i2 Software Innovates
SOCO i2 is the control software that runs SOCO CNC tube benders. It handles programming, 3D part display, springback compensation and collision simulation on the machine, and it connects to CMMs and remote monitoring so your team and SOCO support can see what the bender sees.

SOCO’s i2 CNC Controls: Tube Benders
SOCO i2 CNC Controls bring part programming, production tracking, maintenance scheduling and diagnostics into one Windows-based interface. Programs can be built from XYZ or YBC data or imported from CAD, then simulated before the first tube is loaded.
(*) On select machine models
