All SINUMERIK Integrate for production Manage MyTools functions are designed so 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.

Scope of functions of single, non-networked machines

• Actual tool data
• Service life can be varied from 10 to 100%
• Block tool and 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 that up-to-date information can always be accessed wherever it is needed.

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
