    Deburring & grinding

    Glintify estimates the deburring need from the part's edge length, number of drilled edges and weld joints. Surface finish requirements from PMI decide if standard deburring is enough or multi-stage grinding is needed. Method, manual, machine or robot, is configured per company and affects hourly rate and consumption.

    // Detection

    What Glintify detects

    The system analyzes the part's geometry and extracts every manufacturing-relevant feature without manual input.

    Extracted data

    Cut edges, drilled edges, weld joints, surface finish requirements, tolerance markings

    // Automation

    What is calculated automatically

    All measurements are extracted directly from the geometry.

    Quality rules

    The system automatically checks whether the part fits within your capacity and flags designs that can cause production issues.

    Stainless requires dedicated grinding equipment (corrosion)
    Surface finish Ra < 0.8 → multi-stage grinding
    Hard-to-reach interiors → manual time
    Sharp edge ≥ 0.1 mm → deburring mandatory

    The same routing line as in Monitor

    On top of our time-based calculation, deburring & grinding is also costed as a routing line ("beredningsrad") in Monitor's format: production group (work center), setup time, cycle time, allowance (F-time) and piece time, priced with the production group's cost factors. The line can be exported as an article with routing straight to your ERP system.

    Routing lineExplanation
    Production groupFetched from your ERP system or created from the machine park
    Setup timePer batch, not per piece — spread over the quantity
    Cycle timeThe technical time per piece, calculated from the geometry
    F-time %Allowance on top of the cycle time
    Piece timeCycle time × (1 + F-time %)
    Cost factorsMachine, wages + social charges and fixed manufacturing overhead in SEK/h, with a staffing factor
    Cost = setup time × rate + piece time × rate × quantity

    Markups for MO (material overhead), LO (subcontracting overhead), AFFO (general overhead) and profit are added at quote level — exactly as in Monitor's pre-calculation.
