Support for strengthening machine processing business management: Release of the tool management system WinTool 2025.1!

Tool management software that strengthens the management of machining operations. It centralizes tool information that tends to be scattered within the company and supports the improvement of business productivity!

●Centralized Management of Cutting Tools and Tooling Information We build an integrated tool library to centrally manage data on cutting tools, tooling, jigs, measuring instruments, etc., which tend to be scattered within the company. This promotes information sharing across departments and allows us to establish a knowledge base not only of catalog information but also of our own know-how. ●Centralized Management of Files Used in Machining Operations In addition to tool information, we manage CAD/CAM data, NC programs, setup instructions, photos, videos, etc., in a one-stop manner for each processing unit. All "tools + files" are processed in a visible and standardized format. ●Collaboration Between Design and Manufacturing in Machining In addition to production preparation information such as tool information used in CAD/CAM, we manage manufacturing site information such as inventory management of actual tools and the location of tools attached to and detached from machine tools, achieving the integration of management between production technology and machining site areas. ●Unique to Tool Management Specialized Vendors Through interfaces with various systems such as CAM, tool presetters, machine tools, tool storage systems, ERP, MES, and PLM, WinTool serves as an information hub in the machining business process and contributes to the improvement of machining business processes.

• Production Management System

Organize and tidy up files and data used in machining operations, such as NC programs, for quick searchability!

Organize and tidy up files and data related to processing tasks by category. We will centrally manage various types of information such as CAD data, NC programs, other programs, tool lists, procedure manuals, images, videos, etc. This allows for one-stop management of files that are often managed separately by different departments and personnel, eliminating the chaos of file management across multiple departments and reducing human errors caused by a lack of consistency. Additionally, by properly managing files generated daily, we can accumulate information as know-how, which can be utilized in repeated processing and also serve as reference information for similar processing tasks. Furthermore, NC folders categorized by processing tasks can create sub-NC folders, allowing for hierarchical organization of NC folders. For example, by defining the relationships between main programs and sub-programs, we can enhance the depth of management regarding the relationships between processing tasks.

• Document and Data Management

In civil engineering sites, the use of sheet piling methods is essential for safely utilizing the site, including temporary roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and worker pathways. Traditionally, steel plates have been widely used, but due to their weight, they can be cumbersome to transport, install, and remove. Hyper CLT sheet piles are civil engineering materials made from wooden CLT for civil use. The 5×10 panel weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panel weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle with small machinery, contributing to reduced burdens during installation and improved work efficiency. They can be utilized in a wide range of civil engineering sites for measures against muddy conditions, ground protection, heavy machinery scaffolding, and ensuring pedestrian pathways. As a registered technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS "TH-250021-A," it is also recommended as a material for innovative ideas, safety measures, and environmental considerations in public works.

Fukuda's new flagship model. - Masterless type (FLA-0200 series) - General type (FLA-0201 series) Two models of air leak testers. With the mastering correction function, high-precision measurements can be achieved in a short time. Please take a look at the catalog.

What is an Air Leak Tester? An "Air Leak Tester" is a device that pressurizes the inside (or outside) of a sealed workpiece with air and determines the presence of leaks based on pressure changes. When a master with no leaks and a workpiece with leaks are pressurized, the pressure on the workpiece side decreases, creating a pressure difference between the two. By measuring this pressure difference, the presence of leaks can be determined. Generally, differential pressure air leak testing is widely used, but Fukuda also offers products that utilize direct pressure leak testing and flow meters according to the leak rate, in addition to differential pressure leak testers. Since the air leak tester uses air as the measurement medium, it incurs no running costs and is environmentally friendly.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies. In addition to automatic door sensors, we also offer a wide range of vehicle detection sensors and nursing/care sensors. Many implementation examples are also presented, so please take a look at the case study page.

Fukuda Co., Ltd., which develops, manufactures, and sells leak testing equipment to inspect airtightness and sealing performance, provides a technical document that clearly explains the methods and theories of airtight testing, titled "Technical Manual." We are offering it as a PDF file. Please take this opportunity to download and view it!
