Intelligent software and control systems for CNC tube bending machines
Control systems for tube bending machines are a core component of modern bending technology. They ensure precise motion sequences, reproducible results, and efficient control of complex bending processes.
The NxG control system is the heart of our CNC tube bending machines and is specifically designed to make complex tube bending processes faster, more efficient, and safer. Simple and intuitive operation.
It offers simple and intuitive operation and creates optimal conditions for single-part production, series manufacturing, and fully automated production cells – always precise, transparent, and digitally networked.

Expandable to cell control
The NxG control system can be used not only as a control system for tube bending machines, but also as the central control unit of an entire production cell. This allows the bending machine, magazine, robot, endforming or cutting units to be integrated without any additional external control system.
Beyond this, Schwarze‑Robitec offers far more than pure control software: we provide the appropriate hardware, deliver turnkey solutions, and take care of the complete networking of all components. We also implement customer-specific requirements in the form of tailored solutions – from planning and integration through to commissioning of the entire system.
Advanced functions of control systems for tube bending machines
Additional functions of the NxG control system for greater transparency, process reliability, and efficiency throughout the entire production process.
Visualization &
bending simulation
Direct visualization of motion sequences and collision-relevant areas.
