Typical application areas for this Tebis CAM module in die manufacturing include planar surfaces, seating surfaces, and fit and tapped holes for attaching trim steels to sheet metal dies. Mold manufacturers use the module for machining all kinds of pocket and planar surfaces as well as holes, such as step or deep-drilled holes for cooling and heating systems. But industrial and aerospace engineering are also typical application fields.
Use the drilling functions to program NC programs for bore holes, threads and fits. You can use the milling functions to create individual NC programs for pockets and planar surfaces and for vertical contours and their residual stock machining. With the feature technology, the functions will copy over all the geometry information with a single click of the mouse.
Effective and safe automation
NC set technology provides special advantages for 2.5D NC programming. The system accesses old machining sequences (NC sets) that were defined in the past by milling specialists and have been saved to a central location. The NC sets bundle individual functions for standardized machining steps such as multi-stepped holes, taps and pockets, including all necessary tools and the optimum cutting parameters. If the CAD model contains features (parametric manufacturing objects), NC programming can take place completely automatically because each feature will find the NC set defined for its manufacture. This will result in enormous reductions in NC programming work while increasing safety.
