A unique, new tool that solves many of the complexities of modern engineering is now being used to advantage by industry. It is the IBES Seeing Eye, product of IBES, Inc. (International Basic Engineering Systems), Seattle, Wash.
There's nothing like it anywhere in the world, states James E. Joyce, vice-president and general manager of IBES. The IBES Seeing Eye is not a memory device but an output function. It cuts through manufacturing costs.
It draws. It tapes. It scales. It records. It inspects. It compares. It's an entirely new concept in data accumulation and conversion.
The unique IBES Seeing Eye is a systems tool comprised of interconnected units that provide advanced state electro-mechanical data. It substantially reduces the lead time from design to production.
As a professor from a leading western university says: It literally extends the hands of a highly skilled artisan so that duplicates of his original ideas can be mass produced.
The IBES Seeing Eye can: produce 3-dimensional illustrations in any rotated or tilted position; compare mating surfaces of two parts for accurate fit; provide data plane and point information in three axes through punched tape and print-out; convert models into accurate working lines; create plan, top and end views of section drawings, lofting drawings and finished engineering drawings in scale; provide production drawings from free-formed models; template lines for tracer operations, and many other operations.
Mr. Joyce said, A man can become an expert operator of the IBES Seeing Eye in two weeks.
Markets for the use of the remarkable new tool include automotive, aviation, shipbuilding, general data processing, electronics, quality control. Management, engineers, draftsmen, toolmakers, architects, mathematicians, programmers, all gain a competitive edge from savings in time, money and labor.
Some of the current users of this system are: Boeing Corporation, Bremerton Naval Shipyard, Marine Iron Works and Western Gear Corporation.
