And (3) processing of the recovered cutter: the cutter body and the cutter handle which are not used temporarily after the cutter is recovered are placed on a temporary cutter rest; scanning and selecting to scrap the unusable and renovated cutter body before disassembly, and recording the whole process (scrap information) from warehousing to scrap by software; scanning and selecting to renew the cutter body before dismantling, wherein the cutter body is worn or broken corners cannot be machined again, but other parts are in good condition of renewing, and then putting the cutter body into a box for containing the renewed cutter to be treated uniformly; for cutter bodies which do not need to be detached and can be used, when the cutter bodies are used again, only the cutter bodies need to be scanned and selected for distribution uniformly after being detected, software can store the information of the cutter body processing additionally, and the software can know whether the cutter bodies are new cutters or reused cutters by checking the distribution times; for the conditions that the cutter can be used but other cutter bodies need to be disassembled and clamped, before disassembly, the code scanning of the cutter handle is selected for disassembly, and the software stores and separates the binding information of the data used by the cutter body so as to reuse the cutter handle.

9. And (3) replacing the cutter, namely, providing the original cutter for two-dimensional code scanning, selecting and recycling during cutter replacement, wherein the software can automatically store the processing information of the cutter, judging whether the cutter is scrapped or continuously used for semi-finishing or roughing according to the abrasion condition of the cutter and carrying out corresponding treatment, and selecting and delivering after the cutter replacement detection is finished, so that the software can automatically cover the position of the original cutter.

10. And (3) monitoring the cutters, namely, when the clamped tools need to be spot checked, inquiring the machine tool where the cutter is located in the database, and inquiring the residual quantity and the type of the cutter body of each machine tool through software when the cutter is recovered.

11. Lead-out management of special tools: the measuring tool mainly has 2 types: the first place is that the operator takes out the cutter and uses the plug gauge and borrows the measuring tool, and this part is mostly to use the cutter to replace under the condition that the plug gauge can not detect. When the operator needs to borrow the tool or the measuring tool, the operator firstly scans the two-dimensional code of the tool or the measuring tool and selects to distribute the two-dimensional code in the software record lender, and when the operator returns the tool, the operator scans the tool and then selects to recover the tool; the second place is the cutter that the deep hole drill led out, it is mainly that the gun drill is the owner, and the gun drill also can refer to the cutter and the same printing mark of handle of a knife, and it can to scan input the borrower and select the delivery when taking out the gun drill. When the borrowed cutter is not returned for more than 3 days, the software can send out a prompt so as to timely retrieve the lost article. There are two main types of blade leading-out: respectively loading and unloading and replacing, wherein the loading and unloading is a new blade or a replaced blade when a clamping worker loads a cutter, and the method comprises the steps that the clamping worker firstly takes out the whole box of blades from the intelligent storage cabinet 2, firstly scans codes of a program list and a blade box when the blades are used, and inputs the number of the required blades; and the replacement and delivery are realized by the steps that an outside operator needs to replace the delivery of a new blade when the blade is processed and scrapped, and the name of the operator is selected after the blade box is scanned and delivered.

The foregoing has described the general principles, essential features, and advantages of the application.
