DP Technology (Camarillo, CA), maker of ESPRIT computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software, announced that DATOS has released a WinTool add-in for ESPRIT 2008 that provides end users with direct access to the cutting-tool management capabilities of the WinTool Cutting Tool Management System.
The WinTool system allows users to centrally manage tooling libraries and cutting conditions, and makes these libraries available to a variety of users throughout the shop. For ESPRIT, WinTool will automatically generate precise 3D representations of the cutting-tool assemblies for simulation within the CAM system.
The WinTool add-in for ESPRIT is designed to improve the ease of use in tool management and machine setup. Using the WinTool system, ESPRIT programmers now have full access to the tool crib, while machine operators receive professional instructions for tool setup generated by the WinTool system. Because data can simultaneously be transferred to preset gauges, the occurrence of tooling problems and machining standstills are significantly reduced.
