Turnkey APC Configuration
- face-to-face
Duration
custom-made
An operational APC without requiring your teams to spend time on configuration
The coefficient matrix is at the heart of APC: it links each feature of the part to the machine corrections that move it. Without it, no corrections are calculated. Building it requires time and a thorough understanding of the process for each part × machine family combination. With our turnkey APC Configuration service, our experts handle this step based on your drawings and machining programs. You can begin operation using a verified configuration, without placing any additional burden on your production staff and machine setters.
Objective: To move more quickly from APC installation to the production of compliant parts.
How the APC Is Changing Production
An adjustment made using a corrector often affects multiple dimensions at once, and a single dimension may depend on multiple correctors. Our experts translate these interactions into precise coefficients: this is what enables the APC to calculate the correct adjustments and produce the results shown below.

What You Get
- The coefficient matrices for your parts, configured and ready for control
- Get your APC up and running faster, without having to involve your methods team or technicians in the configuration process
- A configuration verified using your first measured parts
- Teams that are regaining control on a solid foundation for their upcoming projects
For whom
Machining shops that are implementing the Ellistat APC—or expanding it to new machines and part numbers—and want to move quickly without overburdening their process, quality, or production teams.
What We Need
- Room layouts and the parameters to be controlled.
- The machining programs and offsets used on each machine.
- A contact person from the workshop to review the configuration with us.
Duration
Customized based on the complexity of your parts
Why Delegate Configuration
- The matrix determines the quality of the corrections: an incorrect coefficient results in an incorrect correction.
- Each "part × machine" pair has its own configuration: the workload increases rapidly as the number of part numbers grows.
- Your teams remain focused on production during the deployment.
Our Team
Your matrices are configured by Ellistat’s APC experts, who implement the solution at precision machining manufacturers. They rely on the quality methodology developed by Maurice Pillet, a leading French authority on SPC and Six Sigma.
Procedure
1. Collection of Your Data
- Drawings, Control Parameters, and Tolerances
- Machining programs, tools, and machine-specific offsets
2. Matrix Configuration
- Relationships between each characteristic and the factors that influence it
- Numerical coefficients for each part × machine family combination
3. Flight Check
- Verification of the corrections calculated based on your first measured parts
- Adjust the coefficients if necessary
4. Handover to Your Teams
- Overview of the Configuration as Shipped
- Best Practices for Setting Up Your Next Products
Further Reading
- With ELLICAM, the APC configuration is generated automatically from your CAM software.
