Nisthora for metal fabrication and cnc machining.
CNC machines already know their cycle count, spindle load and alarms. Nisthora reads them directly, shows how much of each shift every machine really cuts metal, and warns before a tool or spindle problem stops it.
What gets in the way.
Machines waiting, not cutting
Machines often sit waiting for setup, a program, material or an inspection.
Tool wear
A worn tool spoils parts. A broken one stops the machine.
Job shop variety
Many small jobs mean many setups.
What Nisthora connects to and measures.
Machines
- CNC lathes
- Vertical and horizontal machining centres
- Laser and plasma cutters
- Press brakes
- Welding sets
- Grinders
Readings
- Cycle or part count
- Spindle load and speed
- Run / idle / alarm state
- Feed rate override
- Coolant temperature
- Energy use
Typical stop reasons
- Setup
- Waiting for program
- Waiting for material
- Tool change
- First-off inspection
- Machine alarm
These are common examples. Each plant names its own machines and lines, and sets up its own stop reasons, in the words its team uses.
Usually none, unless your customer needs it
A job shop usually needs no batch tracing. When your customer's industry asks for material or heat lot tracing, Nisthora's batch records can hold it. Where you do not need batches, Nisthora still records each run behind the scenes.
A day with Nisthora
A machine shop puts every CNC on the shop floor board. The Pareto shows the biggest loss is Waiting for program, not breakdowns, so the fix is a change in how programs reach the floor, not a new machine.
