Parlec announces "PGC Plus 6" Tool Data Management & Communication Software

Tool list creation and management for any NC program or tool carousel

Rochester, N.Y., September 12, 2007 - Parlec, a worldwide leader in tooling, workholding, and presetting solutions, announces today the release of PGC PLUS 6 Tool Data Management and Communications software for use on Parsetter TMM® Tool presetters. An enhancement to the company's popular Parsetter TMM line of Tool Measuring and Inspection systems, PGC PLUS 6 lets users create and manage tool lists for any NC program or tool carousel, as well as electronically communicate tool data to machining centers.

PGC PLUS 6 can run as a stand-alone application at the tool presetter or as a client-server network installation. It offers the following features:

Comprehensive Tool Data Management
PGC PLUS 6 uses a MySQL database to manage an unlimited number of tool and component records. The application's four-tiered hierarchy uses a Microsoft® Windows directory tree format to easily organize tools. By including cost information for tool components, PGC PLUS 6 automatically calculates the total cost of a tool assembly or an entire tool list, as well as enabling rev level control. Users can also attach related files including digital images and CAD drawings.

Flexible Job Scheduler
The Job Scheduler allows creation of multiple jobs from one Tool List. Specific jobs may then be scheduled and managed from any PGC terminal in the facility.

Versatile Tool Data Communications
PGC PLUS 6 automatically formats the data for electronic post processing to machining centers. It has the ability to communicate with cell controllers and other TMS systems. It also offers built-in support for RFID tool tag systems and bar coding capability.

Custom Report Builder
In addition to PGC PLUS 6's standard report and label templates, the PGC Report Builder allows quick creation of customized labels and tool reports.

Intuitive Setup and Configuration
All setup and configuration parameters for the tool presetters and the application are user accessible. A three-tiered user security system assures proper administration and protection of data.

Ease of Use
Touch screen operation, informative tool tips and right-click Power Features help make PGC PLUS 6 intuitive and easy to use. Users can also sort, search, and filter data with one-click on any column of data.

As a plug-and-play upgrade to Parlec's ParleVision® measuring and inspection system, PGC PLUS 6 software runs on Microsoft® Windows operating systems.
