What is Total Tool Management?

ETW, based in Wisconsin, is dedicated to the manufacturing of both standard and custom tooling, employing a wide range of tools within our machining departments. Each tool assembly undergoes careful reproduction in our CAD/CAM software through user-defined templates, ensuring precise part simulations. With the ability for programmers to quickly program parts and select tools from the CAM library with a single click, the need to recreate tools for every use is eliminated, significantly accelerating the workflow. Whenever possible, we favor standard tools since they are often already set up in the machines, which helps reduce setup times. Non-standard tools are reserved for essential scenarios, further aiding in streamlining the setup process. To boost tooling efficiency and effectively track usage, ETW has developed a proprietary software known as Total Tool Management (TTM), which monitors the tools used across all machines and projects. Each assembly and component is meticulously cataloged within a centralized database, allowing for quick searches for any specific component or assembly. This innovative strategy not only enhances our tooling processes but also leads to a notable increase in overall productivity. In addition, the implementation of TTM fosters a culture of continuous improvement and responsiveness to changing project needs.

What is NX CAM?

NX CAM is Siemens advanced computer-aided manufacturing software built to help manufacturers maximize machining performance and improve the entire part production process. It combines CAD and CAM capabilities in one environment so teams can prepare part models, define machine setups, generate toolpaths, simulate operations, and output production-ready CNC programs. The software helps automate NC programming through feature-based machining, allowing users to create operations for common features quickly and reduce manual input. NX CAM supports prismatic parts, mold and die machining, electrode manufacturing, freeform parts, complex components, multi-axis machining, and high-precision production workflows. Its advanced toolpath strategies include high-speed multi-axis roughing, smooth high-feed finishing, and optimized machining operations that can improve surface quality and extend tool life. Integrated G-code-driven simulation allows users to validate machine tool motion, identify potential collisions or errors, and optimize machining before running programs on physical CNC machines. The platform also includes on-machine probing to support accurate workpiece alignment, part inspection, adaptive control, tool wear detection, and breakage adjustment. Cloud-connected tool libraries help teams manage cutting tools, preview tool data, and import information from vendor catalogs to improve programming efficiency. Post Hub provides cloud-based postprocessing with more than 1,000 postprocessors for generating G-code tailored to specific machine configurations. NX X Manufacturing extends the platform with cloud-based CAD/CAM solutions, scalable add-ons, and collaboration through Teamcenter Share. With capabilities for machining, additive manufacturing, metrology, production line planning, robotics, and digital manufacturing, NX CAM helps organizations reduce programming time, shorten cycle times, improve part quality, and connect design to production.
