Setup tracking, first article inspection, and job costing for CNC, Swiss-type, and multi-axis machining operations.
A 50-piece job with a 2-hour setup means your per-part cost is dominated by non-cutting time. Without tracking setup vs. cycle time separately, you cannot quote accurately or identify where to invest in quick-change fixturing. Axis work orders capture setup and cycle time independently for every operation.
The machinist measures the first part, writes the results on a paper form, and hands it to the inspector. If it is lost or illegible, the inspection might as well not have happened. Axis records FAI results digitally — every measurement tied to the part number, lot, work order, and inspector.
Worn tooling produces out-of-spec parts. Without tracking how many parts each insert has cut, you are either changing too early (wasting money) or too late (scrapping parts). Axis build plan operations can document tool requirements and expected life per operation step.
You quote a job at $18 per part but have no idea if you actually hit that number. Axis tracks materials consumed, time logged, and operations completed per work order — giving you actual cost data to compare against the quote.
Work orders capture setup time and run time per operation. Compare actual vs. estimated across jobs to identify bottlenecks and improve quoting accuracy over time.
Record measurements, tolerances, and pass/fail results in the records module. Each FAI is linked to the part number, lot, work order, and inspector — ready for customer or auditor review.
Build plans define every step from rough machining through finish cuts, deburring, surface treatment, and final inspection. Each operation carries work center, estimated time, and detailed instructions.
Inventory tracks bar stock, plate, and round by material grade, diameter, and length. When a work order consumes material, Axis deducts from the correct lot and updates available quantities in real time.
Each customer job becomes a project with tasks, milestones, and deadlines. Link work orders to the project so everyone can see what is in progress, what is next, and what is overdue.
Every action is logged — who did what, when, and to which record. The audit log is append-only, giving you the traceability that aerospace, medical, and defense customers demand.
