4. Programming products and tools
4.1 Introduction
Programming of products and tools can be done very straightfor-
ward.
Normally, bend programs can only be programmed when tools
and materials are available, so they must be programmed first.
In order to execute the programmed product successfully the
calibration point should be set correctly. All these aspects are
described in detail in next paragraphs.
4.2 Setting the calibration point
To calibrate the bending depth calculation the calibration point
must be programmed. This parameter defines the Y-axis posi-
tion when the tools are closed. In other words, the Y-axis posi-
tion that corresponds with the situation where the lowest point of
the punch is at the same level as the upper side of the V-die
(pinching point with sheet thickness = 0).
This calibration point parameter is available in the program con-
stants menu. This procedure has to be repeated each time the
height of the tools that are mounted in the machine are changed.
To set the calibration point, select the service parameter in the
program constants menu. Enter code 456 and press enter.
