Online CAM-Interface for Central Tool Library
The CAM Interface Module enables a CAM system to have online access to the central WinTool library. In a few seconds a NC-programmer finds the suited tools and loads geometries and cutting conditions to his CAM tool manager. Collision points and adjustment settings can be verified and a 3D tool assembly model will be automatically generated. For a finished NC-program the CAM module writes the tool list back to WinTool. On the shop floor the list can immediately be accessed or printed including tool graphics and detailed setup instructions.
Main Tasks
- Specify and document realistic tool assemblies quickly and with available components.
- Select best suited tool and get accurate tool data into CAM with minimal effort.
- Generate the tool list automatically from NC-program and use it for tool setup.
Your Benefit
- Online access to real tool data shared with tool crib and engineering.
- Get 3D models with little effort and check all programs for collisions.
- Make detailed tool setup documentation/files automatically available online.
