    Tebis 4.1 Release 11: a virtual start for safe, precise manufacturing

    With the development of Tebis 4.1 Release 11, we have further improved performance, safety, and user convenience: 

    • The new ultra-fast tool search speeds up the entire workflow—even with very large databases.
    • Early conflict detection, advanced simulation, and flexible positioning capabilities make robotic machining even safer and more intuitive.
    • And for the first time, automatic collision avoidance now reliably protects laser cutting too.
    In brief: Release 11 makes your day-to-day work even faster, safer, and more convenient.

    Tebis 4.1 Release 11 launches in late March.

    Ultra-fast tool search

    Even with large data volumes

    Tebis Release 11 provides the next far-reaching performance boost, which users will notice in many key areas: smoother operation, shorter response times, and significantly faster search and loading processes. Processing is significantly accelerated for library information, NCJobs, variables, and geometries—a tremendous benefit for large projects and complex data sets.

    The speed-up is especially obvious with the tool search function: In the tool library, or in the NCJob, users can rapidly locate tools from internal and external sources, searching by properties like programming length, diameter, or tool type, or by using any search string.

    This ensures maximum transparency and full control of expanding tool databases.

    In this example, the data comes from the Zoller TMS and an external tool library managed in Tebis. Even with over 50,000 tool assemblies and components, Tebis returns results immediately. 

    Your benefits at a glance

    • Ultra-fast tool search: Find tools in seconds—even in extremely large libraries

    • Smooth operation, no waiting: Noticeably faster responses in many areas of the system

    • Maximum control: Efficient management, regardless of the data source

    • Greater everyday efficiency: Search faster, decide faster, manufacture faster

    Result: Tebis Release 11 offers the highest level of performance—and raises the bar in tool management compared to the competition.

    Optimized robotic machining

    Even safer and more intuitive

    Release 11 includes a comprehensive expansion of robotic machining in Tebis, which now boasts even greater safety, flexibility, and user-friendliness. In the virtual Tebis CAD/CAM environment, you can reliably check and control the entire machining process—including the working space and all movements—in the usual way. The software supports robots with up to 6 axes and 2 additional axes.

    Early conflict detection in the calculation stage: This release introduces very early detection of robot-specific conflicts in the interactive toolpath calculation process.
    Tebis now detects singularities, reachability limitations, and configuration changes earlier than ever. Conflicts are visualized clearly and can be resolved in the model—in a fast, logical, and fully interactive workflow process. This saves time and increases safety right from the CAM programming stage.

    Simulation including connection movements: Simulation capabilities have also been expanded. In addition to the actual toolpaths, Tebis now also checks all connection movements— movements between toolpaths—during robotic machining, as well as tool change movements. This allows even more thorough identification of potential robot conflicts—before the process starts on the real machine.

    Potential conflicts such as limit switches or singularities can already be detected during CAM programming. 

    The robot automatically moves between the machining positions (left and right) along a safe path (center).

    Higher process quality through optimized toolpaths and flexible positioning

    Flexible positioning for tool axes, robot configurations, and additional axes.

    Greater freedom in robot positioning: The robot positioning capabilities have also been further improved:
    Z-rotation of tool axes, robot configurations, and additional axes can be combined flexibly and adjusted in just a few steps. This offers greater programming flexibility and makes working with the system noticeably more efficient and convenient.

    Optimized toolpaths for machining with additional axes: New algorithms generate optimized toolpaths for machining with additional axes, for example, when using rotary tables or linear axes. This ensures more harmonious movement sequences, greater process safety, and better results for complex machining operations.

    Your benefits at a glance

    • Greater safety: Early conflict detection during calculation, plus additional checks of all connection movements in the simulation
    • Maximum flexibility: Freely combine robot and additional axis positions
    • Intuitive, interactive operation: Resolve conflicts easily and optimize positioning directly
    • Maximum user-friendliness: All functions fully integrated into the familiar Tebis environment

    Result: Fast, safe, and collision-free NC programs for robotic machining—created efficiently and optimized conveniently.

    Safe laser cutting 

    Automatic collision avoidance now also available for lasers

    Tebis Release 11 makes laser cutting even safer and more convenient:
    Tebis’s proven collision avoidance capabilities are now also available for laser cutting and laser weld cladding—providing comprehensive protection for the entire process. They already reliably identify and automatically avoid critical situations during the calculation process, taking full account of the machine head. Manual adjustments are no longer necessary.

    For analysis, the “Angle/Tilt” feature is available in the simulation. If safe avoidance is not possible, Tebis saves the affected vectors at the boundaries of the collision areas directly in the CAD model. This allows targeted identification, evaluation, and safe resolution of problematic areas.

    Automatic collision avoidance with full consideration of the machine head.

    Your benefits at a glance

    • Maximum safety: Automatic collision avoidance now also available for laser cutting—with full consideration of the machine head
    • Less programming effort: Significantly less manual reworking
    • Precise evaluation: Analysis with clear CAD visualization
    • Flexible handling: Automatic and manual optimizations can be combined freely

    Result: Safer, more efficient, and collision-free programs for laser cutting—with intelligent machine head protection.
