Description

Benderlink is designed to make a connection between CNC Bender and measuring centers to allow measuring centers to steer the bender to the correct part shape quickly.

Combine the ProControl Benderlink with our world-class VTube-LASER software on a FARO arm to make measuring tubes easier than ever.

Features

POWERFUL COMPARE and APPROVE

Benderlink for CNC Bender ProControl v14 is one of the most powerful versions of Benderlink available in any CNC bender software package with the new COMPARE feature.

BUILT-IN INDUSTRY STANDARD PROTOCOLS

Protocols supported directly are: Our VTube-LASER (FARO), Supravision Network Protocol (ROMER) and Eaton Leonard Vector Tube Data Center

Faroedge scanarm hdscanner.pngRomer infinite.jpgVector tube data center.jpg

SMART BEND COMBINATION

Benderlink automatically combines bends for the bender that should be combined.

Cncv12 autocombinefeature.jpg

SMART SPLIT BEND

Benderlink automatically splits bends for the measuring center that should be split.

SMART NEW PART DETECTION

Benderlink automatically detects when the part data is new versus when the part data is an existing setup that should be corrected.

CLEAR ACTIVITY FEEDBACK

With our Benderlink you can know for sure that data was transferred. You can even see when it was transferred - in either direction.

Benderlink helps you know that communications are active by display LED counters with the exact byte count sent or received.

The "Last Trans" labels let you see when the last transfer occurred.
