In The Trenches: New Video - Machining Cycletime Estimating with KipwareCYC® from Kentech Inc.

No matter what you are using to produce your cost estimates and quotations ... if you are not realistically estimating your machining cycletime ... you are still GUESSTIMATING. Basing your labor charges on quesses or pie-in-the-sky cutting parameters that result in inaccurate machining cycletimes will still produce inaccurate cost estimates and lost profits.

Since 1986, over 25+ years, our proven-in-the-trenches cycletime estimating software ... KipwareCYC® ... has been providing accurate and fast machining cycletimes that insure that the KEY FACT to successful cycletime estimates is achieved. What is the KEY FACT to accurate cycletime estimates ... THAT THE MACHINING CONDITIONS AND PARAMETERS USED IN THE ESTIMATE CAN ACTUALLY BE REPRODUCED ON YOUR SHOP FLOOR.

Book knowledge ... theoretical speeds and speeds ... fancy speed and feed calculators ... don't do ANY GOOD if those parameters cannot be reproduced on YOU SHOP FLOOR. The numbers sound and look good ... are easy to obtain with those fancy calculators or speed and feed software ... but if they are not being used on your shop floor your estimated time vs. actual time will not be accurate and your cycletime estimates will not be accurate. The result ... longer actual cycletimes and lost profits.

Why and How is KipwareCYC® different?

ACCURATE CYCLETIME ESTIMATING

With a New Year upon us and all the possibilities that lay ahead ... are you ready to
STOP GUESSTIMATING and START ESTIMATING ??

We created a new training video that illustrates the process of creating a machining cycletime estimate using our KipwareCYC® application. Why not give it a look?
