Programming for complex components is now both simple and highly automated With the new Tebis turning module, end-to-end programming with a single software that effortlessly exploits all advantages of the system has become a reality. The possibility of combining drilling, turning, and milling operations in a single setup significantly reduces manufacturing times while enabling a high degree of specialization. The powerful individual functions of the Tebis solution have already been proven to be impressive. They include all functions for the turning of contours, grooves, and threads as well as end-face drilling. The turning module is also fully integrated in the job manager and the Tebis Simulator, so NC programming is even more effective. The user enjoys all the benefits of an end-to-end process chain within one uniform user interface. The blank is passed through all operations and updated continuously. With just a few clicks of the mouse in the Tebis CAD/CAM system, it is possible to produce optimized NC programs. These NC programs are collision-checked for tool assemblies, even when the part is complex. The entire manufacturing know-how of the company is retained, stored in NC templates and is accessible for future processes at any time. Despite a high degree of automation, the user still has extensive opportunities to flexibly respond to any requiremen, always with the goal of minimizing programming and manufacturing times without compromising high reliability standards. Decisions about the correct setup, the most suitable technology parameters, and the behavior of individual machine components have already been made during programming, instead of in the workshop.

Tebis turning – Summary of individual functions With the correct combination of required parameters, the Tebis turning module provides the user with extensive options to flexibly respond to any situation. Extensive strategies The Tebis turning module contains all functions necessary for the longitudinal, face and contour-parallel turning of contours and grooves as well as end-face drilling – even off-center. Cylindrical, conical or planar threads can also be easily made. The system will automatically recognize whether the area must be machined from the inside or outside. Drilling off-center...

Tebis CAD/CAM model Input data Tebis turning – The overall process 1 Like all other Tebis modules, the Tebis turning module works with any type of input data, regardless of whether they are provided as drawings, curves, surfaces or solids. 2 External data can be imported with the standard or direct interfaces provided. In addition to geometry and structural data, manufacturing and tolerance information can be transferred. 3 uring job planning, the user checks the Tebis libraries for D completeness and can add any necessary tools and machines. The user also checks to see if there are NC...

Even shorter manufacturing times, thanks to effective toolpaths High measuring accuracy and full-cut recognition in the grooving functions For all contour machining operations, you can specify whether undercut areas are to be machined directly or omitted. Two edge references are available in the grooving functions. Fittings can be precisely created. Plus: The full-cut recog­ ition n ensures a longer cutter life. And the user decides what will happen when the cutter is fully inserted. If desired, the tool performs a clearing process or retracts in feed rate. The undercut area is machined...

Complete overview during simulation Complete access to the Tebis Sketcher With material tracking activated, the blank is updated in real time following each cut. The component and machined areas, as well as those still to be machined, are highlighted with different colors. In addition, the opening angle can be freely defined in the rotational view. This provides a significantly better display of the tool's position in internal machining. Individual components, such as the part, blank or protected elements, can be displayed or hidden. The simulation remains clear, allowing visual...
