Extensive range of CAD interfaces PEPS Turning 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 Turning 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 cut-path programming and process simulation. Comprehensive machine library PEPS Turning contains a comprehensive library of Turning machines from a large number of leading Machine Tool manufacturers; including Acramatic, EltroPilot, Fagor, Fanuc, GE, Num, Okuma OSP, Philips, Siemens and Traub. Comprehensive tool and material database PEPS Turning has a fully integrated tool management database. Tools and tool holders are stored with all the relevant data associated to material types and cutting conditions. Default programming styles can be set up so that accurate information is automatically returned to the programmer; such as feed and speed information. The tool database can be intuitively interrogated using standard searching, ordering, grouping and filtering functionality; also it can be expanded by importing tool information from external sources. Parametric Models PEPS Turning allows the user to parametrically model stock material, chucks, jaws, collets, face drivers, mandrels, centres and tailstocks. All of the parametric models can be used in simulating the programmed job, providing more accurate collision checking.
