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.

Benderlink for BLM Software Updates

Note: As of version 3.0 and higher, Benderlink for BLM supports the modification of the VGP format directly. VGP is software that allows operators to program and setup the BLM benders controls. A copy of VGP is installed on each BLM operator station.
