Powered by BendXtract Technology
BendingStudio XT is powered by BendXtract technology, designed to support your tube and wire production processes. Its advanced algorithms automatically calculate precise bend geometries without the need for time-consuming precision scans. With features like free scanning, automatic extraction and smart results, BendXtract transforms complex data into actionable reports instantly.

• Multi-part measurement: BendingStudio XT enables batch measurement in TubeInspect, allowing multiple identical parts to be inspected in a single image. This significantly increases inspection throughput for highvolume production.
• Correction report for hairpins: Available with 3D Hairpin Inspect, the new correction report provides customised inspection data to directly adjust hairpin production machines for faster setup, fewer correction loops and more reliable eMobility production.
• Automated drill hole measurement: BendingStudio XT accurately detects and measures drill holes automatically, eliminating manual effort and ensuring consistent, reliable results. This feature streamlines your workflows by reducing errors and enhancing precision during production.
• Seamless ERP integration: Seamlessly connect your production data with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems using the programming interface of BendingStudio XT. This ensures smooth data transfer, keeps workflows connected, and eliminates manual input errors for a more efficient operation.
• Real-time feedback and guidance: BendingStudio XT provides live feedback and guided part positioning, helping you reduce errors and simplify operations. Its intuitive tools empower operators to achieve precision quickly, even in demanding environments.
• End-to-end management: BendingStudio XT provides seamless communication and data handling across production, quality control, and design. It connects every stage of the bending production process, ensuring smooth and efficient operations.
• Cross compatibility: BendingStudio XT integrates inputs from TubeInspect and Absolute Arm systems, enabling you to use both seamlessly within the same workflow. This allows input from either device type across your production structure.
• Simple handling: BendingStudio XT’s intuitive interface simplifies data management. One-click functionality for measurement results, imports, and exports makes handling production data quick, easy, and efficient.
• Comprehensive interfaces: With plug-and-play compatibility, BendingStudio XT works effortlessly with third-party tools essential for bending production. It includes an open tube bender interface and supports statistical process control software like qs-STAT.
• Measurement functionalities: BendingStudio XT handles bending points, bend data, sheath deviation, deflection compensation, and diameter changes. It also supports the measurement of complex structures like branched tubes, bevel-cut ends, and rectangular-section tubes.
• CAD Adapter functionality: BendingStudio XT supports CAD ADAPTER functionality with systems like TubeInspect 37 M | 37 XL and the Absolute Arm with the Absolute Scanner AS1. This lets you measure the position and orientation of end holders, fittings, and fixtures without the need for mechanical adapters.
• Smart bender correction: BendingStudio XT calculates corrections for complex bent parts like brake lines and clamped tubes. Its customisable overlength compensation ensures precise results and reduces material waste.
