Cutting Tool Webinar: Manage tools and boost your machining efficiency
OnlineNew live webinar series by Fastems and TDM Systems:
Digital tool management gives a productivity boost to automated machining
Cutting tool management that extends beyond the production planning on the shop floor is an essential success factor for flexible and highly productive machining. Knowing which tool you need, where and when – and managing all of this with minimum effort – is the theme of three live webinars hosted by Fastems and TDM Systems in January and February 2023. The webinar series presents how closely integrated systems enable a seamless tool and production data exchange, and empower automated CNC machining:
- Optimized processes & more efficient operations
- Less machine downtime
- Shorter set-up & lead times
- Cost & time savings
- Higher transparency
The LIVE webinars will demonstrate how the cutting tool solutions by TDM Systems and Fastems work together for a seamless, digital cutting tool organization both in the planning and manufacturing level, and how this boosts the shop floor productivity. Participants will have an opportunity ask questions in the live Q&A in the end of each webinar. To provide a suitable timing and language for as many manufacturers as possible, each webinar will be run in two languages and in various time zones. Register in the full webinar series here!
1st Webinar:
“Increase Your Manufacturing Efficiency with Digital Cutting Tool Data Management & Flexible CNC Automation“
The first live webinar will be held on Tuesday, January 17th, 2023, by Volker Schwegler, Solution Architect at Fastems, and Robert Auer, Director of Global Business Development at TDM Systems. The webinar presents the interface for efficient end-to-end digital tool management and showcases how the TDM software interacts with Fastems CNC automation in practice.
To manage cutting tools efficiently, you need a closed data loop where the tool planning is based on the current and future machining jobs. The systems’ tool scheduling not only tells you which tools are and will be needed by which machine, but it also shows the remaining tool life in real time. The newly acquired tool data flows back into the central tool database and is available at any time for further production planning.
This leads to an enormous productivity improvement because the automated tool data exchange eliminates errors in tool data entries and drastically reduces production setup times.
Learn in under 60 minutes…
- How to keep track of your numerous tools and their service lives with the right tool management system.
- How easily and intuitively the master data of your (complete) tools can be recorded in the TDM system (a LIVE demo with two concrete examples).
- How you can optimize the productivity of your CNC machining because the right tool – correctly mounted and measured – is always at the right machine at the right time.
- How to use your production resources more effectively and reduce tooling costs.
- How to maximize machine up-time and reduce setup times by timely providing the resources needed for production jobs.
- How to use the tool master data from the TDM system to Fastems automation software MMS for detailed planning of your production orders.
