About the dimension symbols conforming to ISO13399

  • What i s I S O13 3 9 9? ISO13399 is an international standard for the purpose of standardizing the electronic data of tools in the world.
  • Switching to the dimension symbols conforming to I S O13 3 9 9 In this catalog, we use the dimension symbols (properties) conforming to ISO13399 international standard. Below are the examples of the change.
  • Examples of the change:

Drilling LU (Effective flute length) Re (Effective flute length) LCF R OAL L ISO13399 standardizes not only the format of 2D and 3D CAD data but also the tool dimension symbols (properties) and reference position information. This allows the tool information to be read and combined into NC programs and CAM software, regardless of any tool maker's data. In addition to General Catalog (paper catalog), we are also updating the symbols in e-catalog (electronic catalog on our website) to the properties conforming to ISO13399. The e-catalog also provides 2D and 3D CAD data in accordance with ISO13399 standard.
