Cutting Tool Webinar: Automated Tool Transfers Enable High CNC Machine Utilization
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!
3rd Live Webinar:
“Fully Automated Transfers of Tools for High MC Utilization”
The final live webinar on February 14th, 2023 focuses on integrating the customer’s factory-wide ERP/MES systems with TDM and Fastems systems, resulting in predictive and intelligent tool automation in metal-cutting production.
This webinar presents how MMS (1) efficiently receives production orders from the customer’s ERP, (2) manages production resources such as NC programs, part data, tools, pallets, and fixtures based on production orders; and (3) schedules production for months in advance. In those cases where the tool demand is high, the physical tool deliveries to CNC machines can also be automated – lowering the need for sister tools and allowing for long unmanned machining periods even with short machining cycles. The integration with the customer’s ERP allows for efficient tool procurement in the TDM system.
Learn in under 60 minutes…
- How you can implement end-to-end tool management for both flexible and highly productive machining production through the perfect interaction of the tool management system and the Manufacturing Management Software (MMS).
- How you can optimize tool use and thereby reduce costs thanks to tool management and tool automation.
- How tool automation efficiently supports you in unmanned production.
- How to ensure just-in-time delivery of tools to the machine tool magazine.
- How to increase machine utilization because every tool can be used in every machine.
