Sandvik Adopts ISO Standard for
Representing and Exchanging Cutting-Tool Data
Sandvik Coromant, Fairlawn, NJ, has adopted the ISO 13399 standard for simplifying data representation and exchange for cutting tools. The standard provides for the description of product data pertaining to cutting tools independent of any specific system, making it suitable not only for neutral file exchange but also as a basis for
implementing and sharing product data- bases and archiving.
For example, there is no longer any need to change existing programming settings to use Sandvik Coromant tool- ing. ISO 13399 typically can be deployed to ease and optimize the exchange of data between CAD, CAM, CAE, PDM/EDM and other computer- aided technologies.
