Tebis 4.0 Release 3
Tebis strengths are your benefits. Efficiently and reliably manufacture high-quality parts with Tebis.
Tebis lets you standardize your manufacturing processes and ensures continuous high quality. You save your manufacturing environment and your proven manufacturing knowledge in Tebis process libraries. All of your data is always up-to-date. Automill®, Tebis NC automation, is based on the process libraries, which results in tremendous time savings on NC programming for single-part manufacturing. Automill® evaluates your CAD models, accounts for your manufacturing environment and your manufactur-ing knowledge and automatically calculates reliable NC programs. Your Tebis process libraries are protected and can only be used by you.
Tebis saves you lots of time. On importing the geometry via interfaces, in design, repair and prepa-ration of the surfaces for manufacturing, in NC programming, on the machine and especially in manual reworking in tryout.
EFFICIENT
Manufacture at the highest Class A quality with Tebis. This applies not only to your CAD surfaces, but more important, to the parts you get from your machines. This is thanks to the extremely powerful Tebis surface mathematics. It enables convenient repair and optimization of free-form surfaces. Tebis also uses polynomial surfaces instead of substitute models like polyhedra in NC calculation. Tebis has a highly sensitive distribution algorithm for NC points in the NC paths and uses the exact cutter geometry when calculating NC programs for modern high-performance tools.
HIGH-QUALITY
Tebis gives you the best possible protection for your personnel, machines and parts.Your shop operations are reliable all around because Tebis knows and always uses virtual models for your machines, tools and clamping devices. Tebis uses 5-axis avoidance and milling area reduction to prevent collisions. Tebis simulates the properties of the real machine and control and displays detected collisions and limit switch problems in the CAM programming environment.

NC-manufactured free-form surfaces are only as good as your CAD data. You can use the Tebis func-tions for designing, modeling, repairing, morphing and reverse engineering, to give your CAD models
Specialized CAD functions for active surfaces let you design active surfaces with perfectly prepared, precise surfaces in the die. You can use automatic functions to create transition-free pressure surfac-es as well as radius areas adjusted for the relevant pressing conditions. This lets you manufacture your dies without NC attributes like virtual sheet thick-nesses and allowances. This results in a tremendous reduction in manual tryout work after NC machin-ing.
Specialized CAD functions enable NC programmers to conveniently prepare their manufacturing models for subsequent NC processes. This sets your course for automated NC programming and optimized surface quality.
The Tebis NC algorithms have been continuously optimized over 30 years of development and ensure time-saving and effective processing on the ma-chines, with minimized idle travel and maximized cutting performance. This also includes demanding technical support for HFC and HPC cutters for
roughing, prefinishing and finishing. You can fully exploit the potential of these tools with special contact algorithms and path layouts with full-cut avoidance.

Tebis process libraries reflect the actual manufactur-ing environment. All tools, machines and clamping devices are stored there along with their geometric and technical properties. This benefits NC program-mers as they select the appropriate machine in this virtual environment, define the optimal setup and select the appropriate tools.
Tebis detects collisions during calculation of the NC paths and automatically prevents them by reducing milling areas and with 5-axis avoidance. Use the integral machine simulation before processing to check the entire machining operation for collisions and limit switch violations to protect your valuable machines and parts.
Tebis transfers the high quality of the CAD surfaces directly to the NC programs. This is because the software calculates NC paths on the mathematically precise surfaces instead of on tesselated substitute models like polyhedra. Finish quality can also be influenced by adjustable NC point distributions. This renders time-consuming manual reworking superfluous in many cases.
The Proleis MES system (manufacturing execu-tion system) works hand-in-hand with Tebis and is integrated in the Tebis user interface. It lets you organize, plan and control your manufacturing projects – including machine planning, material and tools logistics. The integral machine and operating data acquisition always keeps you supplied with up-to-date and realistic information.
Tebis has the appropriate software package – at a variety of performance levels – for typical CAD/CAM applications. You can get started at a low cost and expand as your requirements grow.
You can individually supplement the software packag-es and select additional functions from the compre-hensive portfolio of add-ons. Your staff can configure their Tebis workstations on-the-fly with floating licenses: If specific add-ons are used infrequently, your users can share these software components.
