Case Study: Heinz Schwarz achieves higher productivity in die manufacturing with Tebis

Heinz Schwarz - Customer Case Study

Heinz Schwarz GmbH & Co. KG, a die manufacturer for the automotive industry, faced significant productivity challenges in its small parts machining process. The company struggled with lengthy active surface design, NC programming, setup, and machining times, leading to frequent machine idle time. To address these inefficiencies, Heinz Schwarz enlisted comprehensive process consulting from vendor Tebis, leveraging their CAD/CAM software and industry expertise.

Tebis implemented a solution that standardized processes, automated 2.5D machining with templates, and utilized their simulation methods for accurate planning. This resulted in dramatically improved productivity; the company now produces at least 50% more small parts compared to 2015. The effort required for preparation and programming was significantly reduced, and multiple machine operation became a fixed element of production, greatly increasing throughput.
