Cutting Tool Webinar: Error-Free Operation with Tool and NC Program Data Management
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!
2nd Webinar:
“First Time Right in Cutting Tool & NC Program Planning Guarantees Error-Free and Highly Productive Machining“
The second webinar on January 31st, 2023 will showcase how to boost production efficiency by simplifying and accelerating the new workpiece and cutting tool introduction.
The uniform TDM tool database includes all the tool information regarding NC programming, warehouse management, assembly and presetting. When the tool data is transferred to Fastems CNC automation, it can schedule the use of every tool in different machines. This way (1) the data system and operator always have the latest NC and tool data available, (2) sister tools are faster and easier to build, and (3) the whole production can develop further based on the machining experiences from each tool and job.
Learn in under 60 minutes…
- How to increase productivity in your production with uniform and standardized tool data (i.e. cutter 4711 is always cutter 4711).
- How a uniform data flow and corresponding software modules support you efficiently in your planning and production process.
- How to increase your process reliability by better tool data and planning.
- How to simplify your tool requirement determination for NC jobs (the tools on the machine are identical to the information in the NC program).
- How you gain more transparency over your entire tool stock and always know the service life of each tool.
- How to optimize the utilization of your resources and realize high reproducibility thanks to tool data management.
