Fast product changeover

It takes more than just tool block change
Most likely your machine is scheduled for more than one product. So changing-over from one product to another is a recurring operation. Of course you want to minimize change-over time, as it is non-productive time. We studied the product change-over activity of multiple operations. Up to 65% of the total change-over time is used for centering, dimensioning, setting of conditions, trial runs and adjusting machine settings.
