At the EMO show, Tebis introduced its latest developments that included applications of Digital Twin and CAM Automation with CNC Process Standardisation.

 

Understanding that customers machines, tools and clamping devices are sophisticated and expensive, Tebis is fully focused on optimal utilisation and avoiding collisions and damage that can halt production.

To focus on these factors, Tebis has been developing and offering the capabilities to allow customers to build Digital Twin models into Tebis CAM software.

 

With Digital Twin models, Tebis completely simulates and checks NC programs against collisions to ensure the highest level of CNC machining safety.

 

The Tebis Digital Twin models are complete mirrors of the physical machines, tools and clamping devices, including multiple machine heads, machine kinematics, tool change movements, toolpath links and machine control macros.

 

With all these simulated and checked in the virtual world, workshop managers and machine tool operators can have the confidence to run machines unmanned.

Furthermore, Tebis' MES solution ProLeiS provides customers with production planning and control tools.

 

This means that machine and operation data on the shop floor can be acquired in real time and used for production planning and control.

 

Managers can have a detailed overview of all manufacturing projects and operation status of all machines.

With CAM Automation and CNC Process Standardisation, Tebis now replaces traditional, repetitive manual programming steps by automatically accessing stored manufacturing data.

 

The software evaluates the digital CAD part model and accesses structured images of the company's existing manufacturing environment and standardised manufacturing process data to calculate NC programs.

 

The Tebis manufacturing data libraries include machine tools, cutting tools, machining parameters, machining features and machining process templates.

 

All the information can be stored and managed across company wide computer network and possibly on the cloud.

 

This allows the best machining practices to be shared among CAM/CNC engineers.
