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

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.
