The Tool Advisor uses a rules-based approach to provide cutting tool recommendations based on machining features (e.g., shoulder, pocket, blind hole, etc.), and their requirements (e.g., geometric, material, tolerance, etc.) while considering machining sequences (e.g., single operation, rough then finish, or multi-step operations).

NOVO™ then ranks these results based on proprietary WIDIA knowledge to best meet the challenges of the application as defined by customer requirements, operating environment, and user preferences.

The Tool Selector in the application provides users with a method of selecting cutting tools from a tree structure either via a hierarchy or parametric search. If a customer knows exactly which product they are looking for, a Quick Search can be performed by providing either a catalog number or product description.

By using a system of “smart” filters or attributes, NOVO™ can significantly reduce the amount of potential products that are available to do the job. NOVO™ smart filters take the task of selecting all cutting tool components from hours to minutes.

After the tool item is selected, NOVO™ also provides cutting and adaptive item options that fit with that particular solution.

Once a tool is added to the list, the Tool Configurator is automatically activated.

Utilizing “fits-with” and “works-with” knowledge, the configurator provides assembled 3D models of components in real-time, compatible with most CAD-CAM systems, that are available for download at the click of a button.

Job Functionality is a cloud-based repository that is linked to a user via a unique ID. Previous tool lists can be stored here for future use, accessed via multiple types of devices, and edited, copied, and shared with others.

Tool lists created by the user can be easily downloaded into attractive, standard reports and can include information such as:

• dimensional data and various weights used
• feeds and speeds
• pictures and models

Tool lists that are shared will automatically be added to a receiver’s job list on the cloud, and can be converted into a shopping cart for purchasing via Konnect. Reports can be copied and pasted into enterprise resource planning (ERP), manufacturing execution systems (MES), or other software-based applications as necessary.
