About BendPro Measuring Center Communications

BendPro uses Supravision Network communications as a standard for communications. Communications are straight-forward, efficient, and very fast.

The BendPro can be setup to communicate with:

• FARO ScanArms running our VTube-LASER software
• FARO arms using FARO CAM2 software using our Benderlink for FARO software

How to Check if Communications is Possible

G2 Version

The Supravision link is sold by Current Tech as an option. It's important to verify that this option is switched on when discovering if a BendPro G2 is ready for communication. Click on the Utilities pulldown menu, then click on the Measuring Machine Interface option. If you see the Measuring Machine Settings menu will allow you to enable the Supravision Client Interface, then your bender has communication capability.

G1 Version

Verify that this option is switched on when discovering if a BendPro G1 is ready for communication. Click on Edit Menu button, then click on the button with the measuring center on it. If you see the BendPro to Supravision Link window then your software has communication capability.

What Pines Technology will Need to Activate the Communications Feature

Pines Technology will need to send you a setup program to enable communications. They will ask for this information:

1. Machine Serial Number
2. Software Version Number

You can find both of these values in the caption of the TS-2000 software. The software version will be a four digit number like 2.8.6.7 or 3.1.0.2.
