Integration TDM - SolidCAM CAM-Interface TDM supports SolidCAM users with CAM- and CAD-in- • upport for tool classes provided by SolidCAM S terface modules for the online transfer of the tool data • ntegrated, expandable mapping of the tool types I and characteristics between TDM and SolidCAM with comprehensive documentation • After programming, complete tool lists are transfer- The TDM - SolidCAM interface supports your continuous CAM-process via access to the tool data in your red from SolidCAM to TDM and are available there for the production central tool database. The software provides companyspecific tool know-how in the phases of the CAM-planning process. Advantages of the TDM - SolidCAM CAM-Interface • Easy access to tool data from the SolidCAM Functions of the TDM - SolidCAM CAM-Interface • upport of the NC programmers with direct access S environment • Preview of true-to-scale tool graphics • Non-redundant tool data to the TDM database • Simple and fast selection of milling and drilling tools from TDM via SolidCAM Search Tool Panel or via tool • Significant increase in process reliability and productivity • Geometry-dependent tool selection of real tool search in TDM • ccess to geometry data, collision data and machiA©1995-2007 SolidCAM assemblies • Selection of feeds & speeds based on cutting tool ning know-how (cutting data) material and work piece material Geometry data and feeds & speeds Tool list Detail functions vary depending on the particular software version TDM Systems · Competence in Tool Data Management· www.tdmsystems.com

Integration TDM - SolidCAM CAD-Features • Step and saving (Design and storage) of a contour The tool contour generated in TDM is used to display based on 2D-tool graphics in BMG layer format the complete tool model in SolidCAM (incl. tool holder). • Specific software menu for easy definition of the In this way, simulations are made with the real tool as- cutting and non-cutting geometry on the tool sembly. All tool items are taken into account here during the simulation. Specific Graphic Tool TDM Tool Contour Generator SolidCAM users can generate a contour line with the TDM Tool Contour...
