An example frame from the TDM video.

TDM Systems, a manufacturer of tool and resource management software, has launched a video to help explain how the company's software can support the entire tool circuit, from planning to the machine. According to the company, Tool Data Management (TDM) software is an integrated solution for data acquisition and managing the array of tools, tool assemblies, fixtures and set-up equipment confronting today's manufacturers.

In a little over three minutes, the video takes the viewer through a real world situation for tool management, from programming to production.

The challenge presented in the video is an urgent end-of-day order from a customer, which requires an NC programmer to adjust machining parameters and tooling needs in order to meet an order due the next day. By searching through TDM for the appropriate tooling, he is able to quickly create the data set needed and select the correct cutting tool to successfully complete the project.

Through the use of sketches and animation, the video explains the entire process for this one particular application and serves as an example of the efficiency of the tool data management system from TDM Systems.
