“With our previous software we had four programming seats to support four machines. With Tebis we have gotten that down to one seat and the machines can’t keep up with what we are programming.”

Craig Rollag, Production Supervisor

Tennant Company, Minneapolis, MN, United States

"The software allows us to produce our parts more efficiently and to a more accurate tolerance. Before we were teaching the parts by hand on to the machines and this meant we couldn’t hold the tolerance of the drawings."

Tim Spalton, Mechanical director

Interform Manufacturing Ltd., High Wycombe, UK

"We're saving time, we're manufacturing much more effectively and we're achieving better results faster and with fewer personnel."

"We achieved a 60% increase in manufacturing efficiency using sinker EDM." 

Markus Rausch, Junior director and technical operations manager

RAUSCH formenbau GmbH, Hösbach, Germany

"We were able to take over three more machines from a different location and operate them with our available personnel. This corresponds to roughly 12,000 hours of additional manufacturing capacity per year that we no longer have to purchase from external contractors."

Jürgen Fichtner, Operations manager

Frimo Sontra GmbH, Lotte, Germany

"Thanks to process and investment advice, we were able to increase our productivity by 15% per year. Even during the 2009-2010 crisis we could invest in new machines and technology to continuously improve our financial position despite the collapsed market at the time."

"Nobody wants to go back to how things were before ProLeiS. The system quickly provides us with all the data we need and enables us to quickly and flexibility respond to short-term challenges. With ProLeiS, we’re also laying the groundwork for our automation, which we’ll be taking on soon." 

"Even if just one pressure area was overlooked in the process, the correction cost us up to 10,000 Euros. Today, for example, we install dies for doors that we previously had to rework directly in the press for roughly 160 hours"
