CRIPPA

CRIPPA benders are built in Italy and marketed worldwide. Customers report that they like these benders very much. They are often all electric with all actuators servo-controlled.

CRIPPA UII Control software

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

VTube-LASER Support for Crippa Bender Setup and Corrections

VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER communicates with the newer 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. (Crippa added this capability in late 2014.) VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER can also communicate with older CRIPPA SIEMENS SINUMERIK controls by building the CRIPPA MPF data files. See VTube Communication for CRIPPA MPF for details.

VTube-STEP Support for Legacy CRIPPA Bender MPF Files

For older CRIPPA SIEMENS SINUMERIK benders, VTube-STEP can build MPF files. See VTube Communication for CRIPPA MPF for details.

VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER Support for older CRIPPA MPF File Format (For CRIPPAs without Supravision Network Support)

For CRIPPA benders that do not allow for Supravision Network protocol connections, VTube can also load and modify CRIPPA MPF file format. (VTube version v2.7)
