The operator used VTube-LASER on a FARO arm to measure and prove that the part had a maximum deviation of 0.060" of deviation along the centerline profile.  The centerline profile tolerance, per the print, was from 0.030 inches up to 0.050 inches for this aerospace part - so it was necessary to send a correction to the bender.<br><br>

The first correction reduced the profile deviations so that only one deviation peaked at 0.012 inches.  All the other deviations where half that value or better.  The End-A length deviation was 0.000 inches, and the bending technician trimmed the other end using the "End-B Trim" value in the VTube-LASER inspection page.  He remeasured the final part which was confirmed to be completely inside tolerance.<br><br>

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 Version 3

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

This is an older version 3.2 of the CRIPPA UII.

Crippa uii screen.jpg

CRIPPA UII Control software version EVO II

This is the screen from the Evo II generation of Crippa UII software (circa 2017). Changes made by VTube-LASER can be viewed in the YBC grid on this page.

VTube-LASER Support for Crippa Bender Setup and Corrections

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.) See VTube Communication for CRIPPA Supravision for details.

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 Newer CRIPPA Bender SPF Files

For newer benders, 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.

VTube-STEP Support for Legacy CRIPPA Bender MPF Files

For older CRIPPA SIEMENS SINUMERIK benders, VTube-STEP can build MPF files. (As of VTube version 2.7, December of 2016)

See VTube Communication for CRIPPA MPF for details.
