CNC Software, Sandvik Coromant Partner to Add Tool Library to CAM Software
The partnership is said to benefit programmers by facilitating access to and use of ISO 13399 tool data in the programming process.
CNC Software Inc. (Tolland, Connecticut) and Sandvik Coromant (Fair Lawn, New Jersey) have announced that they will be working together to integrate the latter’s Adveon Tool Library with the former’s Mastercam software. According to Mastercam, Adveon will help users to improve machining productivity and security, and save time during machine setup.
Adveon is designed to facilitate quick and safe CAM programming, enabling users to:
- Develop their own tool library/database
- Select tools for production
- Overview and maintain assortment
- Build tool assemblies quickly and safely
- See immediate results in 2D and 3D models
- Instantly export to Mastercam Tool Manager
Adveon works with any tooling supplier that bases its catalogue on ISO 13399, thus assuring the accuracy of geometrical information.
Adir Zonta, Adveon product manager at Sandvik Coromant, says, “Our partnership with CNC Software creates a great opportunity for Mastercam users to increase their productivity and quality on NC programing by providing qualified tool assembly data and true to scale 3D models to Tool Manager Library.”
David Boucher, director of product development at CNC Software, adds, “We will be able to directly use Sandvik ISO 13399 tooling data and models inside the Mastercam application and this will improve our mutual customers’ workflow and efficiency, while reducing the potential for programming errors from the need to duplicate tooling information.”
