CAD / CAM software for 2 to 5-axis milling
TEBIS

The combination of large milling tools and high cutting capacity, followed by small cutters for remachining, is the most effective way to mill surfaces. The Tebis 3+2 Axis Residual Stock Removal module locates the areas to be remachined and automatically calculates the necessary toolpaths.

To use this strategy the system must reliably detect the component areas that a larger milling tool was unable to reach.

This Tebis module is the ideal tool for this purpose. It helps NC programmers remachine specific fillets and other concave recesses. When determining the residual stock zones, Tebis takes the cutting-edge geometries as well as the preceding and following tools into account. The system accepts end mills as well as torus and ball-end cutters.
The right strategy for perfect surface finish

You can use different strategies to machine residual-stock zones, such as milling along the fillet in shallow areas and bump-cutting in steep regions. Tebis makes a distinction between flat and steep areas according to on the limit angle entered. Depending on the component steepness, an axis-parallel, contour-parallel or z-profiling strategy can be selected for milling corners and grooves. For contour-parallel machining, the system automatically uses the previously determined area limit as the boundary contour.
