Seiki offers free Internet check for CNC productivity

CNC machine tool users that want an assessment of machine hours that could be saved, cost savings and productivity gains can sign on for a free online Q and A session over the Internet with software specialist Seiki Systems. The on-line questionnaire was devised to help manufacturers see what could be achieved by using DNC (direct numerical control) and CNC program management. Go to www.seikisystems.co.uk Says general manager David Trowell: “The questionnaire takes very little time to complete and [should] enlighten machine tool users about how much production time is actually lost when just changing programs. When they see the final calculations on CNC savings and the productivity gain achievable … they will be very surprised.”
