Abstract
The method for data exchange during control of processing of a complete tool, which includes a tool holder and a tool, in an integrated/linked processing environment with at least one instrument for mounting the tool into the tool holder and/or a balancing instrument and/or a presetting instrument provides that a superordinate manufacturing planning/control for manufacturing a component communicates processing data for processing the complete tool, in particular a tool list and/or device sheets, to a processing management system. The processing management system then communicates work instructions/data ascertained using the processing data to the instruments of the integrated/linked processing environment.
Claims24
A method for data exchange during control of processing of a complete tool having a tool holder and a tool in an integrated and linked processing environment, the method comprising:
- providing at least one instrument for mounting the tool into the tool holder selected from the group consisting of a shrink fit instrument, a balancing instrument, and a presetting instrument, in a manufacturing process for manufacturing a component with the complete tool and with optional further machines and automation components in an integrated manufacturing environment;
- communicating, by a superordinate manufacturing planning and control system for manufacturing the component, processing data for processing the complete tool selected from a tool list or device sheets, to a processing management system;
- and
- communicating, by the processing management system, work instructions and data ascertained using the processing data to instruments of the integrated and linked processing environment.
A processing management system for data exchange during control of processing of a complete tool having a tool holder and a tool in an integrated and linked processing environment with at least one instrument for mounting the tool into the tool holder, the at least one instrument being selected from the group consisting of a shrink fit instrument, a balancing instrument, and a presetting instrument, in an automated and/or digitized manufacturing process for manufacturing a component using the complete tool with optionally further machines and automation components of an integrated manufacturing environment, the processing management system being configured in such a way that:
- using processing data for processing the complete tool, in particular a tool list and/or device sheets, communicated by a superordinate manufacturing planning/control for manufacturing a component, work instructions or data are ascertainable;
- and
- the work instructions or data are communicable to the instruments of the integrated and linked processing environment.
