Innovative software platform PREMIERED at the Tube show in Düsseldorf, Germany in March 2012, AICON’s newly developed software platform BendingStudio is now ready for use. the daily work in all areas of bent part manufacturing. For example, it is possible to construct bend data from centre line data. Or, before applying corrections, the effects of a modified bending program can be simulated.

of new manufacturing technologies or the addition of new applications around bending like end forming or assembly management – the AICON BendingStudio offers a platform for the optimised integration of all data and processes for bent parts.

BendingStudio connects all data and processes around production of bent parts: from production process planning to manufacturing to quality control. It is the only tool to meet and combine these requirements with emphasis on metrological processes. Especially in combination with AICON’s TubeInspect and MoveInspect Technology systems, BendingStudio offers efficient and customer-orientated solutions for all applications around production of bent parts. The software platform combines all data belonging to a certain part and allows manufacturers to monitor, quantify, visualise and document all changes in the different process steps. BendingStudio optimises the data handling for every production step and offers the right solution for every user. At the same time BendingStudio has a simple and clearly structured handling concept. Many small tools ease Recycling composite materials COMPOSITE materials such as metal and plastics or plastics and glass fibre composite materials are very popular: it is easy to produce lighter material- saving parts with these compound materials. The recycling of the emerging production waste has also to be taken into consideration – as well as the recycling of post-consumer parts. With the latest state-of-the-art technology from Herbold Meckesheim GmbH these materials can be sorted in a cost- effective way and recycled for reuse into homogeneous material categories with a high degree of purity. The main focus is on the purity of all resulting fractions.

The data concept of BendingStudio is already prepared for future applications. Be it if the connection to different measurement systems, the integration
