ANNEX F: PROGRAMMING WITH L-ALPHA
In this manual, it is being assumed that the DNC is configured in such a way
as to be operational (i.e. the tools and machine parameters have already been
programmed).
2 programming methods are accessible by the operator.
The L-alpha method.
The L-alpha method allows to enter a profile to be bended with the external
dimensions and angles of each face. The DNC calculates the unfolded length.
After having programmed the bending order, the DNC will calculate the stop
positions.
Before starting to program a product, make sure that the tools necessary to
make the product exist in the DNC memory and write down the numbers of
the punches and dies to be used.
To do this proceed as described below:
If you are already familiar with the tools present in the DNC, you may pass
directly to chapter
Programming on the L-alpha page, page 38).
