4.3.5. Bumping
From pure numerical programs a single bend step can be changed into a bumping bend.
When Bumping has been selected in the Main view, a pop-up window is shown on which the
following parameters can be programmed:
Bumping
disabled => Air bend as normal bend with a defined angle and preferred radius.
enabled => Large radius in different steps of airbending.
Angle
The angle value to bend.
Radius
The intended radius which is programmed.
Number of segments
The number of segments in which the radius will be divided. The number of bends in this
radius is the number of segments plus 1.
The more segments you select, the more bends will be used to create the programmed
radius within a smaller tolerance. With a high number of segments you will need a
smaller V-die opening to be able to bend in a proper way.
Equal bumping-segments
When a product has a radius bend, the segment size is computed from the number of
segments, which has been defined by the user. Standard the first and last segment are
calculated half the size of the mid segments to obtain a better result. However, it can be
a problem selecting a die suitable to bend these small segments. Therefore the control
can calculate an equal size for all segments. This can be defined with this parameter.
• Disabled (no equal sizes)
