Separate lines
Material, turning and milling time, setup and programming.
Quantity breaks
Cost per part at every quantity asked.
Setups
Main and sub-spindle, recorded per route.
When mill-turn pays off.
Fewer setups.
One machine instead of a lathe and a mill.
A higher rate.
The setups you save have to outweigh a higher hourly rate.
Programming.
Main and sub-spindle together mean more programming and a careful first part.
After the estimate comes the measured time.
Underneath Blake sits Subduxion’s manufacturing world model: how a part, its requirements, your machines and your team’s decisions fit together. It estimates the machining time first; the next steps put the measured time beside it.
- Next: the cycle time from the CAM program beside the estimated time.
- Then the machine’s hours per order, beside the estimate.
- Every next estimate then starts from what was actually made.
Frequently asked questions
Can Blake estimate mill-turn parts?
Yes. The turning and milling operations of one part go into one estimate: material, machining time, setup and programming on separate lines, at the hourly rate of your own mill-turn machine.
How does Blake check whether a part fits my mill-turn machine?
Blake checks the part against every machine in your shop on envelope and axes, and names the deciding limit. You see which mill-turn machines fit and which are for other work, such as a lathe without a milling spindle.
How do I record setups for mill-turn work?
Per route, for example main spindle and sub-spindle. You record them and accept them, and Blake calculates with what you record. Every change can be undone.
Which requirements does Blake take from a mill-turn drawing?
Material, tolerances, roughness, threads and finishing. On a mill-turn part, also the fit on the bearing seat and the threads in the cross holes. Blake reads them from the PDF drawing and places them as proposals beside the STEP model. You confirm or correct them.
Does Blake use the rate of our mill-turn machine?
Yes. Every machine in Blake carries your own shop rate, so a more expensive mill-turn machine is costed at its own rate.
