Welcome to ATAM Systems
About Us
With over twenty years of Process Monitoring experience, ATAM Systems, Inc. has earned a highly respected reputation for
providing cost effective Process Protection. Thousands of customer applications beginning on automotive transfer lines
and progressing to Lights-Out Swiss style CNC medical machining have contributed to the cutting edge technology ATAM offers today.
By making this new technology available to the CNC machine owner at a lower daily cost than he already spends on scrap and
broken tools, ATAM is doing its part in strengthening the automatic machining economy.
PROVEN EXPERIENCE
to do the job right
This proven technology ... is saving manufacturers hundred of thousands of dollars by reducing machine
process cycle times, enabling efficient lights out operation, minimizing scrap, increasing tool and
machine life and enabling Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing.
Our reputation is built on proven results.
Everyday, ATAM units are helping customers to manufacture higher quality machined parts - faster and
at a lower cost - while protecting their machines from damage. Hundreds of application success stories
testify to the proven results of applying ATAM systems to increase machining throughput.
WE DEVELOP THE FUTURE
Pioneering Advanced Throughput Optimization
ATAM's throughput optimization provides visual feedback of the machining process in real time.
From this instant and responsive feed back of the cutting action, quick and positive decisions can
be made toward optimizing the tool action. Instant feedback of the result ... of increasing speeds, feeds,
depth of cuts, changed tool geometry, or type of tool, and coolant efficiency enables quick process
throughput improvement.
All of this is done with the full protection of ATAM's one millisecond response, which stops the machine
to avoid damage.
Installed in as little as 4 hours, ATAM's Throughput Optimization system senses the cutting action of the
tools and sends the appropriate signal to the machine control to minimize scrap and down time. Live data,
event log, and event signature capture provides vital information for Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing
programs.
Smart-teach provides quick set up of new never-before-ran processes while process memory quickly recalls
any previously ran job.
