Accurate tool data for maximum process reliability: Anyone walking through the production halls at the Dieffenbacher machine and plant engineering company's headquarters in Eppingen, south-western Germany, is impressed by two things – the very large size of some of the machining facilities for machining individual workpieces, and the very high number of parts produced in-house. This is because the company manufactures most of the metal items needed to produce machines and systems itself. This results in a correspondingly large number of machining processes, some of which are very different. Many workpieces that are machined at Dieffenbacher are particularly large or are characterized by their complex shapes. A considerable number of special tools are used for this purpose. To ensure that the company's tool and tool data management can keep pace with the growing complexity of its tool inventory, Dieffenbacher has been using TDM Global Line since 2021, which clearly benefits process stability and tool management.
