P.E.P. TECHNOLOGY^©

P.E.P. Cuts  38.5% FASTER  than Optimation

The fully automatic CUTTING TIMES and PART QUALITY outlined in this benchmark were done by Milacron Plastics.    The benchmark compares the fully automate laser machine code of both software products, the machine cutting time and the part quality as cut on their Cincinnati CL-7 laser.  

AUTOMATION OF THE SOFTWARE

Both P.E.P. and Optimation were able to perform all facets of the test automatically without the programmer having to perform any of the programming steps required to cut the parts.

CL-7 MACHINE CUTTING TIME

P.E.P. slashed Optimation’s machine run time by 38.5%

PART QUALITY

Even though it took the Optimation’s code 1/3 longer to cut the same part on the same machine, the part was not satisfactory and was considered a reject.
