Case Study: Alpex Technologies achieves faster, highly automated die and fixture production with Tebis CAD/CAM

Alpex Technologies halves milling time with Tebis and saves 130+ programming hours

Alpex Technologies GmbH, a manufacturer of complex dies and molds for the aerospace and automotive industries, faced challenges in efficiently programming its unique, large-scale workpieces. The company needed to automate its processes to maximize machine utilization across multiple shifts and free up its programmers from repetitive manual tasks. To address this, they implemented the Tebis CAD/CAM package.

By utilizing Tebis Version 4.1, specifically its NCSets (NC templates) for automated programming and high-performance cycles for barrel cutters, Alpex achieved significant efficiency gains. The solution from Tebis saved over 20 minutes of programming time per die half, totaling more than 130 work-hours annually. This automation allowed them to run machines unattended on nights and weekends, cut milling time in half on a large project, and reduce polishing time by two-thirds, all while improving safety and surface quality.
