With precise tool data management, you can avoid sources of error and increase the efficiency of your production – and we have the ideal software solution to help. With the tool data module in Gühring Tool Management Software (GTMS), you can optimise your setup times and accurately calculate costs per component.
Many companies have no uniform data on their complete tools or other composite manufacturing apparatus. The design team doesn’t have an overview of the tools actually used as there is no link to the tool data management solution. What’s more, it is impossible to pre-set tools because there is no way to access the stock levels of individual components. All calibration data has to be typed in manually on the pre-setting device?– a typical source of error.
However, recording information on tool wear, etc., can offer clear advantages. Over the long term, for example, average tool lives can be determined, which is very helpful for cost calculation. Problems can also be identified more quickly if the reasons for the tool change cycle are documented digitally. This means that software such as Gühring Tool Management Software (GTMS) offers genuine advantages in tool data management.
Tool data module – Reliable information on every tool
The GTMS tool data module leads to increased efficiency and process optimisation in your production. With the stored parameters, you can optimise set-up times and enjoy full transparency at all times when it comes to tool requirements and production costs per component. By avoiding media interruptions, you also avoid typical sources of error.
How GTMS can help you with tool data management:
- Log tools and their components along with all parameters for assembly and adjustment
- Remove the required tools directly by selecting the manufacturing process
- Component management: Record, evaluate and analyse costs per component
- Manage tool usage according to use, tool life, early warning limits
- Register need for tool change cycles and process with requirement dates
- Record and analyse wear data with causes for wear and tool life data
