Tebis America announced the launch of its Version 4.0 Release 2 CAD/CAM software. This new launch is especially well-suited to the rough machining of deep cavities and is effective for hard material machining as well. In roughing, the DOC and the best utilization of cutting data ensure fast and cost-effective manufacturing while keeping tool costs low. The toolpath automatically adapts to the geometry without full-width machining. The integrated re-roughing counteracts the formation of larger steps in steep boundary areas. These areas can be machined from bottom to top with a smaller depth of cut.

Tebis has performed extensive tests on this version. "The best way to machine a component depends on a wide range of factors", explains Helmut Vergin, Tebis product manager. "These include the specific geometry, the material and the available tools and machines. Technology parameters such as cutting data and feed rates must be adapted accordingly to the machining. That is why it was important to conduct the tests with tool and machine manufacturers."
