L-alpha Page: Field Overview
Each line (except the last) of the table on the L-ALPHA PRODUCT page
represents data related to one bend.

-N-
Automatic numbering of the faces.
A "face" is defined as being that part of the
sheet metal situated between two bends or
between the edge of the sheet and a bend.
The maximum number of faces which can be
programmed for a product is 14. If more
sequences are needed, use the chaining of
product function (see previous page, field P+).
-L-
Face length. Designates the distance between
two bends or the distance between the edge of
the sheet and the first bend.

Bending angle.
p/d
Allows, for a given bend, to define a special
tooling pair different from the one specified for
the product.
-ri-
If the adjacent field CR (step bending) is
empty, when the
key is pressed, the ri
field indicates the internal bending radius
calculated taking into account the angle, the
material and the tools.
The operator can enter the value of the internal
radius which he considers to be correct, then
introduce the value 1 in the CR field.
During the calculation, the TOL (tolerance)
