Bermont Gage & Automation is a precision machining company, specializing in high-mix, custom parts with tight tolerances and unusual geometries. Programmers routinely create six to seven new-part programs per day, making efficiency, consistency, and reliability essential to maintaining margins and meeting customer timelines.

Before Tebis, programmers often had to create separate toolpaths for individual features, build supporting geometry, and spend significant time troubleshooting cutter paths. The result was inconsistent output, machining disruptions, and lost programming time.

Bermont’s investment in Tebis was supported, in part, by a State of Michigan manufacturing grant. Flexible subscription and perpetual licensing options also aligned with the company’s business objectives. The decision was further reinforced by Bermont’s shop floor supervisor, who had previous experience with Tebis and was impressed by its advances in automation and parametric programming.

 Additional benefits include greater shop-floor confidence, standardized machining quality, reduced rework and fewer crashes, and more competitive quoting based on lower programmingtime assumptions. The team also achieved immediate success programming complex parts involving unusual pipe taps, mixed geometries, and intricate hole types.
