The PEPS suite of software is a Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) system based upon an integrated suite of software with facilities for designing geometrical models with its in-built CAD drawing tools or importing models from external CAD systems, and CNC part programming. The PEPS system takes a central part in fully integrated CAM installations, but is also ideally placed to provide an affordable solution to the CNC part programming needs of engineering businesses of all sizes.

PEPS is available for metal cutting operations such as:

  • Wire EDM
  • 5 axis Laser cutting
  • Tube Laser cutting
  • 3D Surface Milling
  • Production Milling
  • Production Turning

PEPS software allows machines to produce components economically and can extend the range of work that a user is able to manufacture. The result may be a new lease of life for older machines, making them more productive without involving the owner in expensive replacement or maximising the output from new.

The system's key benefit is its unique approach, offering powerful features with extreme simplicity of use. The adoption of a graphical user interface under Windows on a stand-alone or networked PC provides an intuitive method of working. Using an industry standard system in this way greatly reduces training times and ensures you produce NC programs quickly and effectively.

The system is supported by a set of Post Processors that generate high quality CNC code for each individual machine tool, the CNC code produced is unmatched by competitive systems for reliability and quality, Camtek does not believe in the concept of customers having to edit our CNC code, we produce it ready for the machine. PEPS software offers considerable scope for users to reduce scrap, improve quality, increase material utilisation, reduce prove-out times and substantially enhance the productivity.

All PEPS modules come 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 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.
