PEPS MILLING 3D
Innovative programming system for 3-axis milling,
3+2-axis milling and 5-axis simultaneous milling.
Roughing
High speed roughing strategy
- Residual material machining
- Optimized face milling
- Plunge roughing
- Pocket milling, open or closed with any number of islands
- Plunging strategies spiral, with ramp or along the geometry
- Calculation of circumferential taper, top and bottom radius
and circumferential profile geometry on any contours
Finishing
- High-speed finishing strategy with permanent Z infeed
- Extensive radius correction variants
- Contour finishing with optimized approach/departure, with or without radius correction
- Overlapping when moving in and out
- Calculation of circumferential taper, top and bottom radius or any profile
- Automatic residual material processing
- Milling chamfers
- Milling with projection onto a sphere, a cylinder or an inclined plane
- Freehand milling and positioning
- Milling of ruled surfaces
- Engraving of any fonts (true-type fonts) in linear, circular, raised or recessed form, incl. sharpening of corners
- Technology change during contour processing
Oscillating processing (synchronized/counter-rotating)

Machine room simulation
The PEPS machine room simulation in the area of milling enables a very high-quality representation of the machining process. By displaying the complete machine room, machining processes are already simulated during programme creation, checked for collisions and optimised. This significantly increases machine runtimes and avoids costly collisions. In addition, the simulation can be saved. This means that it can also be presented on computers on which PEPS is not installed.
