1.5. Graphical programming
From the main menu you can select one of the programming possibilities.
In order to design or edit a new product, the graphical programming facility is present.
This facility is a complete product design tool that allows you to draw the profile of your prod-
uct. It consists of a machine-and tool-library which allows you fast automatic, interactive or
manual bending sequence computations with display of possible product/tool/machine colli-
sions and developed length.
The graphic design tool provides a way of selecting the most optimal bend sequence for a
product, keeping in mind the minimum production time and manipulation possibilities of the
product.
Features of the design tool
- Graphical design of product shapes in 2D
- Auto scaling
- Horizontal and vertical projected dimensions can be entered
- Blank length computation
- Real scale tool design
- 10 different upper side shapes and 10 different under side shapes (tables)
- Changing of lengths and angles
- Bumping (big radius)
- Adding or deleting of bends
- Existing products can be copied, changed and stored as a new product
- Production time indication
- Closing dimension or highest precision tolerance selection
- Connecting 2D programs for 3D-production
Axes according to the machine configuration
The 2D-programming will be explained in chapter 2.
1.5.1. Control keys
The drawing software uses several function keys on the front panel.
- S1 thru 8
