Visualize the usage information and location of tools in the machining workshop. Achieve appropriate tool installation on machine tools and reduce setup time with proper tool information management!
The efficiency of machine processing work in the manufacturing field, including tool setup and machine setup, begins with visualizing the location of all assembly tools present in the workspace, such as tool magazines and tool racks. By utilizing WinTool (tool management system), we shorten the time required to understand the status of tools, display the tool list for the relevant NC program, and carry out checks and adjustments for the tool installation plan. Information on tool life, the availability of tool components in stock, and alternative tool suggestions are displayed to support the development of appropriate tool installation plans. Additionally, a tool installation list for the machine tools is generated to promote error-free operations by the operators. By leveraging WinTool, we reduce downtime of machine tools caused by issues related to tools and tooling, while also decreasing errors in machine processing work, contributing to increased operating time of machine tools.
