Cooperating with MIT, Richard Kegg made the Cincinnati Milacron Hydrotel – the initial CNC milling machine in 1952. He patented it under the name ‘Motor Controlled Apparatus for Positioning Machine Tool’ in 1958. This was the starting point of the commercial development of the technology.

More Productive than CNC Swiss-Type Lathes
More than 40 percent of the parts cut on CNC Swiss-type lathes can be made on CNC multi-spindle lathes at a fraction of the cost. While more expensive, CNC multi-spindle machines can turn and mill parts up to six times faster and from standard barstock.

Multiple setup with Tebis means truly maximized machining capacity.

Benefits:
Reliable template-based programming
Maximized machining capacity with simulation
Broad range of functions and user-friendly format

Jaguar Land Rover`s Model Operations department was first introduced to Tebis in 1999. Today Jaguar Land Rover is Tebis UK's oldest and largest customer. CAD/CAM technology has completely changed work methods in this department over the past 15 years – and its processes will definitely be further optimized using Tebis in the future as well.
