Single-part manufacturing requires fast and precise processes, both on the machine and within CAD/CAM programming. With Smartops, Tebis provides a solution that automates recurring tasks and helps reduce the workload in production environments. This approach supports shorter lead times, higher process reliability, and greater flexibility in day-to-day operations.

Key features of Smartops technology:

Automation: Dialog-guided CAD/CAM processes that can be executed largely autonomously.

Flexibility: Manual adjustments remain possible at any stage of programming.

Ease of use: Intuitive operation supports efficient NC programming.

Speed: High-quality NC programs can be generated in significantly less time.

Integration: The solution also simplifies and automates subsequent steps in the production process.

Automated: CAD/CAM processes are intuitively dialog-driven and run nearly autonomously.

Flexible: Whenever needed and whatever the task, users can make manual adjustments.

Simple: Intuitive operation means high-paced completion of NC programs.

Fast: High-quality NC programs — created in record time.

End-to-end: With Tebis process solutions, subsequent steps in the production process can also be significantly simplified and largely automated.

Smartops supports custom configuration: For instance, individual functions can be automated or combined into powerful sets. Typical process steps — such as importing CAD data, measuring blanks, positioning clamping devices, selecting materials and machines, setting measurement points, creating measuring paths, and generating CAM programs — can be linked intelligently and executed efficiently, even by less experienced users. Overall, the complete set of Tebis function modules can be used for Smartops Technology.

Tebis Smartops technology is user-friendly and flexible. All task are performed within the familiar Tebis environment. Dialogs are fully customizable, with parameters that can be adjusted at any time. Machines, tools, and part variants can be quickly and easily exchanged — enabling maximum adaptability throughout the manufacturing process.

Smartops build on the proven Tebis process libraries, which include a comprehensive repository of machines, tools, and manufacturing strategies. This foundation enables the systematic application of a company’s manufacturing expertise, ensuring safe, automated, and transparent production processes.

Within just one week, a focused training program equips teams with the skills needed for automated programming of prismatic parts, the company states. The featured highlight: A ready-to-use technology package that can be deployed at the company and expanded individually.

Positive feedback from pilot projects

Tebis Smartops technology, developed in close cooperation with project partners, has already demonstrated its effectiveness across multiple application scenarios. Partners especially emphasize its user-friendliness and ability to maximize efficiencies in the manufacturing process.

On that subject, Christian Sellerer, Head of Mechanical Manufacturing at Christian Karl Siebenwurst, comments: “Tebis used Smartops to continuously prepare and program one of our mold manufacturing slides for a milling application. I have to say: This experience makes me eager for more. We see great potential here and expect that Smartops will help us simplify and improve our CAD and CAM processes. We look forward to learning even more about this new, promising and transformative technology at our workshop with Tebis.”
