Interface TDM - ZOLLER

The interface TDM presetting systems supports the provision of nominal data and measuring program parameters for various presetting systems. The nominal data of the tools to be measured are available directly in the setting system. The measured actual data are transmitted to TDM again. Functions: - Transfer of tool parameters for tool assemblies (nominal data) from TDM to the presetting device - Transfer of the data about the tool holders from TDM to the presetting device - Re-transfer of actual measured data to TDM by tool or for all tools on a tool list - The interface enables correct tool preparation and the measurement of the tools within the specified tolerances - The systems communicate via direct database communication - The measured actual tool data is stored in TDM and is available for the manufacturing process - Retransfer of the tools planned in the NC program in the form of tool lists to TDM (basis for tool provisioning) - Provision of tool lists in the NC program, to perform functions such as programming part families with standardized tools for optimized setup Benefits: - Tool planning from start to finish, from NC programming to machining - Save time thanks to available nominal tool data - Reduction of machine downtimes and preventing damage through electronic generation of the machine-specific tool offsets based on the actual tool data (option)

Connecting the KELCH presetting device with TDM guarantees correct preparation and measurement in the specified tolerance range of the tools. Functions: - Nominal data of tool assemblies, tool lists, holder/adapter are transferred to the tool presetting device from the TDM database - Measurements of actual data are transferred either per tool or per complete tool group from the tool presetting device back to TDM in the form of tool lists Benefits: - Direct connection to the database - No duplicate data - Continuous process flow from planning via NC-programming to machining, which increases productivity - Reduction of production times and costs - Machine downtimes, scrap and damages are reduced because of the electronic generation of special tool offsets

Connecting the OMEGA presetting device with TDM guarantees correct preparation and measurement in the specified tolerance range of the tools. Functions: - Nominal data of tool assemblies, tool lists, holder/adapter are transferred to the tool presetting device from the TDM database - Measurements of actual data are transferred either per tool or per complete work group from the tool presetting device back to TDM in the form of tool lists Benefits: - Direct connection to the database - No duplicate data - Continuous process flow from planning via NC-programming to machining, which increases productivity - Reduction of production times and costs - Machine downtimes, scrap and damages are reduced because of the electronic generation of special tool offsets

The interface transfers data vom tool assemblies and tool lists from the TDM-database to the Speroni presetter. After measuring, the actual data gets retransfered to TDM per tool or per tool groups. The correct preparation of the tool and the measuring in the tolerance range is ensured by the interface. Double data storage and an incorrect presetting of the nominal tool data are impossible because of the connection from Speroni to TDM. Through less error sources from incorrect data transfer, a reduction of machine downtimes can be reached and with a consistent tool planning time and cost can be saved.
