Blm e-bend76.jpg

This software is designed to enable communication with BLM VGP-based benders.

Benderlinkblm v5.3 screen.png


MAIN FEATURES

1 - Allows for bi-directional communications with measuring centers for bender correction

2 - Communicates with the VGP software by reading and writing the VGP native data files

3 - Import data from Solid Modeling software like SolidWorks using Benderlink for SolidWorks.
