Easy to Use
BendPro G2 was designed with ease of use in mind and is based on the Windows operating system. The first and main screen displayed is the Master Menu. From the Master Menu the operator can operate the bender and quickly access all other control screens including the Parts Editor. A graphical representation of the bender and its functions are displayed on a rugged, high-resolution touchscreen. Finally, the Master Menu is designed to effectively communicate production status and machine status including any warning messages or alarms that might require attention.
CAD Interface
BendPro G2 can automatically import tube geometries from virtually any CAD program including SolidWorks, Solid Edge, AutoCAD, Inventor, CATIA, Creo Elements (formerly known as Pro/E), etc. This popular option speeds up programming while reducing data entry mistakes.
3D Simulation
The 3D Simulation Option is primarily used to detect potential collisions between the tube and the machine or tooling. This useful feature can quickly optimize the bending sequence so that cycle times may be reduced. In addition, it can estimate cycle times which allows for accurate bidding.
BendPro G2 uses the same software to control the 3D machine simulations as it does the actual bending machine. This allows for very accurate simulations and estimated cycle times. The 3D Simulation Option is easily enabled on the BendPro G2 PC or on office PCs with the BendPro G2 software.
