User Interface Software: different processes, same philosophy
Discover the Crippa software that makes your work easier and more intuitive

Designed for fast and intuitive programming of tube bending and forming machines, UII is a three-dimensional graphical application that allows you to program production, simulate and optimise bending and forming programmes.
Guided programming allows workflow changes without the need for programming language knowledge.

Innovation that simplifies your production process

The UII is designed to ensure maximum symmetry between the bending and forming processes, making operations intuitive and straightforward for operators.

A user-friendly and intuitive experience

UII follows the natural flow of production, replicating the familiar operating sequence for both machine operators and production managers. This approach ensures highly intuitive navigation and immediate usability, minimising training time.

UII modules: Integrated power and flexibility

File management


Access files quickly and easily with an interface similar to Office tools. An advanced search system and instant preview make database management effortless.

Machine parameter management


This module allows you to easily configure the machine, set specific limits and activate installed options, ensuring complete control over operations.

Tube cutting


Enter the tube coordinates manually or import them from standard formats, whether Cartesian or polar. Compatibility with the 3DtoUII application further simplifies the process. Quickly associate tools and use advanced utilities to optimise production.

Tooling module


Create custom tooling from scratch or import existing 3D CAD files. An interactive 3D interface allows you to visualise machine positioning and verify geometric and functional compatibility. This module also manages production phases such as loading and unloading, with the option to add notes and images for comprehensive documentation.

Programming section


Set machining parameters and activate advanced devices such as the CUT application for in-line cutting. A preview function allows you to monitor the entire process prior to actual production.

Process Simulation


Analyse the part and the entire production cycle with dynamic and interactive simulation. Identify cycle times, detect and resolve potential collisions with detailed feedback. Advanced optimisation simplifies axis programming and even allows video simulations to be exported in MP4 format for complete documentation.

Comprehensive support for maximum performance

Each phase is accompanied by dynamic 3D graphics that make the user experience highly
realistic and intuitive. Additionally, the dynamic online help guides the operator step by step,
providing clear explanations and tips to make the most of every command.
