Seamless tool cycle for automated machining processes

The challenges in production are manifold. For example, the worker spends around 20 percent of his time searching for the required tool. A lack of transparency and too many tools also account for around 20 percent of tool costs. Around 15 percent of current orders are stopped or delayed because the right tools are not available for production. Rejects caused by using the wrong tools are also a major cost factor.

TDM Systems provides high-quality tool data easily and efficiently and enables a seamless tool cycle from the tool list from the NC program, through the picking list, the warehouse and tool assembly, to presetting, loading the machine, unloading and disassembly.
