A new software module from AIM, Inc. makes all its equipment compatible with leading tube and wire production control programme BendingStudio from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence.

This new release allows even more users in the field of tube and wire manufacturing to benefit from the unified production and quality control interface BendingStudio. Users of AIM machines can now enjoy the effective data handling and interconnectedness that is a hallmark of the BendingStudio package.

“BendingStudio with TubeInspect is the fastest available system on the market and one of the few systems that can measure both straight segments, bends, and radii,” explains AIM CEO Constantine Grapsas. “Our customers will be thrilled about the setup times this system offers. A perfect copy of a sample only needs two or three test runs. The machine set up as well as the speed of the measurement is amazing.”

“We’re very happy to welcome AIM into our community of trusted partners,” says Günter Suilmann, Director Global Sales TubeInspect at Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence. “More and more wire and bending machine suppliers trust BendingStudio, and we're happy to help them by offering a fully integrated system, directly linked to and interfacing with their machines during production.”

BendingStudio is a comprehensive solution for the tube and wire industry that connects process planning and quality control with manufacturing, part inspection with statistical process control. and prototyping with serial production.

The new software update is available immediately and allows users of both BendingStudio with TubeInspect and BendingStudio with Absolute Arm to interface with AIM hardware.
