Tebis Autom ill™ NC job lists In each model file, Tebis creates an NC job list in which all the NC machining steps are saved with all the necessary tools and all the area selections and parameter inputs. Toolpaths calculated on this basis will always retain their NC job reference and can be recalculated immediately after any changes to the parameters. Another advantage: NC job lists can be copied to components of similar type. The machining structure already worked out is thus quickly and easily copied to a different component, enormously reducing programming time. Configuration databases In...
