Tool and cutter grinding software

Grinding Software

End Mills, Drills, Reamers, Taps, Profile tools, Etc..

The Software supports the production and regrinding of milling, drilling and lathe tools.

tool-kit

provided for a large number of tool geometries.

Handling

tool-kit

guided by the program through the setup and handling of the workpieces that are to be

processed. The Software is organized in three main areas that administer the machine, wheel

and tool data.

Online Help

Data entry is directly supported by graphical parameter definitions. An additional Online

Help can be called at any time.

Visualization

tool-kit PROFESSIONAL offers 2D and 3D Visualization for tool and wheel data entry areas

as well as in the wheel path calculation. Optionally the machine model and the CNC

kinetmatic simulation can also be represented in 3D.

Database system

The software has a specially developed database system with time-optimized access to

workpiece, wheel and technology data.

The database structure can be appropriately organized to fit user requirements. The topdown architecture ensures that the amount of imput data is automatically minimized in

every step of the production process.

The complete grinding process, including all technology data, is recorded in the database.

Thereby the perfect reproduction of a previously optimized process is assured.

Presettings

The operator can create preset values in the form of tables for often used tool families. With

the push of a button the tool can be automatically generated and loaded directly into the

machine.

Collision control

The program can be supplied with collision control. An analysis of all collision relevant

objects is carried out when the machine code is generated. A graphical visualization

facilitates the detailed recording of possible collision situations so that the operator can easily

analyze and correct errors during data entry or wheel setup.

Tool probing

tool-kit

routines for the different tool geometries. Interfaces to external measurement systems are

also implemented.
