Description

ETW, located in Wisconsin, specializes in manufacturing both standard and custom tooling, utilizing a diverse array of tools within our machining departments. Each tool assembly is meticulously reproduced in our CAD/CAM software using user-defined templates to guarantee accurate part simulations. Programmers can swiftly program parts and select tools from the CAM library with just a click, eliminating the need to recreate tools each time they are required. Whenever feasible, standard tools are employed as they often remain installed in the machines, thereby minimizing setup times. Non-standard tools are reserved for unavoidable situations, which helps streamline the setup process. To enhance tooling efficiency and accurately monitor usage, ETW has created a proprietary software called Total Tool Management (TTM), which oversees the tools utilized across all our machines and projects. Every assembly and component is cataloged in a centralized database, providing the capability to search for any specific component or assembly for quick and convenient access. This innovative approach not only optimizes our tooling processes but also significantly improves productivity across the board.
