Alpine 80ED CNC Tube Controller Bender with BendPro

Alpine 80ED CNC Tube Bender with BendPro Controller

In stock and ready to ship immediately, this Alpine AB80ED Series hybrid electric CNC tube bender has a maximum O.D. capacity of 3 inches, a double stack tooling design with 4 axes (Y- Feeding, B-Rotation, C-Bending and X- Horizontal tooling changing) and is driven by an A/C servo motor featuring Alpine’s patented planetary gear-driven bending head.. Its unique compact design provides a highly accurate bending result with minimized machine interference, enhancing rigidity, speed reduction and high torque transmission. Paired with the versatile BendPro G2 V3 touchscreen controller for easy operation and programming, this CNC tube bender is perfectly suited for application in the furniture, automotive, motorcycle, fitness equipment and aerospace industries, just to name a few.

Easy to Use

BendPro G2 V3 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 V3 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 V3 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 V3 PC or on office PCs with the BendPro G2 V3 software.
