If you’re still manually searching, checking, and entering tool specs into your CAM system — you’re losing 15+ minutes per tool. Multiply that by your daily setups, and the cost adds up fast. And that’s just the beginning!
Here’s a smarter way to handle tooling – from CAM to CNC:
✅ Search & import tool data in seconds
or spend $ 36,400/year for not using Toolsunited!
✅ Let your suppliers deliver the missing data
or spend $ 60,000/year for not using ToolsUnited
✅ Clean up your tooling inventory, cut out redundancy
or waste 20% of your tooling bill ($ 10,000 on an average $ 50,000 tooling bill per machine) on obsolete tooling for not using ToolsUnited
✅ Increase CNC Uptime, get better set ups and longer spindle time
or waste 15% machine up-time (300h/per machine each year = 57,000$ (190$ per hour) by not using ToolsUnited
CIMSOURCE
CIMSOURCE’s standards and technologies are key to synchronize the master data management of tool suppliers and the manufacturing data management of tool consumers.
Since developing Standard Open Base (StOB) in 1992, CIMSOURCE has been organizing the product databases of tool suppliers, and the tool data of manufacturing operations.
