The first element of the software release is a newly developed version of the company's 3D simulator, Opt2Sim, which is designed to accelerate the development of programs for the company’s all-electric tube benders. Previously a discrete add-on to Unison's Unibend machine control software, the simulator has been completely re-engineered.
A second element is an upgraded version of the machine programming and control package, Unibend V11.3, which features speed enhancements to both the bending and material handling elements of tubular part programs.
The third software feature to be added is a database and data collection package that can be used in conjunction with the control system's Ethernet compatibility to provide information on machine usage.
