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

It is subdivided in a of modifications and adaptations in manufacturing, where different data and CAD and CAM area.

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.

Standardized and time-saving design with CAD templates The 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 parametric 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- Automation and standardization of processes ence can accomplish all this with just a few mouse clicks. Large 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 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.

Drilling Turning Calculating NC programs for multi-axis drilling Calculating NC programs for turning Included functions: ■ Turning of contours, grooves and threads and for face drilling ■ Centering, drilling, countersinking, reaming, boring and thread tapping ■ Use of complete tools from the Tebis tool library ■ Mill drilling and thread milling ■ Can be combined with Tebis drilling and milling functions for complete machining ■ Turn-drilling and back boring on multitasking machines Manufacturing knowledge can be stored in templates (features, NCSets) to standardize the manufacturing processes.

Deep drilling Calculating NC programs for deep drilling The “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.

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.

Your Tebis software thus knows your ■ Variable machining rules referencing different machining templates (NCSets) specific manufacturing environment in detail. ■ Automatic tool assignment in NCSets ■ Consideration of the actual tool inventory in the shop 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.

28 // // 29 Process libraries for your 5 manufacturing environment

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.

Virtual machines Tools For representing your machines in your Tebis NC programming environment For mapping your existing and specialized tools in your Tebis programming Factors including machine geometry, supplemental equipment, kinematics, limit switches environment and dynamic parameters for axes and drives are stored in virtual representations of your The tool library contains images of your real tools with their exact geometric dimensions machining centers and robots. and proven and optimized cutting data for various materials. Groups of tools in machine ■ Your production planners use the virtual machines to check for feasibility and to magazines and tool cabinets can also be represented. precisely determine machining time. ■ Tebis manages each complete tool in its individual components such as holder, ■ Your NC programmers use the virtual machines to define suitable setup positions and extension and cutting edge. to check the calculated NC programs for collisions and limit switch problems and to ■ NC programmers use existing tools or assemble new tools as necessary. choose a a different machine. ■ Machine operators simulate the machining operation based on actual machine kinematics.

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.

30 // // 31 Process libraries for your 5 manufacturing knowledge

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.

Feature library for design and manufacturing preparation NCSet library for frequently used manufacturing standards For representing standardized geometry templates from parameterized For representing standardized manufacturing sequences manufacturing objects NCSets usually include several NC calculation functions with a predefined milling Features comprise ruled geometry and describe items such as bores, fits, planar strategy, tool specifications and proven calculation parameters. surfaces and pockets. Complex features are limited by free-form contours. ■ NCSets are called either automatically by a feature or manually by the user ■ Features are automatically transferred to the part from the feature library on scanning ■ Tools can also be assigned variably ■ Features are linked to suitable manufacturing sequences (NCSets) describing the manufacturing sequence for the feature.

NCJobs and Job Managers for the same and similar manufacturing tasks

For reuse of entire manufacturing sequences in identical or similar form The Tebis Job Manager covers the complete production of manufacturing parts. Stored Job Manager sequences can be conveniently reused for the same or similar manufacturing 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
