The interface TDM – presetting systems supplies various setting devices with correct cutting tool data: Both measuring program parameters and the nominal data of the cutting tools to be measured are available directly in the setting device at the right time. After measuring, the interface sends the actual values back to TDM.

Efficiently transferring data to the presetting device via presetter interfaces

The interface transfers tool parameters of tool assemblies (nominal data) from TDM directly to the presetting device. This allows the user to send the data for the toolholders from TDM to the presetting device. Re-transferring actual measured data to TDM for each tool or for all cutting tools on a tool list is simple. This is the basis for tool provision.

Further functions of the interface TDM – presetting systems

The interface enables correct tool preparation and tool measurement within the specified tolerances
The user therefore communicates via direct database communication
The interface stores the actual measured tool data in TDM, making the data directly available for the production process

How important are TDM presetter interfaces in Tool Data Management?

A consistent Tool Lifecycle Management makes tool data and graphics available in the planning and production systems used at a machining company. TDM integrates these systems, allows data to flow and enables optimum processes. Tool data can move a lot. To do this, it must get to the right systems at the right time.

We are your interface to presetting devices – our advantages are impressive

The interface for presetting devices offers continuous tool planning, from NC programming through to machining. This increases productivity.

The nominal tool data, which is always available, saves time.

The interface solution optimizes processes. The user can reduce machine downtimes. At the same time, they can prevent damage by electronically generating the machine-specific tool offsets based on the actual tool data (option).

TDM interface examples for various presetting devices

Consistent tool data reduces time and costs. Individual information on tool assemblies and toolholder data from the TDM database is transferred via interfaces to the presetting device used. The interface prepares cutting tools correctly and measures them within the specified tolerances. Just as the NC programmer used them when creating the program.
