    2.5D Drilling and Milling. Fast, Safe and Highly Automated

    2.5D DRILLING AND MILLING with withfeature Feature design Design 2.5D DRILLING AND MILLING. FAST, SAFE AND HIGHLY AUTOMATED. Import data, identify features, calculate toolpaths automatically – Tebis CAD/CAM software automates 2.5D machining in die and mold manufacturing, in industrial manufacturing and in other industries. By representing all machining tasks in parametrized Feature 2.5D Drilling Design and Milling features, it enables a high level of automation. And linkage to Tebis AutoMill® NC templates delivers advantages along the entire process chain, from design and NC programming to machine manufacturing. The benefits of the Tebis solution start right from the design stage, because Tebis copies features from a variety of other CAD systems and evaluates imported CAD geometries. Tebis efficiently identifies all manufacturing objects, thus reducing the amount of drawing work needed. And when it comes to NC programming, information flows automatically from the manufacturing objects into the NC programs. Tested machining processes are saved in NC templates and are then made available to all users. With just a few clicks of the mouse, you can produce optimized NC programs containing collision- checked tool assemblies, even for complex parts. You‘ll also save time in production, where your ratio of productive time to non-productive time will steadily improve because your NC controls are no longer used for programming. Errors caused by manually copying data from a drawing into the machine control are completely eliminated thanks to a digital process chain. And even with this high level of automation, users can intervene at any point to optimize the design of their processes.

    Chapter 1. Industrial Users Perspectives Cutting MoldslDies from Scan data Rao S. Vadlamudi Venture Engineering, Research & Development, 1027 E. 14 Mile Rd., Troy, MI-48083 Keywords Optical scanners, duplicating dies/molds, cam software, scan data, stl files Abstract This paper discuss the state ofthe art technology in duplicating an existing mold or die using digitized data from Optical scanners, instead of using traditional "copy milling". Both the technical results and experience from the process to achieve these results are expressed. The main process is discussed highlighting the benefits of using new technology versus copy milling or from surface. The main process consists of : 1) Scanning: An existing mold or die is scanned using Optical scanners. The software and hardware used to scan the die/mold are described in detail with the advantages of using Optical scanners versus laser scanners. 2) Data preparation: Once the die/mold is scanned, the data is pre-processed to read to any CAD/CAM systems. An STL (Steriolithography format) file is created for cutterpath generation and section lines are created, in case if surface development is required, for other applications. 3) Creating toolpaths using CAM software : Major issues in cutting the scan data are discussed. 4) Cutting p-20 steel on CNC mlc 5) Quality Check: Checking the die/mold with the following procedures a) CMM machine, b) Using the same scanner. In this process, we compare the dimensional accuracy of duplicated die/mold with original die/mold using Optical scanners and CMM machines. We cut one die for Chrysler Corporation using the above process and the results are very impressive.

Thank you up front, Gordon, for doing that. Gordon Bell: Am happy to. Hendrie: What I would like to start with is maybe you could tell us a little bit about where you were born, your family, what your parents did, how many brothers and sisters you had, just a little background as to sort of where you were during your formative years. Bell: Great. I'm a fan of crediting everything to my parents and environment that I grew up in. I was born in Kirksville, Missouri, on August 19th, 1934. Kirksville was a college town and also a farming community, about 10,000 population, and had the Northeast Missouri State Teacher's College, which has now morphed itself into the Truman University. The town now has about 20,000 people. My father had an electrical contracting business and appliance store and did small appliance repair, and I grew up working at "the shop". My uncle was with him and had the refrigeration part of the business. And so I spent all my formative years at the shop and in that environment.

    Overview Role of Simulation Package in Virtual Manufacturing and for CNC Machinery

    International Journal of Engineering & Technology, 7 (2.8) (2018) 702-705 International Journal of Engineering & Technology Website: www.sciencepubco.com/index.php/IJET Research Paper Overview Role of Simulation Package in Virtual Manufacturing and for CNC Machinery R. Mahesh 1, J. Ganesh Murali 2, R. Arulmurugan 3 1,3 Assistant Professor ,2Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering, Karpagam College of Engineering, Coimbatore-641032. Abstract Computer Numerical Control Machines (CNC) totally changed the scenario in manufacturing industries in terms of production volume, easy flexibility and with fewer deviations. As customers expect high grade of accuracy, precision, reliable and prompt supply it became essential in the manufacturing sector to reduce the time for developing and proving out new products. Normally programming and proving out the same plays a significant role in the product development cycle. Nowadays several software packages are there to stimulate the tool path, sequence of operations and validation of the program to ensure flawless performance. These packages do serve additional role of optimizing the program sequence and reduce the cycle time involved to manufacture the parts concerned. Keywords: CNC Machines, Manufacturing, Product Development, Simulation Softwares. 1. Introduction Ever increasing customer requirements and shorter development cycles demands an improved and highly result oriented system that would take care of error proofing in the part of program. The desired property for such a protocol is to be of zero tolerant and highly effective as well as efficient one. It became very vital to analyze the manufacturing process parameters before hand while going for huge investments. As a collaborative approach in product design and development cloud based tools offer significant role in the form of cloud based machining simulation systems for verification and optimization of CNC programs(1).

    A Cimdata Program Review November 2016

    Tebis A CIMdata Program Review November 2016 CIMdata, Inc. 3909 Research Park Drive Ann Arbor, MI 48108 +1 734.668.9922 www.CIMdata.com Tebis A CIMdata Program Review Tebis Tebis software is used by toolmakers to design and build made-to-order mold and die tooling primarily for the automotive sector, and for component manufacturers in the aerospace and mechanical engineering sectors. With a mix of direct sales and distributors throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas, Tebis AG and its subsidiaries serve major markets worldwide. While many may recognize Tebis software as being a superior NC programming solution for producing high quality Class A machined surfaces; the real strength of the current Tebis offering lies in its ability to provide a wide range of innovative solutions and services for many important steps within a customer’s manufacturing process chain. This, coupled with a new pricing model, makes Tebis a viable option for many early phase companies that formerly may have opted for a solution based solely on low acquisition cost. Introduction This CIMdata program review addresses elements of the full range of Tebis software functionality, beginning with capturing and importing customer product and component data through to final assembly; and for die making beyond assembly through to tool tryout and correction. Additionally, this review addresses Tebis Consulting, the Tebis AG department that provides manufacturing related consulting services. Tebis AG’s present and future outlook, as well as their software go-to-market strategy, round out the topics covered in this review. Research for this paper was partially supported by Tebis North America and Tebis AG.
