Pegasus CAD-CAM Rotary Stone

Module dedicated to turning machining centers up to 6 continuous axes.

DESIGN

PEGASUS CAD-CAM includes 2D and 3D CAD modules for the drawing, editing and transformation of 2D and 3D geometric entities.

2D CAD

Drawing and editing of 2D geometries placed on work planes
Geometries construction mode
Text outline generation along lines and curves, using Windows TrueType font mapping
Dimensions
Printing functions supporting PDF, printer and plotters

3D CAD

Drawing and editing of 3D primitives, NURBS based solid models and surfaces, triangular meshes
Projection and wrapping of 2D geometries on surfaces
Specific CAD commands to edit and manipulate sculptured surfaces
3D geometric macros for the simplified drawing of columns and helicoidal sections

EXTERNAL CAD IMPORTS

It’s possible to import the following formats: DXF, DWG, IGES, 3DS, STEP, STL, OBJ, Rhino3D.

Tools tables

The software is provided with a specific environment to manage the tools’ archives. The user, depending on his equipment, can archive his tools in one or more tool tables that can be arranged and customized depending on his needs.

Supported tools:

mill cutters: cylindrical, spherical or toroidal cutters; tapers and engraving cutters; cut drills, slotters, shaped cutters, polishing tools, custom shaped tools
disks and horizontal disks

Additional accessories that can be combined with the tools:

tool-holders
carters

Both disk and mill tools can be mounted on a gearbox.

Lathe machinings

Module for the machining of parts mounted on an additional rotary axis.

Planar disk cut roughing

2.5D milling machinings with indexed lathe

Speed lathe machinings (mill and disk)

Disk roughing and finishing with interpolated lathe

3/4/5-axis 3D machinings with indexed lathe

Extended set of 4/5/6-axis 3D machinings with interpolated lathe

Shoulders rest machining

Vertical lathe machinings

Optional module that handles the vertical rotary axis (6th axis).

Simulation

PEGASUS CAD-CAM is bundled with an integrated graphic simulation environment for the immediate verification of the machining result on the material (material simulation), and a virtual simulation environment based on the real model of the machine (machine simulation).

Material simulation

Verification of all kind of machinings, from 2.5D up to 5 axes, both with conventional tools and disk tools, with collision checking on both the stock material and the finished model. Two possible simulation modes are available:

toolpath (showing only the tool trace)
material removal

Virtual machine simulation

This is an optional module that provides the virtual representation of the entire machine, showing the movement of all axes, both linear and rotary. This module is useful to avoid problems on the machine during the CNC program execution; it checks the limits of the axes and detects potential collisions with the moving parts or the fixtures.

Post processor

This is an integrated module to convert the applied toolpaths into the language of the specific CNC. Usually there are one or more custom post-processors available for the machines present in a workshop.
