The Adveon Tool Library provides three functions to assist users. First, a library allows customers to download or enter data for tooling items, including tool holders, adapters, cutting tools and inserts, to create a master catalog. A second function enables users to categorize the various tooling items they use, while the third allows them to quickly and easily create tool assemblies from these components. Applications which support the standard, can then access the cutting tool assemblies without further searching or definition.

One of the great features of Adveon for GibbsCAM is it will allow users to develop their own tool library. This will help with productivity as users will have a greater understanding and knowledge of tools available.

Users can quickly and easily create tool assemblies, see immediate representations in 2D and 3D, and use them for simulation with GibbsCAM’s integrated Cut Part Rendering and Machine Simulation.

Adveon has been developed in compliance with ISO 13399, which defines cutting tool data representation and exchange. ISO 13399 allows the accurate exchange of tooling data among computer aided applications that support and adhere to the standard, including CAD, CAM, CAE, PDM, PLM and tool management systems.

Gibbs and Associates will begin marketing Adveon integrated with GibbsCAM immediately, and begin shipping it with the GibbsCAM 2015 release. Adveon will initially support milling tools, and incorporate turning tools when the data becomes available. GibbsCAM users with current software maintenance will receive Adveon free of charge.

“We applaud Sandvik’s leadership and initiative in implementing ISO 13399 with Adveon, and look forward to our partnership in delivering a great time-saving solution to manufacturers everywher,” said Robb Weinstein, Senior Vice President of Sales and Strategic Planning of Gibbs and Associates,in a press release. “Adveon is a perfect fit with GibbsCAM, which has the inherent ability to associate specific tools with machining processes and the parts and part features the tools cut, to facilitate fast CNC programming and even faster engineering changes.”
