: peps pentacut

multi-axis laser technology for 3D sheet metal components PEPS Pentacut is an industry leading 5 axis Laser CAD/CAM system developed specifically for the general engineering, automotive and aerospace industries. PEPS Pentacut offers an intuitive environment for the comprehensive programming of multi-axis laser or water-jet cutting machines.

Extensive range of CAD interfaces PEPS Pentacut comes with an extensive range of integrated CAD data translators that allow the direct import of CAD drawings in their native form or as industry standards, such as IGES, STEP and DXF. The standard system configuration comes with interfaces for DXF, AutoCAD DWG, AutoCAD- Inventor, VISI, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, IronCad and IGES. Optional CATIA V4, CATIA V5, Unigraphics, Pro Engineer, VDA and STEP translators are available. PEPS Pentacut can display the CAD data as simple wireframe, solids and surfaces or a combination of both; which are used as the source for all cut-path programming and process simulation. Automated fixture design Stamped forms typically need to be held using fixtures and within PEPS Pentacut this can be done in a number of ways. One way is to import clamps and fixtures from external files and then manually reposition them. Another way is to use the Fixture Design utility to create the support fixtures using sheet metal. Simply define the number of horizontal and vertical support sheets, how they interlock - including locking features if you require them - and how they run-off the part. Once these details have been defined, PEPS Pentacut creates each sheet, nests them on standard sheet metal sizes, adds assembly notes such as number references and creates the NC code with which to manufacture them. Comprehensive machine and postprocessor database PEPS Pentacut contains a comprehensive database of laser and water-jet machines from a large number of Machine tool manufacturers; including NTC, Prima, Trumpf and Amada. Should a machine not be supported, PEPS Pentacut also contains a Machine Setup utility that allows the configuration of bespoke machine types and postprocessing information. The advanced postprocessors aren’t just limited to the use of generic G and M codes; posts are easily configured to suit different head configurations and table sizes.
