BendingStudio XT links all data and processes involved in the manufacture of bended parts, from production and process planning to manufacturing and quality control.
It is the only tool to meet and combine these requirements with an emphasis on metrological processes. In combination with TubeInspect or Absolute Arm systems, BendingStudio XT offers efficient and customer-oriented solutions with a unique combination of speed, accuracy and flexibility.
For any part, different data is often required for the different stages on the way from the drawing to the tested product. This includes CAD data from design and bend programs and corrections for manufacturing, as well as test and inspection plans or measurement reports and analysis for quality control. But these records are not always 100 percent compatible.
BendingStudio XT is focused on bringing together all parallel data sets belonging to any particular part, allowing manufacturers to monitor, quantify, visualise and document all changes throughout the different process steps.
The platform is based on a simple and clearly structured handling concept featuring a variety of small tools to ease daily work in all areas of bended part manufacturing.
BendingStudio XT is compatible with both manual and automated inspection processes through the turnkey TubeInspect measurement cell hardware, as well as 3D laser scanner, tube probe and touch probe measurement using an Absolute Arm portable measuring arm system.
BendXtract technology
At the centre of the high-performance inspection capability of BendingStudio XT is BendXtract technology – the set of algorithms that allow the platform to automatically calculate accurate bend geometries without the need for time-consuming precision scanning techniques and turn that data into easily understood reporting.
The algorithms behind BendXtract are based on three powerful ideas: Free Scanning; Automatic Extraction; and Smart Results.
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.
Automatic extraction
BendXtract takes collected measurement data and immediately calculates full tube geometries and centerlines with minimized user interaction.
Smart results
BendXtract powers the transformation of data into useable results, automatically compiled into a detailed measurement report as required.
