The CRIPPA Windows software allows for complete programming of bender setup.

VTube-LASER communicates with the Crippa UII software using the Supravision Network protocol. Communications are fully bidirectional - you can send and recall data.

It is possible to send new part data to the Crippa, and to correct existing parts easily with the Crippa communications.

As of version 1.77.4, VTube-STEP can export Crippa export capability allows for easy export to Crippa UII software. The format is a text file that is compatible with most Crippa benders that were released in early 2012 and on.


The bender data format is similar to the standard format, except that, for most Crippa benders, the rotations move in the opposite direction than most other benders. (Crippa standard: Clockwise is positive). VTube automatically builds the data, including reversed rotations into the SPF file.

The format includes the bender data and the cut length. Here is an example:
