Cycle time calculator
The cycle time calculator supports you by calculating the cycle time from the technical data of the product and selecting the best machine for the manufacturing process. It provides support for classic metalworking processes such as turning, milling, drilling and die casting, etc., as well as for plastics processing technologies such as injection molding, etc.
Our cycle time calculator is ideal for cost engineering as it facilitates cost control for new and purchased products. It calculates the most favorable manufacturing process for purchase cost analysis and enables the selection of the best suppliers. In addition, it supports electronics-oriented technologies such as the assembly of printed circuit boards.
Use the cycle time calculator to quickly and easily compare the costs of different manufacturing technologies. With just one click, it identifies the most cost-effective technology, drawing on the extensive costdata machine database, which includes over 14,000 machines from around the world. This covers a wide range of technologies, including metalworking, plastics, and electronics processes.
