Full title and description

St ISO/TS 13399-50:2013 — Cutting tool data representation and exchange — Part 50: Reference dictionary for reference systems and common concepts. This technical specification defines a reference dictionary covering classes of reference (coordinate) systems used with cutting tools, their descriptive properties and the domains of values used to describe them, together with computer-sensible identifications for unambiguous exchange.

Abstract

ISO/TS 13399-50:2013 specifies a reference dictionary for reference systems for cutting tools, including: definitions and identifications of classes of reference systems and common concepts with an associated classification scheme; definitions and identifications of data element types that represent properties of those systems; and definitions and identifications of domains of values for those data element types. One implementation method for exchange (ISO 10303-21 / STEP-File) is indicated. This edition was published as Edition 2 in December 2013.

Scope

This part of ISO 13399 establishes the reference dictionary entries needed to describe reference (coordinate) systems and related common concepts for cutting tools. Each dictionary entry is provided with a human-readable and computer-sensible definition and an unambiguous identifier so that entries can be referenced from applications implementing the ISO 13399 information model. The specification covers classes of reference systems, their properties, domains of values, and an example exchange implementation using ISO 10303-21.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and classification of classes of reference (coordinate) systems for cutting tools.
• Data element type definitions for properties of reference systems and common concepts.
• Domains of values for property data elements (value lists, units, ranges).
• Computer-sensible identifications for dictionary entries to enable unambiguous exchange.
• Guidance for exchanging the standard data using STEP-file (ISO 10303-21) as an implementation method.
• Alignment with common dictionary schemas (EXPRESS data types and related ISO 13584 extensions).

Typical use and users

Typical users include cutting tool manufacturers, tool data providers, CAM/CAD/CIM software vendors, tool-management and production-planning systems, integrators working on digital tool libraries, and standards/IT teams within manufacturers that need unambiguous, machine-readable descriptions of reference systems for tooling data exchange. The standard is used when establishing tool libraries, exchanging tool data between systems, or implementing ISO 13399-compliant data models.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO/TS 13399-50:2013 is Part 50 of the ISO 13399 series; it provides a reference dictionary for reference (coordinate) systems and common concepts used in describing cutting tools, supplying definitions, classifications and machine-readable identifiers for dictionary entries.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the classes of reference systems for cutting tools, the data element types that describe their properties, the domains of values for those properties, and an implementation method for exchanging the defined standard data (example: ISO 10303-21).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Cutting-tool manufacturers, CAM/CAD vendors, tool-data librarians and integrators, production and tool-management system developers — any organization that needs standardized, unambiguous tool reference-system descriptions for data exchange.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2013 Edition (Edition 2) of ISO/TS 13399-50 is published and was confirmed as current during ISO periodic reviews (the ISO catalogue shows confirmation actions including 2017, 2020 and 2023 reviews). Users should check the ISO catalogue or national standards body for any newer amendments or revisions beyond the 2013 edition.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one part of the ISO 13399 family (Cutting tool data representation and exchange). The series contains multiple parts addressing reference dictionaries for cutting items, connection systems, company codes, graphical layout, and overall principles and implementation methods.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Key keywords include cutting tool data, reference dictionary, coordinate system, data element, domain of values, ISO 13399, STEP (ISO 10303-21), EXPRESS, tool library, tool identification.
