Simple and intuitive user guidanceQuickly find information in the new structure tree Tebis users organize their activities in a structure tree. It is subdivided in a CAD and CAM area. The CAD node shows the precise design history of the part. It can be traced at any time. The user can access the respective design status of the part and can quickly and easily modify individual objects using parametric/associative methods. The CAM node in the structure tree contains the Job Manager which provides all manufacturing-related functions. NC machining operations and NC sequences are displayed together with their respective input data.

The new smart Job Manager displays the complete manufacturing process The Job Manager reflects the complete manufacturing process for the part. CAM programmers use it to create and manage all NC programs in all tech-nologies required for manufacturing – from milling to turning and hardening. It is always available and can be easily checked and modified. Setups are defined in the Job Manager, including part setups on the virtual machine. By using their own process libraries, users can create safe and efficient NC programs.

Automation and standardization of processesLarge potential savings can be found in single-part manufacturing through standardized and stored processes. This requires close integrating of CAD/CAM and MES technology. ProLeiS and Tebis 4.1 enable automated planning, control and implementation of complex manufacturing projects by splitting up entire products and individual parts into proven work sequences. The resulting logistics of purchased parts, blanks and machine components is included along with the planned utilization of the machine pool and the time-optimized work assign-ments to manufacturing designers, NC programmers and machine operators.

Tebis 4.1Tebis 4.1 is a complete parametric-associative CAD/CAM system for seamless and highly automated design, manufacturing preparation and CAM program-ming in a single system. All CAD and CAM processes can be directly connected to the ProLeiS MES software, forming a solid platform for automated manufac-turing processes.

The new user interface, which has been improved in close cooperation with Tebis users, is consistently aligned with logical procedures of CAD designers and CAM programmers.

Parametric/associative system base and solid kernelRobust CAD hybrid system combines free-form surfaces and solidsThe newly developed system base has been redesigned for the high frequency of modifications and adaptations in manufacturing, where different data and qualities of data come together and processing speed is determined by the robustness of the software. In data preparation for manufacturing, for ex-ample, surfaces like draft angles with volumes or open and closed solids can be combined without resulting in error messages. Tebis always calculates a result – even if there are gaps in the surface topology.

Design for ease of modificationThe new parametric design core "remembers" the creation history of the individual surface and solid elements. Each state of the element is stored and can be modified at any time via its parameters – such as length, radius and di-rection. Because the individual elements are interdependent, the entire design adapts to any changes fully automatically – at a click of the mouse.

Standardized and time-saving design with CAD templatesThe template technology integrated in the CAM environment now also helps to save time in the performance of recurring activities in CAD. This yields tremendous savings, especially in designing variants. The user imports a para-metric template, such as a test gauge, into the data set, copies it several times, changes the height and angles of the individual fixtures with the parameter values, aligns and positions them to fit the part. Even users with little experi-ence can accomplish all this with just a few mouse clicks.

Modernized NCJob technology

The new Tebis Job Manager immediately establishes an overview of all the individual steps required to manufacture the part. All details for setups and the tools and clamping devices used are immediately visible – including all NC parameters. Working intuitively in the Job Manager and with the process libraries ensures that new employees can learn quickly.

The Job Manager has become more compact thanks to its incorporation in the structure tree.

Setup in the virtual machine has also been simplified. With just a few clicks, the NC programmer can now visualize the blank and the finished part in the machine, select suitable tools and optimize spatial orientations.

High-quality part surfaces can be manufactured at the best rate when all five axes of your machines are working simultaneously. All multi-axis machining operations can be very easily planned and calculated in Tebis. Tebis automatically calculates collision-checked toolpaths for low tool wear.

High-performance 5-axis roughing

Performance tuning of 5-axis roughing operations The module activates the special "contour parallel" and "adaptive" strategies in some 5-axis milling functions. This accelerates machining in 5-axis roughing of 3D surfaces and 2.5D pockets and in 5-axis radial roughing. This enables optimal use of HPC and HFC tools, reducing processing times.

Trimming

Calculating multi-axis NC programs for milling CFRP, GRP and composite parts Includes functions:■ For aligning the tool and machine head■ For precise and fast checking of the tilt directions■ For calculating milling paths■ For permanent collision control

5-axis simultaneous milling

Calculating 5-axis simultaneous toolpaths Includes functions and strategies: ■ For 5-axis milling along curves with center, contact and frontal machining. The tool can be oriented normally to the part surfaces or specifically aligned with vectors. ■ For 5-axis side milling for machining part surfaces with the tool flank. Ball cutters, toroid cutters and barrel cutters can be optimally implemented. Roughing/finishing strategies reduce machining times.■ For 5-axis face milling for machining part geometry of any complexity with ball cutters, toroid cutters and HFC cutters. Optimal surface quality. Large path distances reduce machining time. Collisions can be prevented with automatic avoidance strategies. Axes can be clamped.

5-axis avoidance milling

Converting a 3-axis toolpath into a 5-axis collision-checked toolpathThis technology is used:■ For targeted conversion of individual 3-axis toolpaths ■ For automatic collision avoidance. With this option activated, Tebis milling functions detect collisions of the tool holder with the part during calculation and prevent these from occurring through avoidance movements of the tool.

Turn-milling

Tebis is ideally suited for complete machining centers that can turn, mill and drill. This saves you machine changes and reclamping and reduces logistics expenditures on the path to the finished workpiece. At the same time, you benefit from the greater accuracy of mill-turning, because the workpiece is turned, drilled and milled in the same setup. On machines with a primary and secondary spindle, you can automatically transfer parts and complete them on all sides without manual reclamping.

Tebis drilling functions enable you to manually or automatically program all types of bores, from center bores to branched deep bores.

Tebis workstations show their special strength in production machining by combining turning, milling and drilling in a single user interface. This enables you to quickly and safely manufacture both simple and complex parts.

Turning

Calculating NC programs for turning■ Turning of contours, grooves and threads and for face drilling■ Use of complete tools from the Tebis tool library■ Can be combined with Tebis drilling and milling functions for complete machining on multitasking machines

Drilling

Calculating NC programs for multi-axis drilling Included functions: ■ Centering, drilling, countersinking, reaming, boring and thread tapping ■ Mill drilling and thread milling ■ Turn-drilling and back boring Manufacturing knowledge can be stored in templates (features, NCSets) to standardize the manufacturing processes.

Deep drilling

Calculating NC programs for deep drillingThe “Feature technology - ruled form” module is recommended for preparing deep drilling operations as features.Manufacturing knowledge can be stored in templates (features, NCSets) to standardize the manufacturing processes. Programming with virtual machines (including units) is recommended.

In addition to machining, the Tebis modular system also supports three laser technologies. Like all manufacturing technologies, these Tebis modules access the customer's virtual manufacturing environment and use the expertise stored in knowledge templates.

Laser cladding

Calculating NC programs for laser-cladding systems This reduces reworking in change areas (e.g. milling, drilling) to a minimum. ■ Automatic detection of welding areas■ Automatic determination of number of layers by variance comparison■ Calculation of exactly equidistant paths in each layer

Laser hardening

Calculating multi-axis NC programs for laser-hardening machines The specific hardening of high-stressed areas of steel and cast steel parts does not usually require any re-machining. Parts can therefore be machine finished in their unhardened condition. ■ Simple and intuitive operation ■ Control of machines and robots with up to eight axes■ With integrated collision checking

Work planning allows you to implement your real machine technology in your virtual NC programming environment. This enables you to accelerate calculation and manufacturing processes and make them safer.Functions for planning setups and multiple setups access the process libraries of machines, tools and units in the same way as the Tebis checking functions for detecting collisions and the functions for multi-channel technology.

Programming with virtual machine

Realistic planning of setups and definition of NC machining operations close to the machine ■ Planning setups, tools and their spatial orientation on virtual machine models even before NC programming■ Specifying additional machine axes and units like jaw chucks, steady rest and tailstock on definition of NC machining operations■ Tebis monitors limit switch values during calculation■ Units and machine axes can be positioned individually on execution of the NC program

Collision check - machine

Checking calculated toolpaths for collisions and limit switch violations This accounts for the entire kinematic chain of the machine: ■ Tool■ Machine head, lathe turret, etc.■ All axis carriages and rotating elements of the machine■ Machine table on which the part is clamped. Tebis uses stored virtual tools, machine models and machine macros

Multiple setup

For simultaneous manufacturing of multiple parts on the machine table, on grid plates and clamping turrets Ideal for night and weekend shifts. With path optimization for fewer tool changes and air movements. ■ First, program parts individually■ Wait to define actual clamping until shortly before machining

Simultaneous calculation processes

To extend the existing NC function range for one or more simultaneous NC calculations The license extensions are required for one or more simultaneously running background calculations and enable the following:■ Unrestricted access to all licensed NC functions and the Job Manager■ Definition of further NCJobs■ Calculation, simulation and output of NC programs

Tool match

For geometric alignment between virtual and real tools This can be used to align milling and drilling tools that have been used in NC programs with the real tools at the tool setup station. This ensures that the tools actually used do not cause collisions or problems with limit switches.

// 2726 //

These extensions enable you to get even more computing power from your Tebis workstations and set your sights on NC automation. You can standardize and automate your NC programming. This speeds up your processes, provides consistent quality and reduces tool wear.

Automatic tilt direction calculation

For automatic subdivision of the part into collision-checked milling areas This subdivision accounts for all tool components and the geometry of the machine head. ■ Determination of system-supported area■ Integration in existing machining templates■ Simplified, safe NC programming

Feature technology - ruled form

For feature-based processing of ruled geometry Ruled features are automatically detected and are assigned sequences with NC operations. Automation possibilities with: ■ Variable machining rules referencing different machining templates (NCSets)■ Automatic tool assignment in NCSets ■ Consideration of the actual tool inventory in the shop

Feature technology - free form

For feature-based NC machining of complex prismatic geometry with free-form contours and some open areas Free-form features are automatically detected and are assigned sequences with NC machining operations. Automation possibilities with: ■ Variable machining rules referencing different machining templates (NCSets)■ Automatic tool assignment in NCSets ■ Consideration of the actual tool inventory in the shop

CAM modules for NC automation

Tebis Automill

This is how CNC automation with Tebis works: Your NC programmers use process libraries, containing your machines, controls, tools and clamping devices as individual digital objects. Your Tebis software thus knows your specific manufacturing environment in detail.

Still more: NC templates also contain your optimized manufacturing knowledge and enable standardized work and automatic functions for your NC programming.

The NC programmer uses NC templates containing proven manufacturing sequences as well as suitable tools, machines and clamping devices from the process libraries stored in virtual form. This enables Tebis NC programs to optimally adapt to the manufacturing environment and to detect and avoid collisions during programming.

// 2928 //

Tebis users work with process libraries that digitally represent their real manufacturing environment. The libraries contain geometric, kinematic and technical information on machines, their supplemental equipment, controls, tools and clamping devices. In the digitized manufacturing environment, NC programmers can unambiguously define setups on the selected machines and tools, simulate toolpaths and avoid collisions during calculation. This ensures safe NC code for your manufacturing.

Tools

For mapping your existing and specialized tools in your Tebis programming environment The tool library contains images of your real tools with their exact geometric dimensions and proven and optimized cutting data for various materials. Groups of tools in machine magazines and tool cabinets can also be represented.■ Tebis manages each complete tool in its individual components such as holder, extension and cutting edge. ■ NC programmers use existing tools or assemble new tools as necessary.

Units and clamping devices

For representing your real clamping devices in your Tebis programming environment NC programmers can unambiguously specify the setup. This prevents clamping device collisions and consequential renewed NC programming. Tebis 4.1 completes the proven Tebis process libraries.

NC documentation templates

For documenting your NC programs for your shop The templates are in XML or PDF format and can be printed on paper or viewed on screen. Tebis implementation engineers use the available catalog templates to program your individual templates to your exact specifications.

Virtual machines

For representing your machines in your Tebis NC programming environment Factors including machine geometry, supplemental equipment, kinematics, limit switches and dynamic parameters for axes and drives are stored in virtual representations of your machining centers and robots. ■ Your production planners use the virtual machines to check for feasibility and to

precisely determine machining time.■ Your NC programmers use the virtual machines to define suitable setup positions and

to check the calculated NC programs for collisions and limit switch problems and to choose a a different machine.

■ Machine operators simulate the machining operation based on actual machine kinematics.

Postprocessors

For output of calculated toolpaths in line with your NC control format You need the postprocessor corresponding to the type and complexity of your machines. Based on the inventory of catalog postprocessors, Tebis implementation engineers develop your individual postprocessors according to your specific requirements.■ We offer postprocessors for milling (in two performance levels), turning, laser cutting, turn-milling and robots (with more than five axes). ■ Postprocessors use information from the virtual machines when outputting NC programs in the control format.

NCSet library for frequently used manufacturing standards

For representing standardized manufacturing sequencesNCSets usually include several NC calculation functions with a predefined milling strategy, tool specifications and proven calculation parameters.■ NCSets are called either automatically by a feature or manually by the user■ Tools can also be assigned variably

NCJobs and Job Managers for the same and similar manufacturing tasks

For reuse of entire manufacturing sequences in identical or similar formThe Tebis Job Manager covers the complete production of manufacturing parts. Stored Job Manager sequences can be conveniently reused for the same or similar manufactur-ing tasks.■ Users save considerable time by reusing the template if part selection within the NC functions can be organized via automatic element selection■ NCJob templates and entire Job Managers enable quick training of new employees

Feature library for design and manufacturing preparation

For representing standardized geometry templates from parameterized manufacturing objectsFeatures comprise ruled geometry and describe items such as bores, fits, planar surfaces and pockets. Complex features are limited by free-form contours.■ Features are automatically transferred to the part from the feature library on scanning■ Features are linked to suitable manufacturing sequences (NCSets) describing the manufacturing sequence for the feature.

NC programmers use their individual manufacturing knowledge stored in Tebis for standardized and automated work. Frequently required manufacturing sequences and methods are saved as templates in process libraries. Both manufacturing designers and NC programmers have unambiguous access to the same manufacturing templates. You can minimize errors, make the best possible use of programming and machine capacities and increase your performance.

Tebis implementation engineers support you in establishing your own individual knowledge libraries.
