Organizations in need of a modular software solution to holistically support the tool management process

About ToolDIRECTOR VM

ToolDIRECTOR VM - uniform and central tool process CAM, NC simulation, presetting, warehouse, procurement, logistics. COSCOM ToolDIRECTOR VM is a modular software solution that holistically supports the tool management process. Integrated data processes from NC programming to tool presetting and to the CNC machine tool are implemented in the shop floor IT. Existing systems such as ERP and PLM are taken into account and warehouse / logistics systems are integrated into the data process. Based on a tool component management system, complete tools for the turning and milling area are assembled. The resulting 3D tool graphics can be used in a wide variety of CAD / CAM and simulation systems. The TCI technology enables a unique, universal data management, even when using different CAD / CAM and simulation systems in the company. COSCOM ToolDIRECTOR supports you in the area of ​​setup optimization, availability assurance and tool cost reduction.

Total Tool Management
Total Tool Management
ETW - based in Wisconsin - is a manufacturer of standard and custom tooling and we use a large variety of tools in our machining areas. Each tool assembly is replicated in our CAD/CAM application with user-defined templates to ensure proper part simulation. Programmers can easily program parts and select a tool from the CAM library with a simple click without having to create the tool each time it is needed. Standard tools used whenever possible as they often remain loaded in the machines to reduce setup time. Non-standard tools used only when unavoidable, thus eliminating unnecessary tool setups. To further more efficient tooling and accurately track usage, ETW has developed its own software - Total Tool Management (TTM) - that manages tools for all our machines and jobs. Every assembly and component is stored in a central database with the option to search for any single component or assembly for quick and easy reference.
