A tool management and file management system that reduces waste in machining operations! Contributing to the digital transformation of machining business processes!

WinTool is a tool management and file management system that supports the digitalization of machining business processes. It contributes to the efficiency and advancement of the entire machining operation. 【Do you have any of these issues?】 ■ Tool information is scattered within the company... ■ It takes time to create tool data and reports... ■ The inventory of in-house tools continues to increase... ■ The flow of machining operations is unclear... We resolve common problems encountered in machining operations. 【Features】 ■ Centralized management of information on cutting tools, tooling, jigs, measuring instruments, etc., which tend to be dispersed within the company ■ Supports the creation of NC programs while prioritizing tools available on NC machine tools or in storage shelves, as well as tools in stock within the company ■ Enables tracking of inventory counts by item, effective inventory counts, and outstanding orders ■ Capable of integration with tool storage systems ■ Prevents double entry of tool information, reducing the possibility of human errors *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us directly.

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

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm. Please feel free to contact us for more information!

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If you require a detailed technical explanation, please contact us.
