ESPRIT Interface makes tool data easy
A
Somatech product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team
Oct 23, 2006
Tool data management software is now available with ESPRIT interface, which allows the user to start WinTool from within ESPRIT and pass tool data easily and quickly.
Datos, the author of WinTool Tool Data Management (TDM), has announced the availability of the ESPRIT Interface for WinTool Professional.
This bidirectional interface allows the user to start WinTool from within ESPRIT and pass tool component and assembly data easily and quickly.
With WinTool Professional you establish a very powerful central tool library and access data integrated within the ESPRIT user interface.
For each NC-operation you pick the best suited tool available, import tool geometries, cutting conditions, and generate automatically a precise 3D model for simulation.
Through total tool management clarification of cutting and collision lengths, profile radius, etc as well as logistics are presented within seconds.
WinTool generates automatically a detailed tool list of a NC-program that can be printed on customized reports for tool crib, pre-setting, and purchasing including graphics and barcodes.
By tightly integrating CAM into TDM the benefits are gained through centralising tool data, tool availability, cutting data and technology know how for each tool and material ensuring that the right tool and driving parameters are selected.
The entire details on tooling are automatically detailed including shop floor documentation and can be passed error free in both directions and be accessed by anyone authorised to do so.
Reduction in tooling inventory and mistakes in creating tool data along with the time to create that data are all improvements seen with existing implementations.
A demonstration showing the integration of the two solutions is available upon request.
