Phone App and Website Improve Thread Milling
October 1, 2014
"In order to obtain optimum tool life, cycle times and return on investment, exact programming of CNC machines and selection of the best tool is critical," said a KOMET spokesperson. "With a variety of materials, thread milling operations and tools, it can be difficult to optimize processes and CNC programs. However, KOMET, using its TOOLS PLUS IDEAS philosophy, has devised the JEL Tec-Pro-Time (TPT) application for machine operators that makes the selection and programming process easy and precise."
Machine operators open the application and enter the details of the machining task. The TPT application will then propose all possible threading tools, along with the machining time for each. Operators can access tool drawings for the selected tool using the application, and can also download the appropriate CNC programs for FANUC, Sinumerik, Mazatrol, UniPro, Philips or Heidenhain controls. Programs are available in six languages, and in metric or imperial units.
The TPT application is available online or as a free, downloadable app for both iOS and Android mobile platforms.
