Cutting - Pegasus cad-cam

Module dedicated to the management of bridge saws, equipped with a full set of functions for slab cutting and sectioning. Designed to be installed both on the machine and in the office, it allows users to draw and design shapes, qualify the slab, perform nesting, and manage cutting operations in a single intuitive and integrated solution.

Slab image acquisition

Thanks to photographic acquisition with automatic distortion correction, a rectified and accurate image of the slab is obtained.

This enables intuitive positioning of the shapes, helping to identify imperfections, enhance vein patterns, and accurately qualify edges for optimal machining.

Design

Shapes to be processed can be defined using integrated 2D CAD tools, by importing DXF or DWG files, or by entering part lists in proprietary formats such as Excel or CSV. Predefined geometric macros can also be added, and physical templates acquired via the Photo-Digitizer module.

Shape arrangement

Preview of possible collisions between parts is available, along with free positioning of pieces.
Thanks to the “magnet” function, components can be easily aligned, reducing the number of cuts required.

Vein Matching

Software option for vein alignment.

The Vein Matching function allows dynamic management and positioning of individual components on real slabs, ensuring perfect visual continuity and a highly impactful aesthetic result.
For advanced design and vein alignment features, the full Kitchen Designer & Vein Matching module is available.

Cutting with blade, mill, core drill, and waterjet

The system enables automatic insertion of shapes on the slab and optimization of the entire cutting sequence, eliminating overlaps, reducing collision cuts, and completing unfinished cuts.
It also generates an optimized machining sequence in terms of ordering, head rotation, and minimization of rapid movements.

Simulation

The integrated graphical simulation environment allows real-time verification of operations, with solid simulation featuring material removal and automatic collision control.

For more comprehensive checks, an optional module simulates the entire machine tool virtually.

Reports and printouts

Detailed reports and consumption statistics provide complete control over the cutting project, optimizing resources and materials.
The printouts effectively guide machine setup, making each phase more precise and immediate.
