PEPS Pentacut Laser: Advanced CADCAM Software Solutions for the Manufacturing Industry

PEPS Pentacut Laser is an industry-leading 5-axis Laser CAD/CAM system developed specifically for the general engineering, automotive, and aerospace industries.

Features at a glance:

• Intuitive graphical user interface
• Extensive range of CAD interfaces; both for import and export
• Comprehensive machine and postprocessor database
• Locate large parts with simplified part location system
• Automated Fixture Design
• ‘One-click’ application of toolpath for inner and outer profiles
• Manual application of toolpath for selected areas
• Edit cut technology and nozzle setting at unlimited positions
• Total control of nozzle angle; either interactively or explicitly
• Create and apply saved technology data at any point
• Inter- and Intra-cut collision detection
• Full Solid 3D simulation of machine, nozzle, and part

Comprehensive machine and postprocessor database: PEPS Pentacut Laser contains a comprehensive database of laser and water-jet machines from a large number of Machine Tool manufacturers; including NTC, Prima, Trumpf, and Amada

Automated fixture design: Stamped forms typically need to be held using fixtures and within PEPS Pentacut Laser 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

Cutting-path creation: Cutting operations within PEPS Pentacut Laser can generally be divided into two areas: inner and outer trims. Outer trims are the external forms of the part whilst inner trims represent the internal cut-outs and other features to be machined.

Reduce machine wear. PEPS Pentacut Laser has a wealth of in-built features that allow for the optimization of the laser toolpath.

Toolpath verification and simulation. Within PEPS Pentacut Laser the toolpaths are presented showing the angle of the nozzle as it moves around the part. Instant feedback is provided about whether or not a specific move is possible – either in terms of machine head movement limits or accessibility strategy to reduce processing time

NC code simulation. The NC code can be re-imported into PEPS Pentacut Laser and simulated within the same environment in which it was created

PEPS Tubecut Laser is an industry-leading Laser CAD/CAM system for rotary and multi-axis cutting machines developed specifically for the tube cutting and manipulation industry.

Features at a glance:

• Intuitive graphical user interface
• Extensive range of CAD interfaces; both for import and export
• Comprehensive machine and postprocessor database
• Built-in library of standard tube and aperture types
• Nesting options available for parts over single or multiple pipes or sections
• ‘One-click’ application of toolpath for inner and outer profiles
• Manual application of toolpath for selected areas
• Edit cut technology and nozzle setting at unlimited positions
• Total control of nozzle angle; either interactively or explicitly
• Create and apply saved technology data at any point
• Inter- and Intra-cut collision detection
• Full Solid 3D simulation of machine, nozzle, and part
• Ability to import 3D geometry and machine them directly

Comprehensive machine and postprocessor database. PEPS Tubecut Laser contains a comprehensive database of laser machines from a large number of Machine Tool manufacturers; including Adige, NTC, Trumpf and Amada.

Library of Standard Tube sections. PEPS Tubecut Laser supplies a library of parametric tube shapes that simplify the creation of the tube material to be cut. If a suitable section does not exist, the ‘Freeform’ option is used to create the special shape section.

Library of Standard Shapes. In a similar way to tube sections, PEPS Tubecut Laser supplies a library of parametric hole shapes, again with the option to define ‘Freeform’ shapes; so specialist joint features such as duck tails, clips, and keyholes are easily added!

Nesting multiple parts on a single pipe or section. Where a number of small parts can be produced from a common tube section, it is possible to use the PEPS Tubecut Laser nesting option.

Reduce machine wear. PEPS Tubecut Laser has a wealth of in-built features that allow for the optimization of the laser toolpath.

Toolpath verification and simulation. Within PEPS Tubecut Laser the toolpaths are presented showing the angle of the nozzle as it moves around the part in a full solid simulation. Instant feedback is provided about whether or not a specific move is possible – either in terms of machine head movement limits or accessibility.
