Manufacturing · Machine Tool Manufacturer Management Software

Bed, spindle, ball screws and accuracy test kept together under each machine tool serial.

Handle enquiries, model and option quotations, drawing control, bed machining and scraping, spindle and screw assembly, run-in, accuracy tests, installation, training and spares on one record per machine. Every machine serial carries its bed, spindle, screws, controller and test results. Sales quote from your model list. Fitters and service engineers read one build history.

  • Model list, options and test sheets entered the way your sales and test staff use them
  • Sold serials, parts lists and customer machines migrated
  • Accuracy limits supplied by your engineers

Makers of lathes, milling machines, machining centres and grinders use it for quotations, castings, assembly, accuracy tests and installation, after GullySystem has fitted it to the works. Each machine serial holds its bed, spindle, ball screws, controller and test results. Training and spares follow the same record. Accuracy limits come from your own engineers.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Enquiries describe parts, not machines

A buyer lists the components to be machined. Size, material, tolerance and batch size decide the machine, and are written down late.

Option lists live in a salesperson’s notebook

Tool changers, turrets, coolant systems and rotary tables change the price and the base. The quotation is repeated from the last job.

Bed machining fixtures are not recorded

Which fixture and which setup produced a bed is known only to the operator who ran it. A later complaint cannot be traced.

Guideway scraping is not logged

The fitter scrapes a way until the contact is right. The hours and checks are not recorded anywhere.

Accuracy readings sit on loose sheets

Straightness, squareness and positioning readings are taken in the test bay. They are copied into a report when the buyer asks.

Training and handover are undocumented

An operator is shown the machine on site. Who attended and what was covered is not saved.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Enquiry and application

    The enquiry records parts, material, tolerance and batch. A model and options are shortlisted.

  2. 2

    Quotation

    The machine, accessories, installation and training are priced from your tables. Revisions are kept.

  3. 3

    Order and drawing release

    A confirmed order opens a serial. Drawings and parts lists are released with a revision letter.

  4. 4

    Machining and assembly

    Castings are machined, ways are ground and scraped, and the spindle, screws and guides are fitted.

  5. 5

    Run-in and accuracy test

    The spindle is run in and the machine is tested. Readings are saved against the serial.

  6. 6

    Installation, training and spares

    The machine is crated, installed and handed over. Operators are trained, and spares orders open from the record.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Enquiries and application capture

Log the parts to be machined, material, tolerance and batch size with each enquiry, and keep the part drawings sent by the buyer.

Quotations and option lists

Price machines from your tables for bed length, table size, spindle, turret or tool changer and controller, with every revision kept.

Drawing and parts list control

Release machine drawings and parts lists with a revision letter, so assembly builds the version that was ordered.

Casting and bed machining

Receive castings by pattern and heat number and record stress relief, machining setups and fixtures for each bed.

Guideway grinding and scraping

Log ways ground and scraped, the checks made and the fitter responsible, against the serial.

Spindle, screw and guide records

Link spindle cartridges, ball screws, linear guides, motors and controllers to the machine by serial.

Assembly stages

Move each machine through machining, scraping, assembly, wiring and run-in, with each stage signed off.

Run-in and accuracy tests

Save spindle run-in logs and geometric and positioning results for each serial, in your engineers’ format.

Installation and operator training

Book the commissioning engineer, record site adjustments and note who attended training.

Spares and service by serial

Quote belts, bearings, screws and guides from the machine as built, and log each visit against it.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Estimate/Quotation Management

    Machines are priced from tables for bed length, table size, spindle, turret or tool changer and controller, with buyer revisions kept.

  • Bill of Materials

    Each variant’s drawing and parts list is released with a revision letter, so assembly builds the bed length and table size ordered.

  • Batch and Serial Tracking

    Spindle cartridges, ball screws and linear guides arrive with supplier serials and are linked to the machine that carries them.

  • Work Order Management

    Every machine moves through machining, scraping, assembly, wiring and run-in as stages, each signed off by the fitter in charge.

  • Quality Control

    Spindle run-in logs and straightness, squareness and positioning readings are saved against the serial for later reference.

  • Job Work Management

    Castings sent out for stress relief or heavy machining are tracked as outside process jobs and receipted back by serial.

  • Technician Scheduling

    Commissioning engineers are booked against sites and dates, and the training visit is recorded on the machine.

  • Service Reports and Proof of Visit

    Each service visit is saved on the machine, so a ball screw, belt or bearing is quoted from what is installed.

Services

How we would put it in.

Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.

Who uses it

One system, each person sees their part.

For sales engineers

Capture the application, propose a model, price options and follow the quotation to an order.

For the design office

Release drawings for variants and see which orders wait for a drawing.

For machining and scraping fitters

See castings waiting, record setups and ways scraped, and pass the bed to assembly.

For test engineers

Save run-in and accuracy readings against the serial and print the report a buyer asks for.

For installation and service engineers

Open the machine, record site changes and training, and quote the right spare.

Test formats

Run-in and accuracy test sheets follow the layouts your engineers use and your buyers expect.

Spindles, screws, guides and controllers carry the serial fields your suppliers provide.

Records migrated

Machines already sold, their parts lists and spares history are brought in from the files you hold now.

Messages and documents

Email sends quotations, test reports and training records, and WhatsApp or another messenger carries quick updates.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Can the run-in log of a spindle be stored?

Yes. Hours, speeds and temperature readings are saved against the spindle serial. The assembly lead sees the progress before the machine moves to test.

How are options like a tool changer quoted?

Each option has its own price and parts. The quotation shows the machine with the options chosen, and the assembly bay sees the same list.

Does it record scraping work?

Yes. A fitter logs the ways scraped, the contact checks made and the date. The entry stays with the serial for later reference.

Can geometric test results go to the buyer?

Yes. The accuracy test is printed or shared as a document from the record. The layout is set with your test engineers.

Can we train and track operators?

Yes. The training visit lists who attended and what was covered, and the record stays against the machine.

Can retrofits of old machines be handled?

Yes. A retrofit opens as a job on the customer’s existing serial, with its new controller, drives and tests recorded.

Can existing serials be loaded?

Yes. Past machines, parts lists and customers are loaded from spreadsheets. Your service team checks the list before use.

What does it cost?

Cost follows how many staff use it and which test layouts you want. First comes a walk-through using one lathe or machining centre from your catalogue, and the figure is sent in writing after that.
