Features and benefits
Automated drill hole measurement
BendingStudio XT accurately detects and measures drill holes automatically, eliminating manual effort and ensuring consistent, reliable results. This feature streamlines your workflows by reducing errors and enhancing precision during production.
Seamless ERP integration
Seamlessly connect your production data with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems using BendingStudio XT. This ensures smooth data transfer, keeps workflows connected, and eliminates manual input errors for a more efficient operation.
Real-time feedback & guidance
BendingStudio XT provides live feedback and guided part positioning, helping you reduce errors and simplify operations. Its intuitive tools empower operators to achieve precision quickly, even in demanding environments.
End-to-end management
BendingStudio XT provides seamless communication and data handling across production, quality control, and design. It connects every stage of the bending production process, ensuring smooth and efficient operations.
Cross compatibility
BendingStudio XT integrates inputs from TubeInspect and Absolute Arm systems, enabling you to use both seamlessly within the same workflow. This allows input from either device type across your production structure.
Simple handling
BendingStudio XT’s intuitive interface simplifies data management. One-click functionality for measurement results, imports, and exports makes handling production data quick, easy, and efficient.
Comprehensive interfaces
With plug-and-play compatibility, BendingStudio XT works effortlessly with third-party tools essential for bending production. It includes an open tube bender interface and supports statistical process control software like qs-STAT.
Measurement functionalities
BendingStudio XT handles bending points, bend data, sheath deviation, deflection compensation, and diameter changes. It also supports the measurement of complex structures like branched tubes, bevel-cut ends, and rectangular-section tubes.
Measurement jobs
Streamline series inspections and improve process reliability with measurement jobs in BendingStudio XT. This feature optimises production and ensures consistent quality control.
Inspection flexibility
Assign multiple inspection plans to a single part with BendingStudio XT. This allows you to manage drawing requirements and mounting conditions simultaneously, giving you greater flexibility and precision.
CAD Adaptor functionality
BendingStudio XT supports CAD ADAPTER functionality with systems like TubeInspect 37 M | 37 XL and Absolute Arm. This lets you measure the position and orientation of end holders, fittings, and fixtures without the need for mechanical adaptors.
Smart bender correction
BendingStudio XT calculates corrections for complex bent parts like brake lines and clamped tubes. Its customisable overlength compensation ensures precise results and reduces material waste.
BendXtract technology: Free scanning
BendXtract technology means easy data acquisition – collect complete tube geometries with just the click of a button, a few scan passes or a handful of probe points.
BendXtract technology: Automatic extraction
BendXtract takes collected measurement data and immediately calculates full tube geometries and centrelines with minimised user interaction.
BendXtract technology: Smart results
BendXtract powers the transformation of data into useable results, directly applied for bender correction.
