TEBIS V3.4 R2: THE MOST IMPORTANT BENEFITS FOR YOU.
Now, just a few months after the release of Tebis Version 3.4 R1, the next release is available. It provides many fundamental innovations, such as operation of ProLeis3 manufacturing planning and data management directly within the Tebis interface, or the integration of ToolControl, the solution for seamless process reliability, in the Tebis Simulator. In addition, you will discover many further advances in areas such as interfaces, speed and 2.5D machining. We have summarized the most important innovations and their application benefits below..
Tebis Base
Get a better overview with direct access to ProLeis3 from the Tebis interface. The new Tebis PDM interface links your CAD/CAM system with a manufacturing planning and data management system. Now you can access your projects with all CAD, NC and other project data in any format, directly from Tebis.
You can import and export data (when applicable) in proven Tebis quality, from and to current versions of Catia V5R19, Parasolid R19, Solidworks 2009, Pro/E Wildfire4 and UG NX6 systems. To make this possible, all direct interfaces to these systems have been revised and updated.
Improve your loading and processing times with smaller files. This also reduces data maintenance costs, since files are up to 35% smaller than in the past when compressed. This is especially beneficial for files with many stock model intermediate geometries.
An interface the neutral STEP format is now available, so you can now import data to this very popular CAD format. Please visit http://www.tebis.com/step to quickly and easily order this interface for testing purposes.
Tebis CAD
Quickly estimate the dimensions of parts and the positions of details. You can now display a scale on the familiar design grid as well.
Tebis CAM
Quick and easy milling of Z variable outlines, for example in the manufacturing of trim steels and coining steels in die manufacturing. In addition, flanks can be machined with a new Z variable strategy in the 2.5D drilling and milling module. Setting a maximum slope angle prevents undesirable steep toolpaths.
Use the Tebis roughing technology even more effectively with permanent stock model tracking across several roughing and reroughing machinings. For this, the blank calculation in plane roughing has been accelerated by an average factor of 2. For large parts with complex blanks, reroughing has been considerably accelerated by a factor of 4.
Maximize your process reliability, even when roughing blanks which do not fully correspond to the CAD data. For plunge movements from plane to plane, you now have the option to always use a ramp stepover, regardless of whether the plunge position is located in the blank or not.
Obtain your target geometry even faster with milling when roughing in planes. That's because the automatic recognition of planar areas for additional cuts can now be variably configured depending on the tool size. This let's you avoid the machining of small planar areas.
You can quickly combine digitized areas (purple) and CAD geometries (orange) to a complete stock model and just as easily generate offset blanks for undercut parts. Using the new variant for a 6-sided blank, you need to digitize blanks only in areas where they are to be machined.
Optimize your 3D trimming programming for milling and laser cutting machines. For this, we integrated the previous special version for 5 axis trimming and considerably expanded the options in the interactive calculation of laser cutting programs.
Tebis Simulator
You can reduce your setup times and quickly change over a part to another machine as needed. Tebis Simulator offers now automatic determination of the optimum setup arrangement for calculated machinings.
Increase the process reliability with rapid analysis of a toolpath and display of problem areas. The new conflict display in the property dialog of the NC program immediately indicates potential travel limit switch or collision issues.
Attain maximum process reliability with a collision check at the real tool available on the machine immediately prior to processing. To do this, ToolControl, directly linked to a setting and measuring device by Zoller, obtains the actual tool contours and uses them to verify the toolpaths on the virtual machine model in the Simulator.
