1.5. Getting started
1.5.1. Introduction
In order to obtain a bend program for a product, the control offers the possibility to create a
program bend by bend and adjust specific parameters for each bend independently.
This is done with the following steps:
1 Go to the Products mode in the navigation panel and start a new program by tap-
ping New Program.
2 Enter the program’s basic properties and continue by pressing Accept.
3 Automatically the next menu is switched to, Tool-setup, to select the desired tool-
ing. Check the tooling, modify upon desire and one can continue to the Program
menu.
4 In the Program menu one can start programming the bend specific parameters for
the first bend. To add the next bendstep to the program the function Add bend can
be used. This cycle can be repeated upon choice.
5 Tap Auto and press the Start button in order to produce the programmed product.
1.5.2. Preparations
Before product programming can be started, the following preparations must be made.
• The correct material properties must have been programmed in the Materials library.
You can find this on the Materials page in the Settings mode.
• The correct tools must be programmed in the Tool Library. Tools are necessary to
create a CNC program. You can find the libraries for the different types of tools in the
Machine mode.
1.5.3. Modifying a program
The Program menu gives access to the numerical program and values of the active product.
Existing programs can be modified via this menu. The independent bendsteps can be
selected and the programmed values can be monitored and modified if required.
Axes positions, if applicable, are calculated according to the machine configuration.
1.5.4. The Auto menu and Manual menu, production modes
A product program can be executed via the Auto mode. In Automatic mode, a complete
program can be executed bend after bend. In the Auto mode the Step mode can be selected
to have each bend started separately.
The Manual mode of the control is an independent production mode. In this mode, one bend
can be programmed and executed. It is typically used to test the behaviour of the bend
system.
More information about this can be found in chapters 5 and 6.
