Tool management system WinTool has updated its interface with NX-CAM.

Would you like to utilize the tool data from the WinTool integrated tool library in the CAM system while managing tool information at the machining site?

The WinTool Integrated Tool Library centrally manages tool data used within the company, including combinations of cutting tools, tooling, collets, and managing DXF contours and 3D models. NC programmers can access the WinTool Integrated Tool Library from their CAM systems, allowing them to create NC programs while selecting tool data. By properly managing tool data, it prevents situations where work must be halted due to incorrect tool data during CAM operations. Users of CAM will benefit from the advantages unique to WinTool, such as the ability to quickly identify resident tools on NC machine tools and stocked tools on tool shelves, as well as expedited arrangements through prior confirmation of the availability of inserts, cutting tools, and tooling. This is especially useful when multiple CAM systems are used within the company.

Centralized management of cutting tool information and tooling information that tends to be dispersed within the company!

With the trend of small-lot production of various types and production of different variations, the number and types of tools handled are increasing, leading to potential bottlenecks in machining due to tool-related issues. Utilizing WinTool (tool management system) to build a unique integrated tool library for your company is the first step towards resolving these bottlenecks. By constructing an integrated tool library, information accessed by cross-departmental personnel such as manufacturing planners, NC programmers, machining site personnel, and purchasing staff will be centralized. This will facilitate easier information sharing among stakeholders and promote smooth communication between departments through reference to a single source. Additionally, for example, it will be possible to trace information from various search criteria to tool lists, assembly tool data, and tool component data, allowing for quick access to the desired tool data and significantly improving the time spent searching for information. Furthermore, by recording and storing cutting condition data, you can derive suitable performance information from the tool information you manage, enabling effective use of this information in future NC projects.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily understandable at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

The wooden lightweight sheet "Hyper CLT Sheet," utilizing CLT (Cross Laminated Timber), is a sponsor of the Masters Koshien (Okayama).
