    Cleverly combining turning and milling

    Turn-milling, mill-turning or interpolation turning
     
    Tebis CAD/CAM maximizes the efficiency of your manufacturing

    Combined turn-milling can be used to perform end-to-end turning and milling operations on a single machine without reclamping, resulting in high efficiency and reduced costs and throughput time. It also enables you to manufacture very complex and high-quality parts.

    No wonder this versatile manufacturing method is growing in popularity throughout various industries, including. aerospace, energy, medical technology, automotive and semiconductor.

    Don’t wait to offer extended range!

    With Tebis, you only need one postprocessor for any combination of drilling, turning or milling.

    In addition to turn-milling and mill-turning, Tebis also supports interpolation turning.

    You can benefit from this modern manufacturing method while turning on milling machines.

    We have the solution for every challenge

    There’s no reason to fear the usual challenges in combined turn-milling

    ✔️Our solution: In Tebis, all toolpaths are safely checked for collisions before NC output, accounting for all traverse movements and machine components. No additional software is needed, so you can benefit from unattended and nearly full automated manufacturing on the machine.

    ✔️Our solution: Many programming tasks can be automated in Tebis. End-to-end turning and milling programs are generated in the same application and reference one another. This simplifies training of new employees and integration in existing processes, and our user-friendly software makes re-training machine operators easy.

    ✔️Our solution: Tebis combines automation and flexibility to precisely meet market requirements – there are no limitations from inflexible packages with a limited scope of functions. This means you’re optimally prepared for programming complex parts. You’ll get the maximum out of the part and the manufacturing!

    ✔️Our solution: Tebis supports the tight tolerances necessary in turning. At the same time, Tebis directly probes surfaces, ensures optimal distribution of the NC points – best-in-surface finish is guaranteed.

    ✔️Our solution: In Tebis, the appropriate cutting data for all machining types and materials can be stored with the virtual tools. You’ll output only optimal toolpaths that perfectly match the machine’s characteristics.

    ✔️Our solution: Maximum tool life can be specified for tools in Tebis. Once the tool life is reached, the tool is automatically replaced. Or, a measuring program for the tool can be generated. The tool is measured on the machine and automatically exchanged with its twin tool when necessary. No more tool breakage, no more machine downtime. 

    Benefit from our versatile solutions for combined turn-milling. 

    Tebis perfectly positions you for your range of parts and machines.

    Turn-milling

    For automated manufacturing on complex machining centers

    Tebis gives you full control over your machines, including all positioning movements. This enables reduced personnel and automated manufacturing without the machine operator having to intervene.

    Interpolation turning

    For cost-effective and efficient manufacturing of symmetrical part areas on all machines with position-controlled spindles

    This new manufacturing method is the hottest trend, and with good reason: It enables turning on all machines, including milling machines, with a position-controlled spindle. This approach is particularly suitable for parts with only a few rotationally symmetrical elements (e.g., more milling than turning, but with high efficiency). It can all be done cost effectively, on one machine, up to 80% faster and fully supported by Tebis.

    Tool interpolation, table interpolation, tilted machining: everything is possible.
