Automated Intelligent Manufacturing And Feature Technology With Tebis CAD/CAM

MTDCNC recently invited Paul Scally, Operations Manager from Tebis UK to talk about Tebis automation and the features based technology. Paul informs Joe Reynolds why companies need Tebis automation: “Many companies have engineers who are programming in different ways, there is inconsistent quality in the parts or maybe they are not getting the best use out of their CAD/CAM systems and this is where Tebis can help. What we aim to do is to standardise your processes with automation and improve the quality with all the components at the same time.” Feature based technology Paul continues to evaluate the Tebis benefits: “Tebis is able to scan a component and auto-detect all for these features from CAD-geometry. In Tebis there are the libraries with the features and attached to these features are variables. The cutting hole can be ranged for example, from 5mm to 8mm. The software can then automate the machine process with variables. So it picks the correct tools for the correct size hole automatically.” Templates Paul clearly describes the next topic; Tebis has the technology packages which can help to start with, or Tebis can also send out an engineer who can come and help the user to set-up everything. Tebis will make sure that the software is working in the most efficient manner from the beginning.
