Carry the product’s construction through to the machines.
Machine data connects parts, cutting dimensions and operations with factory equipment. Integration starts with your actual machines.
Keep product choices connected to machining
A drilling operation, cut or profile joint belongs to the product’s construction. Tomstok’s machine data builds on the same parts and operations used for visualisation and bills of materials.
This provides a consistent basis for taking the selected construction towards factory equipment. A changed dimension can be traced to the affected part and the machining it needs.
Match the handover to the task
A cutting list for a saw and a CNC program for a machining centre have different requirements. Tomstok distinguishes order and list exports from machine-specific machining programs.
List exports can be adapted through formats and fields. A CNC program also needs knowledge of the machine family, tools and workholding. We therefore work through the connection with you and the relevant machine partners.
- Order and list data
Cutting lists, parts and information for the equipment’s order workflow.
- Machining programs
Machine-specific translation of operations and geometry.
Formats and equipment are agreed for each integration.
Plan cutting across production orders
A part’s calculated length and the best allocation across raw stock are different pieces of information. Bar-stock optimisation allocates cuts across a production batch when material comes in fixed lengths.
This creates a basis for improving material utilisation across production. The original product dimensions remain the reference; the actual cutting plan belongs to execution.
Start with the equipment that matters to you
We start with your machinery and an agreed production scope. Available formats, access to machine documentation and validation needs determine the relevant integration path.
Support for a particular machine is agreed and tested individually. MES has a different role: following status and actual execution once work begins.
