Toolbase
A powerful system does not have to be complicated! With every further development of our software, we take great care to ensure that the users only see the data on the screen that they currently needs for their current task. Everything else is consistently hidden. This ensures quick integration and minimal training efforts.

Custom Retention Knobs
All TJ Davies custom retention knobs are manufactured from American-made 8620 alloy steel which has a high tensile strength to withstand strong centrifugal force, high load force, high feed rate, and difficult to machine material. All knobs are machined in-house with single point threading to Imperial (Class 2A UNC) or Metric (Class G6) standards. After threading is completed, each component is heat treated to 58-62 HRC then treated with hot black oxide to military specifications for protection against corrosion. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and then pull tested to 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar it is designed for.
My rConnect
Now, My rConnect is completely cloud-based, so as long as a computer is connected to the same network as their current GFMS machine, that machine is connected to My rConnect. However, GFMS machines that don't have network access and are connected to the Internet can also use My rConnect.
