TOOL MANAGEMENT

Central tool logistic automation is a system for centrally delivering and managing cutting tools for CNC machines. It enables the use of small tool magazines, eliminates human errors and reduces capital investment in tools. Machine control integration enables a machine tool to start machining even if all the required tools are not in its magazine. Only the first tools to be used in the NC program must be loaded. Tool automation delivers the rest during machining.

Full tool life utilizationThe automated tool logistic system provides full tool life utilization. The tools are transported for maintenance at just the right time – not too early, not too late.

Larger amount of tools availableIf your production requires more tools than the number of spaces in the tool magazine, automat-ed tool storage relieves your shop floor operators of repetitive tool carrying tasks. By equipping the machine tools with smaller tool magazines you also reduce investment costs.

Tool usage simulationFastems MMS5 software simulates optimal work queues for your machine tools. This functionality also applies to the cutting tools, so with tool automation you can minimize the amount of tools needed and calculate precisely what will happen next. You don’t need to reserve all tools required for a specific job and machine tool at the beginning of a machining process.

CTS is based on separate tool magazine container with storage robot. Tools are transferred to machine tools with one or two tool loading robot(s).

Share tools between CNC machinesIt’s possible to reduce the number of identical tools to help cut down the total amount of tools used, without sacrificing production flexibility. This is especially helpful with expensive, specialized cutting tools.

Real time information of needed toolsMMS5 tool management streamlines the flow of information. It eliminates paper work for tool difference listings or tool replacements needed for upcoming days. Plus you have full integration with the FMS control, including priorities and standardized interfaces with many presetting devices.

Extend your lights out production periodWhen cutting tools are no longer a production bottleneck, you can extend your lights out production period even further.

GTS system has one robot which takes care of the tool storage and transfer of tools into machine tools. Tool storage is located above machine tools' tool magazines.

Page 11: Factory automation systems 2016

Robotic autoloadingWith robotic autoloading you can make your FMS capable of large-scale serial manufacturing in an effective way. By storing the materials in your FMS, you can automate your process from material management to ready parts. At the same time, the FMS control system minimizes the need to keep parts in stock and completes the needed parts just on time.

Robotized deburring and finishingRobotics solution enables finishing, deburring, milling and heavy duty grinding applications. It ensures consistent quality and productivity, and improves work safety and ergonomics.

Robotized machine tendingBy adding a robotized machine tool tending cell into your FMS, you can integrate lathes and various other types of machines into your system. This automates the material flow and keeps your machines running.
