New simulation module facilitates the correction of bending machines
Braunschweig/Germany, 16 September 2011 – With the launch of the new software version 4.7, AICON’s optical tube measuring system TubeInspect will be extended by a practical function: Now the operator has the possibility to simulate the bending process considering individual correction values, and to verify their effect on accuracy to gauge by means of a virtual gauge check.
(firmenpresse) - With the help of high resolution digital cameras, TubeInspect determines the tube geometry within seconds, and thus proves accuracy to gauge. Beyond that, the system shows in detail which bending points deviate from the desired values, and suggests correction values. These correction values can be transmitted directly to the bending machine, whereby TubeInspect allows the connection to up to 100 benders.
However, sometimes, the correction values suggested by TubeInspect cannot be transferred one-to-one, for example if they led to collisions at the bending machine or if corrections are suggested at parts which cannot be affected because of solid bending tools. Now the new simulation module comes into play: When TubeInspect evaluates a measured tube as a bad part and suggests correction values, the operator can adapt them at his own discretion. After all only he knows the actual circumstances and characteristics of his bending machine. By doing so, the operator does not take any risk because from now on TubeInspect simulates the results of the changes and shows with a virtual gauge check if this bending process could actually produce a good part. Just when the right settings are found, another real bending test will take place. Therefore, in the future, less bending tests will be necessary, which makes the setup process even leaner.
The new simulation module is part of the software version 4.7, which will be presented in public at the fair EMO in Hanover. Visitors can inquire detailed information on AICON’s stand (hall 5, booth 65). The delivery of the software is scheduled for the mid of November.
