SPI TruTops Interface Technical

The new SPI TruTops Bend Interface allows you to use the material and bending process information from TruTops Bend. You can read it directly into the material management database of the SPI SheetMetal solution, and use this data during the design with AutoCAD, Mechanical Desktop and Autodesk Inventor. The flat pattern development is calculated according to the algorhythms of the NC program TruTops Bend. That means: It can directly be exported to TruTops Bend.
  

No more rework

With SPI it is possible to use the same tools that have been defined in TruTops Bend during the initial design phase. Using this process the exact bending radii are guaranteed. The gene­rated unfolding is fully compatible with the calculation me­thods of the NC program, TruTops Bend, and delivers all necessary production data.
 

Using the right radii...

Transfer of material and bending process information including tool specific compensation factors and radii from TruTops Bend (ToPs 600)
 
   

...and the right tools

Using of the same tools that have been defined in TruTops Bend (ToPs 600) during the initial design phase with access to production radii.
 
   

...produces no failure

The software eliminates faulty and redundant input of technology data..
 
   

...and is fully compatible

The unfolding is fully compatible with the calculation methods of TruTops Bend. It  uses bending information (bend angle, radius, tool combination, bending technology) available in TruTops Bend (enhanced DXF-format).The unfolding can be used directly for process simulation and NC-code programming.
