Adaptive roughing strategies for Tebis V4.0 release 2

Tebis is promising high efficiency adaptive milling strategies as part of its soon-to-be-released Tebis Version 4.0 Release 2. The newly developed strategies are said to be especially suited to components with steep cavities, and can also be used for hard materials, particularly when using high performance cutters.

In the adaptive roughing strategies, Tebis says that the large depth of cut and optimal utilisation of cutting data ensures fast and cost-effective manufacturing. The toolpath layout is adapted automatically to the geometry, without full width machining, while 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 says it has performed extensive tests in conjunction with tool and machine manufacturers and can provide advice on how to implement and combine the new strategies to achieve best results.
