en.Wedoany.com Reported - ANCA has launched an advanced productivity program called Performance+, designed to help tool manufacturers achieve elite-level efficiency gains that directly translate into higher production capacity while maintaining or improving tool quality.

Against the backdrop of a 100% increase in carbide prices, every gain in efficiency is critical for manufacturers. Performance+ is based on a measurable and risk-reduced commitment: by following ANCA's guidance, customers are guaranteed at least a 10% reduction in cycle time.

The program begins with a personalized assessment of the customer's manufacturing process, reviewing setup, cycle time performance, and production targets. Subsequently, ANCA experts provide a clear set of recommendations including return on investment insights, followed by hands-on implementation and application training to embed best grinding practices into daily production.

Performance+ targets the real causes of productivity loss in the grinding ecosystem—software, machine behavior, consumables, coolant and wheel strategies, process optimization, and operator habits—turning small improvements into substantial annual gains.

"Performance+ is designed for manufacturers who know there is more productivity potential in their operations but need a proven path to unlock it," said Thomson Mathew, Product Manager at ANCA. "It is a high-level consulting service that transforms data into tangible changes on the machine and the shop floor—in multiple cases, cycle time has been reduced by up to 40% without compromising tool quality."

Performance+ builds on ANCA's proven productivity foundation, including ToolRoom RN35 optimization software, MTC (Motor Temperature Control), grinding point speed, and tool runout compensation, and further elevates grinding efficiency through tailored additional software enhancements, selected hardware upgrades, and structured training.

Performance+ is configured according to each manufacturer's priorities, focusing on the top three tool types that matter most to their output and profitability, ensuring improvements are relevant, measurable, and aligned with the manufacturer's goals.

Performance+ is designed for the outcomes manufacturers value: more tools delivered per shift, less non-cutting time, and faster return on equipment investment. Over one month of production (based on a comparison of 16 hours per shift, 5 days per week), Performance+ results show: 123 to 659 additional tools produced per month depending on tool type; 30 to 80 hours saved per month; and an estimated value of AUD 3,000 to 8,000 per machine per month (calculated at AUD 100 per hour), excluding raw material and specific workpiece factors.

While Performance+ guarantees at least a 10% improvement in cycle time, ANCA has already seen results far exceeding this baseline. Using optimization software, cycle time is reduced by 25%; using the latest software plus optimized process improvements, cycle time is reduced by 30%; using hybrid wheels plus optimized process improvements, cycle time is reduced by 35%.

Manufacturers can work with ANCA to confirm eligibility and simulate potential savings based on their current cycle times, output, and priority tool types. With a clear path to measurable productivity gains, Performance+ provides tool manufacturers with a compelling reason to reassess what their grinding operations can achieve at new heights.
