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.
