The PEPS wire EDM module has been developed in cooperation with leading machine manufacturers and is being continuously adjusted to the latest functions of the wire EDM machines. The advanced capabilities of the product make PEPS the market leader in this field, and it is recommended by many machine manufacturers.
PEPS offers original technology databases for all common manufacturers. The user can either access the machine databases directly via interfaces, import the machine databases himself or is provided with a database which has already been converted.

Automatic Feature Recognition in the PEPS Milling Module. The Feature Recognition is based on 3D CAD data which is read in via direct interfaces or neutral formats such as STEP or Parasolid.
Your advantage:
Complex parts can be programmed very quickly and comfortably due to the combination of machining schemes.
Thanks to the integrated color recognition, a clear allocation of the machining features is possible.
The PEPS machine kinematics simulation in the field of milling allows a high-quality display of the machining features. Thanks to the display of the complete machine room, machining processes can be simulated, checked for collisions and optimized already during the creation of the program. The machine run times are significantly increased, and expensive collisions are avoided. Additionally, the simulation can be saved. Therefore, it can also be presented on computers on which PEPS has not been installed.
The integration of the Milling module into the Turning module plus a fully integrated machine kinematics simulation result in the perfect solution for the programming of turning and milling machines. Due to the representation of the complete machine room, machining processes are simulated and optimized in real time. To avoid input data errors, the actual state of the part can be checked at any time during the simulation.
Main and counter spindle machining, roughing with two tools at the same time, automatic synchronization and collision check by the integrated 3D machine kinematics simulation.
Machining strategies such as longitudinal turning, facing and free hand turning are complemented by the machine cycle output for roughing, drilling, thread turning and tapping, grooving and automatic subspindle, which shortens the NC programs significantly and simplifies a later optimization.
The PEPS Turning module offers the possibility to modify the technology in different sections of the geometry. This includes parameters such as feed, RPM or the insertion of any M-code and/or G-command.
The variants programming for families of parts is used for the automatic creation of geometry and machining features.
The part to be manufactured can be measured in its current simulation state in the machine kinematics simulation.
The machining times are output to an Excel list per tool, including main, rapid and non-productive times.
2-Axes Laser, Plasma and Water Jet Cutting and Punching
These powerful PEPS modules for 2D sheet metal working are characterized by an effective creation of the NC program and a very high level of automation. CAD files are imported and cleaned, and a fully automatic nesting module ensures an optimal material utilization.
The expert system integrated into PEPS creates the machining fully automatically, based on predefined technology parameters. PEPS enables the creation of the NC program and machining simulation for machines of different manufacturers, including job management. Due to preset priorities, urgently needed parts are machined first, despite full automation.
Cluster Nesting enables the fully automatic or semi-automatic nesting of parts on metal sheets. The semi-automatic Nesting contains a lot of functions which support the interactive nesting of parts. The automatic Nesting places the parts on the metal sheet, in dependence of various parameters. Here it is possible to output the sizes of the metal sheets as well as the distances between the parts and the permitted rotation angles of the parts. It is also possible to define filling parts – all for the purpose of an optimal material utilization.
The powerful PEPS modules PentaCut and TubeCut have been developed for the programming of complex laser and water jet cutting machines with up to 6 simultaneously controlled axes. They are characterized by a very high level of automation. The tool paths are created fully automatically by the integrated feature recognition. If necessary, it is possible at any time to optimize the created machining suggestion.
The collision check simulation integrated in PentaCut and TubeCut ensures the necessary safety of the machining process.
The module SolidElectrode is used for the creation of electrodes as well as for machining simulations with collision check. In conjunction with the corresponding postprocessor, it enables the creation of NC programs for vertical eroding machines.
The gear module is used to calculate involute gears. The involute can be manipulated very easily by entering a profile shift, the roller distance, testing mass across teeth, tip and root diameter as well as tip and root radii. Additionally, the gear module provides all the data and dimensions for machining and inspecting the gear.
NC program and drawing management
CAMMAN is a powerful data management system for the administration of NC programs, fixture plates and CAD data including SAP and ERP-interfaces. CAMMAN gives you easy access to existing data files and allows the input of additional information, e.g. drawing number, order number, project number, version number, customer, comment, date, programmer, machine as well as security confirmations for DNC Systems. The file selection is supported by an integrated 3D graphic viewer. By using the CAMMAN data management system, the designer, the programmer and the machine operator share the same database, thus avoiding confusion and mistakes.
Individual adaptations and the connection to already existing databases are easy.
Job Manager in connection with automatic Nesting
The JOBMAN Job Manager automatically creates nesting orders. Parts of the same material and thickness are selected by JOBMAN and transferred to the Random Shape Nesting module. The parts are automatically selected from various orders and then nested on the sheet. With the JOBMAN Job Manager it is guaranteed that all parts of an order are made out of the correct material at the right time.
to PPS systems
Interfaces to all ERP/PPS systems, e.g. SAP, 3R Sigma, Zwicker, Schubert etc., are optionally available for CAMMAN and JOBMAN.
Safe data transfer between the server and the machine, including recharging.
Our committed and experienced instructors impart basic and advanced knowledge
of each PEPS module at our training centers or at the customer's site.
A relaxed atmosphere, small groups and practice-oriented examples make
sure that PEPS can be used efficiently within a short period of time.
Upon request, we offer you training courses for the modules Laser, Penta and TubeCut and Turning as well as individual training, on site or in our training rooms in Weinstadt.
