Efficiently transferring latest tool data to the presetting device, and returning measuring results
The TDM-KELCH interface transfers geometries and parameters of tool assemblies (nominal data) from TDM directly to the KELCH presetting device. This allows the operator to use actual "live" data at the presetter when building and presetting tools, and the data is consistent across any number of connected presetting machines. After measuring, the actual measured values are transferred back to TDM for further processing or analysis. This forms the basis for tool provision in the manufacturing tool cycle.
Further functions of the interface TDM-KELCH interface
Thanks to the interface between the KELCH system and TDM, proper preparation and exact measurement can be assured - within the requested tolerances - exactly as used by the NC programmer at the time the program is created.
Functions:
- Direct database-to-database communications
- Supports Oracle and MS SQL database systems
- Data transfer of tool assemblies and tool lists from TDM database to KELCH EASY measuring software
- Retransfer of the measured actual data to TDM per tool or for all tools of a tool list
- Tool selection filtered by current spindle adaptor at the presetter
- Tool drawing from TDM automatically displayed on the presetter measuring screen
Save time & money by using real tool data!
- No data redundancy or misalignment of tool data between systems
- Presetting with correct nominal data from TDM
- Increased productivity by consistent tool planning from NC programming to the machining
- Time and money savings
- Reduction of machine downtimes, less scrap and avoidance of damages by electronic generation of machine specific tool offsets based on actual tool data (optional)
