Overview
IMS Intelligent Motion System by IBP PEDRAZZOLI is a flexible, intuitive process management software for tube bending and end-forming. It supports process management, cycle simulation, optimization, centralized program sharing and remote access.

Features

• Available for PC.
• Intuitive, easy-to-learn visual touch-screen programming.
• Direct import of 3D drawings for machine cycle creation (IGES file import supported).
• Multi-platform: Windows® and Linux® support.
• IMS OFFICE package: offline programming of the work cycle and program sharing with machines.
• Networking between multiple IBP PEDRAZZOLI machines: shared database and single central archive.

Advantages

• A single solution to manage bending and end-forming processes: one initial training enables an operator to run any IBP PEDRAZZOLI machine tool.
• Creation of detailed reports for product cost calculation, including energy consumption and instant energy expenditure.
• Immediate part feasibility analysis: machine cycle simulation highlights possible collisions and optimizes execution times.
• Teleservice via webcam and VoIP: full machine and NC access over the internet for effective remote interventions and faster updates.
• Handy Machine Operator Panel to manage machine axes inside the safety area for setup, tool testing and special sequence programming (available only on FANUC machines).

In collaboration with FANUC

• Maximum reliability of drives, motors and NC package.
• Worldwide service guaranteed within 24h.
• Complete system diagnostics.
• Overall reduction of connections and simplified electrical layout.
• Energy saving: regenerative braking system returning energy to the line, achieving over 50% reduction in power use in compatible configurations.

Technical specifications

• Software type: process management software for tube bending and deformation.
• Platform: PC; Windows® and Linux® supported.
• File import: 3D drawing import (IGES supported).
• Offline package: IMS OFFICE for offline programming and program sharing.
• Networking: supports networking between multiple IBP PEDRAZZOLI machines with shared database and central archive.
