Precision is a cardinal virtue in metal cutting. Every time a tool assembly is put together it is followed by presetting: The tools only go to the machine after they have been measured. But what happens to the measurement data? In cooperation with Parlec, the leading American provider of solutions & services for tool holder systems, boring and tapping tools as well as presetting systems, TDM System ensures that these data are not lost. A new interface optimizes tool measurement: The TDM Tool Database was integrated into the setup procedures of the Parlec system. The data from the measured tools are saved in TDM and can be transferred to the machine via data storage media such as chip systems, RFID or 2D matrix codes. In so doing, two experienced system partners enable tool data to be optimally transferred to the machine for setup procedures. TDM looks forward to continued constructive collaboration with the new value-added reseller Parlec.
