Product catalog summary
Integration TDM - CATIA V5 Overview
TDM Systems provides integration solutions for CATIA V5 users through CAM and CAD interface modules, facilitating the online transfer of tool data and graphics.
CAM-Interface
  • Purpose: Supports continuous CAM processes by accessing tool data from a central database, enhancing company-specific tool knowledge during CAM planning.
  • Functions:
    • Direct access for NC programmers to the TDM database.
    • Efficient selection of milling, drilling, and turning tools via CATIA V5 Search Tool Panel or TDM tool search.
    • Access to geometry, collision data, and machining know-how.
    • Retransfer of tools from NC programs to TDM as tool lists.
    • Transfer of tool lists to CATIA V5 for programming standardized tools efficiently.
  • Advantages:
    • Time savings through fast tool selection and real-time data access.
    • Reduced NC programming effort.
    • Increased NC program accuracy with reliable feeds and speeds knowledge base.
    • Geometry-dependent tool selection.
CAD-Features
  • TDM 3D SolidConverter: Enhances the use of complex 3D tools in programming and simulation by converting 3D solids to CATIA V5 native format, offering time savings and quality improvements.
  • Software Package:
    • Converts 3D solids to CATIA V5 format, generating usable 3D models for simulation.
    • Includes TDM 2D graphics and 3D-Solid Editor for easy adaptation and correction of graphics.
  • Additional Tools:
    • TDM ToolGraphicBuilder (TGB): Generates 3D solids of rotationally symmetric tool assemblies in CATIA V5 based on 2D graphics.
