pcdmis CMM machine time

Hi guys!
So my boss is considering buying another cmm (yaySlight smile) and we re getting some new jobs that requieres a lot of control in CMM.
So we want facts and numbers.
Basically i wanna know how many hours during a specified time (ex. per day, or during august - december) the CMM is in use. (measuring)
If this is not stored in the machine/pcdmis i guess i would have assign the runtime to excel or something. but im not sure how to go about this.

It would also be nice to have a log thats a bit more comprehensive. For example that i could check during a time period, how many hours the CMM was in use, which programs were used, how many times they were runned, and runtime of the programs etc. Has anyone done this or something similar?

you guys always help me - thanks for ur help - if it werent for you guys i would be nothing

  • If you don't already have it, some people built a start time and end time then do the calculation and display it on their pdf file.
    Others like to log start/end information into a text file so they can 'read' through it to see how much time the machine was in use for a specified date or time period. This will also track down time between runs.
