Process solutions for the manufacturing industry

Since the implementation of Tebis at Secondo Mona, we’ve been manufacturing increasingly complex parts. We can approach the part precisely within half a millimeter when positioning, because we have the 3D model of the machine and tools in the library and we work in advance on collision avoidance.

The new process enables exactly the same dies to be quickly and efficiently fabricated and tried out for multiple locations at the same time. Our die manufacturers worldwide have benefited from this process. It allowed us to very quickly produce the dies for Mexico in a standardized process.

For a model of medium complexity, developing high-quality CAD design surfaces for the outer skin of a vehicle now takes roughly 50 hours. (Previously, it took about twice the time.)

When we decided to go with Tebis, we really hit the bull’s-eye. The collision checking is also very precise – better than what we saw in other systems.

If we weren't using Tebis, we wouldn't be where we are today.

Tebis is more than just a Cam software provider. For us Tebis is a process provider. The process chain from design to the milling machine has to be perfectly coordinated. Today we can run our machines 24/7 with only one shift.

To reduce our collision rate to zero and to simultaneously save time-consuming checking after postprocessing, we used a simulation with millimeter accuracy of the machine model and the tools in the virtual world. Only Tebis was able to do this.
