Online CAM-Interface for Central Tool Library

   The module enables a CAM system to have online access to the central WinTool library. In a few seconds a
   NC- programmer finds a suited tool and load geometries and cutting values to his CAM tool manager. Collision 
   coints 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.

Features

Tool Access

•  New WinTool toolbar in CAM system for online data access.
•  Tool selection window with filter options for selection of tool assemblies or lists.
• Automatic transfer of tool ID, tool description, geometry and cutting data.
• Automatic 3D models for rotational tools and tool solid import for special/ non-symmetric tools (all native formats supported).

CAM Export

• Automatic generation of WinTool list from
      tools used in NC-pro-gram incl. T-No, offset
      memory, and cycle time.

Comment

• WinTool CAM-Interfaces might have different features depending on CAM system design.

Requirements

• WinTool Basis Module

Main Tasks

•  Program with exact tool geometries, 3D models,
      and cutting values.
• Specify and document realistic tool assemblies
      quickly and with available components.
• Get good tool data into CAM with minimal effort.
• Get cutting data work material related.
• Generate a tool list automatically from
      NC-program.
