On display and presented over the course of the two days were the advances in Tebis 5-axis technology in milling, promising significant time savings through maximised cutting performance as well as improved representation of the virtual workshop for simulation purposes enabling even more realistic possibilities for configuring virtual machines with extension parts.
Both aspects will be launched with version 4.0 release 6. Attendees and delegates were also able to view simplified management of manufacturing knowledge in Tebis’ process libraries – the optimisation of which will also be seen within release 6.
Developments in parametric design – Tebis’ independently developed hybrid technology which enables the rapid and easily modified manufacture of parts and manufacturing stages were demonstrated, as was the new Tebis Job Manager which forms the basis for further improved automation. These will be introduced with Tebis version 4.1.
There were also presentations about getting started in digital order planning and control (MES) with ProLeiS. The two new ProLeiS starter packages for machine data acquisition and manufacturing data management provide a simple and inexpensive introduction and are available now.
There were many guest speakers from Germany and other countries for the 2018 line-up of presentations. Tebis customers, speakers from universities and Tebis product managers delivered 24 well-attended presentations over the two days.
Among others, Tebis customers such as Nissan Motor Co. (Japan), FAW Tooling Die Manufacturing Co. (People’s Republic of China), Meco GmbH (Germany) and Cecomp Spa (Italy) presented their experiences with Tebis on initial implementation and in practical use as well as the results achieved.
Tebis offered four exhibit areas grouped by technologies where users, business managers, Tebis experts and interested parties met for discussions in lounges specially set-up for this purpose. Topics included the need for qualified personnel, Industry 4.0 and digital manufacturing management with ProLeiS.
This year, in addition to the Tebis software technologies, attendees were able to meet more than 20 partners, spanning related disciplines such as machining, tooling, workholding and scanning.
