Extensive range of CAD interfaces
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 all three;
which is used as the source for all
toolpath programming and simulation
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.
Tool library with holders, cutting
parameters and sister tooling
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.
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.
