CREATING A PRODUCT PAGE 11
PROGRAMMING ON THE SEQUENCE PAGE
In this guide, it is considered that the DNC is configured so as to be opera-
tional (i.e. machine and tool parameters programmed).
The operator has 2 methods available for programming.
The faster
Direct programming.
Direct programming is the faster method for an experienced operator, be-
cause all the programming of the product is done on the same page. This
makes it possible to programme the positions of the axes directly, and it cal-
culates the depth of bending according to the angle entered.
With calculation of the development
The L-Alpha method.
The L-alpha method makes it possible to enter a profile to bend with the ex-
ternal dimensions and angle of each face. The DNC will calculate the devel-
oped length:
After having programmed the sequence of bends, the DNC will calculate the
position of the gauges.
