If you are a Die Mold Shop – You need Workshop Manager to really automate your shop

WSM – WorkShopManager

Integration is the key to unlocking the full potential of your workshop

   User-friendly – necessary data are entered quickly and in a structured manner

   Quick, precise overview of the entire process chain

   Increased flexibility – the order of priority can be changed at any time

   Simpler, safer preparation of automatic cells. Information about workpieces, magazine positions, offset values and NC programs is always available.

   The risk of errors due to the human factor is minimised.

   Generates shorter lead times

   Increased process security.

Seamless integration of all your machining applications

Bring all your production technologies together in one process chain

Keep your production running with standardized procedures

Manage your automation processes

Grows with your demand

Designed for your future – adding new machines and options is no problem

Central database for the entire factory.

Workflow

Preparation – WorkCenter

   Create an order

   Assign operations and NC programs

   Retrieve offset values

   Release the order for production.

Execution – CellManager

   Manages the pallet ID codes and magazine positions

   Creates priority lists

   Automatically starts available jobs in the order of the priority list

   Updates the information in the database with the status and machining times of individual orders.

 

Monitoring – CellMonitor

   Display status of all cells

   Display status of individual machines and processes

   Statistic – Cell Statistic

   Retrieve and analyze cell utilization data

   Retrieve and analyze order data.

Preparation

All information about the machining’s are created in WorkCenter and stored in the central database.

A manufacturing order exists of:

   Operation list for one or several machining’s

   NC programs for the operations

   Documents linked to the operations

   Pallet identity

   Offset values

WorkCenter does not produce its own data; it compiles information for every machining operation.

Documents

Documents – machining instructions, reports, images, etc. – can be linked to every operation.

   No searching for information

   The information is linked to the right machining operation.

Linked orders

Linking electrode manufacturing with the EDM operation minimises the risk of mistakes.

   The right electrode for the right EDM operation

   High process safety.

Identification system

An RFID transponder is the link between the manufacturing order and the object on the database.

   Ensures correct machining operation

   Enables tracking of work pieces and electrodes.

CMM integration

   Integration to the most common measuring machines

   Reduces the risk of data entry errors.

BatchBuilder – Execution

   Creating a complete machining execution of several individual orders.

   Generates a main program with associated subprograms

   Transferred to the machine and executed – from the beginning to the end.

Preparation – WorkCenter

   Create an order

   Assign operations and NC programs

   Retrieve offset values

   Release the order for production.

Reporting

   Export of reports such as machining time per part.

Option – planning system integration

   Import data to WorkCenter

   Execute the machining’s

   Export data to planning system.

Execution

CellManager manages the entire robot cell, handling all necessary data automatically. The cell is controlled entirely from the screen.

   Starts the robot’s ID cycle.

   Manages the pallet ID codes and magazine positions.

   Displays the magazine content graphically.

   Creates priority lists.

   Automatically starts available jobs in the order of the priority list.

   Updates the information in the database with the status and machining times of individual orders.

Manually loaded machines

   Chaotic loading of a pallets on table chucks

   Manual scanning of the pallets

   CellManager creates a priority list

   The job sequence can be changed while the machine is working

   Job data is stored in the database.

Robot-loaded machines

   Chaotic loading of the magazines

   Automatic scanning of the magazine

   CellManager creates a priority list

   The job sequence can be changed while machine is working

   Job data is stored in the database

   The pallets can be removed from the magazine and new can be loaded while the machine is working.

Easy to change priorities

The order of priority of jobs can be changed while the machine is working.

Easy to insert new jobs

Finished work pieces can be removed from the magazine and new pallets loaded, while the machine is working.

Option – Cutter Tool Monitoring (CTM)

   Checks that all cutting tools that are needed for the milling operations are available before machining starts.

Option – automatic electrode selection (AES)

   Automatically chooses the best electrode for the machining operation.

   Used to limit the number of electrodes when producing identical workpieces.

Option – Alarm Server

Alarm messages from the machine and the robot can be transferred via e-mail or SMS.

Monitoring

Job status and machining times are recorded and stored in the database.

Reports such as machining time per workpiece can be generated and transferred to a planning system.
