Description

Extremely Compact
The BendPro G2 CNC Control is housed in a compact aluminum enclosure. The control is networked (Ethernet) to a compact I/O system, which consumes very little space in the CNC tube benders electrical cabinet.

Highest Functionality of any Control
The BendPro G2 CNC Control is currently being used by end users, OEM machine builders, and rebuilders on a wide variety of machines worldwide. The list of supported functions continuously grows.

Avoidance Moves
The BendPro G2 CNC Control has the most advanced and useful options for programming avoidance moves of any control on the market. The Teach Mode is the most commonly used option because it is extremely intuitive and versatile. With Teach Mode, the operator uses the joystick to jog each axis to the target position. Each move or combination of moves is recorded, which allows the control to play the moves back in exactly the desired sequence. Teach Mode is used for programming Avoidance Moves and for optimizing bending sequences to increase production. Teach Mode works in CNC mode (Live on the bender) or in SIM mode (3D simulation mode).

3D Simulation
Simulation allows for fast and easy development of the bending sequence to avoid tube-to-machine collisions. With this powerful feature, the most efficient (Fastest) bend cycles can be created.

Easy to Operate
Based on the Windows 10 operating system, the BendPro G2 CNC Control software was written with ease of use in mind. A graphical representation of the Bender and its functions is displayed on a high-resolution, bright LCD. The first screen displayed is called the Master Menu. From the Master Menu, the operator can operate the bender and access all other control screens.

Diagnostics
The BendPro G2 CNC Control has extensive diagnostics tools that can be used for real-time troubleshooting of all machine devices, including I/O Racks, operator switches, and servo devices.

Powerful Parts Manager
The BendPro G2 CNC Control can automatically backup all part files and machine parameters to a local or network drive. Part files can be imported from other controls, office PCs, and measuring machines.
