Matsue Mountain Metal Co., Ltd. has achieved centralized management of tool information used in machining operations by utilizing WinTool!

Case study of WinTool implementation at Matsue Yamahon Metal Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shimane Prefecture [Problems Before Implementation] - From the management's overall perspective, there were many inefficiencies in business operations. - Tool data and information with overlapping content were entered into various systems and Excel. [Challenges Before Implementation] - Once tool information is entered, the same tool information should not be entered into other systems. [WinTool Implementation] - Construction of an integrated tool library - Integration with CAM systems - Tool inventory management - Integration with tool presetters - Tool setup management [Implementation Effects] - Consistency of data and information across multiple departments - Reduction of man-hours spent entering duplicate information in each system - Reduction of time spent searching for data and information

Cataracts are a common condition that significantly impacts daily life, causing many people to struggle. However, cataract surgery can restore or greatly improve patients' vision. KNF vacuum pumps are an essential component of the medical devices used for such precise surgeries. KNF offers a diverse lineup of diaphragm pumps for cataract surgery. For debris removal, the N 813 is a strong option. It achieves a maximum vacuum of 0.5 mbar (absolute), a maximum flow rate of 13 l/min, and a maximum pressure of 0.3 bar (relative). The N 813 provides stable, reliable performance with a compact design. It can be equipped with a customizable state-of-the-art BLDC motor that enables precise flow control. Its configuration and motor allow for low-speed operation, ensuring the necessary flow rate and vacuum for cataract surgery while reducing noise and vibration.
