PEPS Milling is a leading CAD/CAM system that
provides a practical and intuitive solution for
the offline programming of 2 and 3 axis Milling
machines, with support for indexable rotary
axes. PEPS Milling is used in thousands of
product manufacturing, precision engineering
and tool making companies around the globe.

Extensive range of CAD interfaces
PEPS 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
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 cut-path
programming and process simulation.
Comprehensive machine library
PEPS Milling contains a
comprehensive library of milling
machines from a large number of
leading Machine Tool manufacturers;
including Acramatic, Deckel, Fadal,
Fagor, Fanuc, Haas, Heidenhein,
Hitachi-Seiki, Hurco, GE, Maho/
Philips, Matsuura, Mori-Seiki, Num,
Protrak, Siemens and Yasnac.
Comprehensive tool and material
database
PEPS Milling 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.
Configurable postprocessors
An extensive library of advanced
postprocessors is available to
suit most machine tools and all
postprocessors are fully configurable
to suit individual requirements;
they aren’t just limited to the use of
generic G and M codes. Canned
cycles for drilling, subroutines to
reduce program length, circular
interpolation, cutter radius and tool
length compensation all combine to
produce reliable NC code which is
easy to use on the shop floor.
