Tube Bending Automation Optimization Specialization Software

TubeWorks can import files in step or igs formats. (TubeWorks will process many additional file formats).

A convenient feature to enable viewing of dwg or dxf files and export as pdf.

With a simple click, determine key metrics like bend radii, wall thickness, and total lengths. Click on an individual tube face and the corresponding vital information is displayed.

Export bend data in a professional .pdf report to share part numbers, tube profiles, tube OD, units of measure, CLR, solid model image, and other essential information with your team.

Two curves of different radii with no straight separation are well tolerated inside the software. TubeWorks is capable handling bends where compound tooling would be used.

Produce an easy to read report containing stop positions, rotations, angles, direction of rotation. This makes bending on a manual machine as easy as following step by step instructions. Apply stretch compensation and display the corrected data.

Automatic extraction of all bend data including tube specs like CLR, bend radii plus full LRA and XYZ data. Lite edition pulls data with just one click, while the full edition can automatically pull data upon import.

The new TubeWorks tooling calibration feature applies corrected data in the design phase – when optimization matters most. Bend the tube according to instructions, record the result, and TubeWorks will automatically calculate spring-back and stretch. All the data is stored within the tooling log alongside the associated tools.

Selecting the material specification will automatically apply stretch compensation to the bend regions, calculate corrective bend data and developed tube length.

Record your Machines, Bend tooling, Material specifications and Test data into a centralized location. Allowing fast feedback of available tooling, corrective bend data and developed tube length.

Selecting the material specification will automatically apply over-bend compensation to the bend regions and calculate corrective bend data.

Compare your imported model with what you’ve stored in your tooling log to assess if your bend is feasible with the tools you have on hand—an easy way to save time and money on tool resources.

Design a new tube from scratch with no CAD experience necessary. Simply point and click to get precision lengths, angles, and rotations.

Extend the endpoints of your centreline for tubes with end manipulation.

The highly versatile design exporter at the core of TubeWorks can send your creation directly to the bender as a .$$$, .SV or .S2B file. Alternatively a pdf report including LRA and XYZ can be created and values entered into the machine manually.

Embrace complete design customization by changing any of your bend radii to match the dies you have in stock. Bend data adjustments are automatically recalculated.

TubeWorks intelligently unbends tubes for laser cutting and automatically applies stretch compensation to the bend regions so the flattened tube is ready to cut. TubeWorks Add-In also unbends single bends and marks bend locations for alignment in post bending operations.

With a single click, TubeWorks normalizes your cuts, notches, and holes for laser cutting applications without a 6th axis (head tilt). TubeWorks can also regenerate the centerline to the new, corrected placement.

TubeWorks Add-In creates flat patterns for a 3-axis laser which can be exported as a dwg or dxf file.

Create tube geometry by entering LRA or XYZ into an input table. Or import a $$$ file and TubeWorks does the rest!
