Benderlink for Solid Works software is designed to convert from Solid Works to bender data then to connect Solid Works workstations to SVNET-based benders.

If a measuring center arm is setup to sketch a 3D centerline of a measured tube shape, then Benderlink will help you reverse-engineer tube shapes, and assist in correcting the bender's data.


Features

The main features of this software:

  1. - Read tube data from Solid Works
  2. - Convert the tube data to bender data
  3. - Save / Recall the bender data
  4. - Send new nominal data to benders that support SVNET protocol.
  5. - With a measureing center: Make and send correction data to benders that support the SVNET protocol.
  6. - With a measuring center: Reverse-engineer tube shapes

The reverse-engineering feature is performed by using 3D sketch with a measuring center - like a FARO arm. The tube centerline is sketched in 3D, then transferred to Benderlink for Solid Works.

The correction feature is performed by measuring a tube with FARO arm, using this data to create a tube centerline in Solid Works, then allow Benderlink to compare this inspected data with the MASTER data.
