End-to-end automated processes are more important than ever in the manufacturing industry. Tebis Version 4.1 Release 8 has been enhancing flexibility in automation like never before. In addition to turn-milling and mill-turning, Tebis 4.1 Release 8 also supports interpolation turning, which enables the easy and cost-effective production of rotationally symmetrical areas on many milling machines. Combined turn-milling can be used to perform turning and milling operations end-to-end on a single machine without reclamping. This combined approach is highly efficient, reduces throughput time and drastically cuts costs.
Tebis Key Account Manager Christoph Brückner explains:
The relatively new manufacturing method of interpolation turning is very popular. It enables turning on all machines that have a position-controlled spindle, including milling machines. This method is especially appropriate for parts with many milled elements and fewer turned elements. Time savings of up to 80 percent can be achieved with interpolation turning, because areas that previously had to be milled can now be turned.
It also allows the use of simple turning tools that have a long tool life instead of high-cost ground milling tools. Because the cutter is in continuous contact in interpolation turning, very high surface qualities are achieved.
Tebis is the only system on the market that’s mastered the next developmental stage of interpolation turning – namely, 6-axis simultaneous interpolation turning.
In addition to turn-milling and mill-turning, Tebis Version 4.1 Release 8 has now added interpolation turning to the mix
“With 6-axis simultaneous interpolation turning, even undercut areas can be manufactured easily and efficiently in a single setup,” says Jakub Dittmar, Product Manager at Tebis. “Because very short tools can be used in multi-axis turning and the spindle interpolates very smoothly, this type of machining gives us an even better surface quality. It’s therefore the ideal technology when precision is foremost.”
Combined turn-milling as an introduction to an expanding product portfolio
Nearly all industry sectors manufacture parts that require turning and/or milling operations. They include the aerospace industry, the energy sector, medical technology and the automotive and semiconductor industries.
Due to its versatile solutions with turn-mill, mill-turning and interpolation turning, Tebis is the perfect solution for companies that want to increase their manufacturing capabilities.
