Link between the Tebis toolpath and the NC machine.
Toolpaths that you calculate in Tebis are output to a machine and controller-specific format via the NC interface (PU T NC). CAM stations as well as NC Viewer and Simulator stations come with NC interfaces as standard equipment.
NC programmers or machine operators either define the machinespecific processor or they first export the NC program in a neutral format in which case it can be converted into a special controller format on a Tebis DNC station during subsequent transmission.
Tool magazines and tool tables
During NC output, the toolsets for calculated toolpaths are managed by tool magazines and tool tables. For example, a reference is established between tools from the tool library used for NC programming and the physical magazine positions of certain machines. You can then insert additional tools used for the toolpath into this magazine as needed. This enables machine-tool operators to maintain an overview of the equipment needed for their machines.
Postprocessors
Tebis provides a wide range of preconfigured postprocessors
* for 3+2 axis milling
* for 2.5D drilling and milling
* for 5-axis milling
* for 5-axis laser cutting
Special postprocessors are also available according to customer specifications. The “generalized” postprocessor can be used to generate any individual controller formats on the customer’s premises.
