Elliott manufactures turbomachinery products such as: air and gas compressors, steam turbines, power recovery turbines, bow thrusters and power generating equipment that are used around the globe.
Like many companies, Elliott is pursuing lean manufacturing methods. Many aspects of NC programming are typically wasteful. Ideally you would have to program certain things only once, such as thread milling routines or other standard operation. Because NCL has a powerful language based core, Elliott is able to write labor saving macro programs to handle these common operations. Powerful utilities providing consistent, standardized code for the operators are created by using variable inputs and programming logic. As a result, these common routines reduce programming time, NC setup and dry run time, and bolster operator confidence.
