PEPS Surface Milling - 24595 : peps surface milling

generate high quality 3D toolpaths PEPS Surface Milling is a leading surface machining CAD/CAM system developed specifically with tool & die and mould manufacturers in mind. It offers an intuitive environment for the design and comprehensive programming of complex parts.

Extensive range of CAD interfaces Tool library with holders, cutting parameters and sister tooling PEPS Surface Milling 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 Surface Milling can display the CAD data as simple wireframe, solids and surfaces or a combination of both; which is used as the source for all toolpath programming and simulation. Catalogues of tools, holders, extensions, adapters, feeds and speeds make it easy to keep control of and make use of the available tooling and utilise the optimum feeds and speeds. For long machining cycles, PEPS Surface Milling will keep track of the amount of machining completed with a tool. When the specified tool life has been reached the system will automatically call for a sister tool, minimising the risk of damage to the part being machined, by worn or broken tooling. Fully integrated CAD functionality PEPS Surface Milling CAD module offers a powerful, fully functional CAD system with a large number of possibilities for constructing surfaces and solids. Solids can be created by adding or subtracting simple solid shapes or by more advanced techniques; such as, sweeping, extruding and lofting. Surfaces and solids can also be constructed from 2D drafting or 3D wireframe geometry. PEPS Surface Milling also has an extensive number of geometry modification tools that can be applied to either existing geometry or imported models; including repairing / removing holes and other features, creating constant / variable radius blends and adding draft angles.
