11. Machine Description and Operators name. This display represents one machine < Back Managers Interface Forward >

  12. Yellow is Idle Time Current Feedrate Green is Motion Utilization Percentages < Back Managers Interface Forward >

  13. < Back Forward >

  14. Click on a green area and see information about the job name, component name and type of operation on the machine < Back Forward >

  15. Click on a yellow area and see the reason for the idle time < Back Forward >

  16. Reasons for idle times (yellow) and their weight. Orange bar: cumulative short stops of less than 10 minutes.

  17. Utilization report for 1 month period • Machine name • Percent utilization for each shift

  18. AVERAGE FEED-RATES Q4 2006 • Afternoon shift • Night shift • Day shift

  19. - Job name - Component name - Times spent on job components by type of operation

  20. MACHINE ACTIVITY REPORT

  21. Multinational Technologies Inc. About Us Lemoine Multinational Technologies Inc. was incorporated in the United States in 1988 and begun its activities distributing digitizing systems and later on HSM systems to improve the feed rates in machining molds and dies accurately. In 1991 Lemoine introduced a breakthrough in 3-D machining of molds and dies with the installation of the first ‘shop floor’ cam system in a General Motors modernized tool room in Ohio. At present Lemoine operates in North America, Europe and Asia, promoting advanced technologies in machining of molds and dies of all kinds, including injection, compression and blow molds as well as aluminum die-cast tools and form dies.
