WanaGO

The MTE module includes a feature called WanaGO (Workshop Analysis) that automates machine selection. This process considers the part's programming, required tools, and workshop data. The core concept is to program a part without specifying tools or a machine. WanaGO then analyzes available machines to find the best fit.

To use WanaGO:

1. Click the "Machine" tab, then press the "GO" button.

WanaGO performs a two-step analysis:

• Kinematics: Compares the machine's capabilities with the part's requirements.

• Tooling: Matches available machine tools with the part's tool needs.

Machine Selection:

• Scans the machine directory for compatible options based on machining type (turning or milling), spindle usage, and axis requirements.

• Compares part tools to the machine's fixed tools, identifying exact matches and potential substitutes.

• Filters machine options based on stock availability, ensuring only machines that match the available stock are displayed.

In essence, WanaGO simplifies machine selection by assessing both machine capabilities and tool availability.
