Transforming Fabrication Efficiency

Why Automation Matters

Taking control of your profits comes from automation. PEP Technology’s CAD/CAM Software is your fully automated manufacturing software solution. PEP utilizes the intelligence built into the PEP software to create incredible results automatically in seconds without a skilled programmer.

Common cutting is not cheating, it’s common sense that reducing the cut distance by 30% creates huge profits. The PEP nesting engine analyzes each part and then nests to maximize common cutting. 400 inch long parts are not a problem, nor are notches and round corners when your software is SMART.

Shoving parts everywhere will create the illusion of a good nested sheet. If you are not controlling the heat, your robbing your company of profits. PEP’s nesting software is by far the best in the world. We know that material yield and heat dissipation go hand in hand.

Unlike GRAIN constraint, nesting with rotational constraint puts an emphasis on nesting parts horizontally to minimize the need for tabbing parts without sacrificing material yield.

The tabbing of parts is based upon the machine table slats and the part size. The database tab range is setup to assign the tab based upon the part size and the rotation of the part in the nest. Horizontal parts have zero or one tab, where the same part nested vertically will have two tabs.

Ball screws, linear drives, rack and pinion? Does any of this matter? YES, by the end of the year your expensive new machine just did ONE MILLION unnecessary head raises if you are not using PEP SMART HEAD RAISE TECHNOLOGY©

Attention to the details when quoting the job is everything. Automating with PEP closes more orders. We create the quote with actual run times, material costs, and secondary operations in a fraction of the time it takes other products because other products skip the details.

PEP accounts for undersized sheets sizes and the random extra ¼ in the width with SMART skeleton technology. It doesn’t end there, PEP Band technology eliminates 30% of the skeleton cuts while stress is relieved, heat is controlled, sheet remove is simple, and scrap buyers pay more for the scrap.

Profits from every job come from doing every programming task 100% of the time without exception. Every detail must be considered even when a hot job needs to be done at the last minute. PEP is the SMARTEST because PEP is automatic and does the job in seconds.

The PEP Technology software is more that just the fastest software, one user can do the same amount of work that 5 to 10 skilled programmers would do and do it better.

More than a dozen critical CAM processes must be done 100 percent of the time. If you are not doing all of them, then a laser runs 20 to 40 percent slower.

Slow cutting, head crashes and poor cut quality are eliminated when all the critical programming tasks are completed 100 percent of the time. Therefore, when beam on-time goes up and the laser is cutting faster, 20 to 30 percent increases in laser throughput can be realized.

Material yield is a function of a programmer’s time in regard to his chosen CAM software. PEP creates great nests in one minute that seldom require editing of any kind. The PEP Automatic Nesting software AUTOMATICALLY creates perfect nests on the first try. There is no editing and or re-nesting required, as such, sales, engineering and programming all get the same results.

Integrating your ERP system with PEP Technology offers unparalleled value, revolutionizing your manufacturing process. This seamless integration ensures that data flows effortlessly between design and production, enhancing accuracy and reducing errors. By synchronizing inventory, order management, and production scheduling, you achieve real-time visibility and control over your operations. This not only accelerates project timelines but also optimizes resource allocation, cuts down on material waste, and boosts overall efficiency. In essence, the synergy between ERP and PEP Technology elevates your production capabilities, drives cost savings, and enhances your competitive edge in the market.

Our History

Rooted in Innovation & Efficiencies

Robert-Jencks-Picture-new
Robert Jencks

Founded in 1974 by Robert Jencks, a visionary Nuclear Engineer from the Navy, our company has been driven by a passion for efficiency and innovation. In the late 1970s, he began exploring the world of manufacturing, developing router programs, CNC controls, and punch machines. Recognizing the need for software to generate machine code, he paved the way for a transformative journey in manufacturing technology.

As laser technology emerged, it became the cornerstone of our operations. Our focus shifted from merely driving code to optimizing material usage. We asked ourselves, “How can we simply press a button and achieve the best layout for our materials?” This question has guided our innovations ever since and we remain on the cutting edge of this journey.
