All SINUMERIK Integrate Manage MyTools functions are designed such that they can operate on a single machine or within networked, interconnected systems, e.g., they can display an overview of all actual tool data on a single machine or a central control system.

Range of functions:

• Actual tool data
• Service life can be varied from 10 to 100 %
• Lock tool, tool details
• Import/export file interface
• Tool transfer

Thanks to the consistent design as a client-server solution and the use of communication mechanisms, it is possible to vary the distribution of the modules in the network and to access them from any position. This means up-to-date information can always be accessed wherever it is needed.

The SINUMERIK Integrate Manage MyTools interfaces have been designed to run and operate both on a SINUMERIK platform (function keys) and on a PC platform (pull-down menus).

The following functions are available:

• Availability of actual tool data throughout the network
• Operator-prompted loading and unloading with TO data import from the tool setting station
• Planning of tool demand based on current magazine assignment
• Statistical evaluations of tool use
• Interface for connecting external management systems
• All available functions combined on a single server and network-wide operation of client-based interfaces
• Stand-alone, non-network-compatible function package for tool planning and connection to tool setting stations
