    Tebis solution for die manufacturing

    Manufacturing precise dies quickly and automatically

    As a manufacturer of sheet-metal dies or progressive dies, you’re currently confronted with many challenges. Price pressure is high, and even complex dies must be delivered faster than ever while requirements for their quality are simultaneously on the rise. Qualified personnel are scarce, and order quantities are fluctuating. The key to maintaining a presence in the market despite these challenges lies in better utilization of your machines, shorter throughput times, increased productivity and the reduction of correction loops and manual reworking in tryout. 

    With our extensive experience and expertise in die manufacturing, we support you in improving your technical CAD/CAM processes and your logistical and organizational MES processes. We develop special software components and maintain our own consulting teams for both areas.

    We take a comprehensive approach to evaluating design, NC preparation, NC programming and tryout: Tebis software and services provide end-to-end and highly automated overall solutions. Our customers report efficiency increases of over 50 percent.

    CAD solutions

    The basis for automated NC programming and the highest fitting accuracy

    Save time in NC programming, on the machine and in tryout.

    • Scan areas or the entire die with reverse engineering and create high-quality surfaces.
    • Because Tebis can mill both on digitized data and on surfaces, you can combine scanned and designed part areas.
    • Instead of working with NC attributes and allowances, you can easily design positive and negative reliefs and pressure surfaces directly in the active surfaces that shape the part.
    • With springback compensation, you can deform surface models based on FEM forecasts or measurements, thereby reducing the number of correction loops.
    • The process solution for small parts automatically cuts the solid geometry, axes, features and active surfaces to form a precise geometry that precisely corresponds to the finished part.
    • The data processing functions can be used to conveniently prepare geometries for automatic NC programming.
    • With parametric CAD templates, you prepare your part for CAM programming with a mouse click.

    Springback compensation in various stages. Far right: the result in reflection analysis.

    Efficient active surface design with precisely designed reliefs and pressure surfaces.

    Highly automated small parts process for trim and coining steels.

    CAM solutions

    Highly automated and flexible

    Tebis lets you generate efficient and reliable NC programs for all manufacturing technologies that are relevant to die manufacturing.

    • 2.5D drilling and milling for prismatic machining
    • 3D milling and 5-axis simultaneous machining: for example, using modern high-performance tools like circle-segment cutters
    • Laser weld cladding for repairs
    • Laser hardening in trim and coining steel manufacturing
    • Laser cutting for sheet-metal trimming in tryout

    Tebis simulation technology is very beneficial : Tebis lets you plan, check and program from end to end using digital twins. The entire manufacturing environment with all machines and tools can be represented in the virtual world on a one to one basis. You retain full control over your machine hall. Only collision-checked NC programs are sent to the machine – an essential prerequisite for multi-machine operation and reduced-personnel manufacturing.

    Efficient manufacturing with multiple setups

    MES ProLeiS

    Plan, control and evaluate projects

    Our ProLeiS MES software gives Tebis customers a clear picture of scheduled, ongoing and potential projects. This allows you to control your resources, optimize your production performance and ensure on-time delivery.

    • Pre-planning of your own manufacturing resources like machines for advance detection of scheduling conflicts in order inquiries
    • Manufacturing planning for ideal utilization of your own and external resources when placing orders
    • Control and inform all employees in all planned implementation areas by the specified deadlines
    • Registration and documentation of faults for continuous process improvement
    • Registration and visualization of operating and machine data: for example, in the form of dashboards
    • Material management of blanks, finished parts and tools
    • Document management for CAD files, NC programs and all other manufacturing-related electronic documents.
