Gauge function
The function key Gauge Func opens the gauge functions window. In this window several
backgauge related parameters can be programmed. These parameters serve to program the
desired finger positions for a certain bend. The necessary axis positions that are necessary for
this bend are calculated from the programmed finger positions.
X
The value in X-direction of the finger position for the sheet. This value can manually be
adjusted in this window, if required.
R
The value in R-direction of the finger position of the sheet. This value can manually be
adjusted in this window, if required.
Lay-on
With this parameter you can program another finger position for this specific bend. The
finger position you can program depends on the back gauge possibilities. Back gauge
dimensions are programmed in the Machine mode.
• Lay-on = 0: no lay on (default)
Other possibilities are:
• Lay-on = 1: lay on first level
• Lay-on = 2: lay on second level
• Lay-on = 3: lay on third level
When you program another Lay-on the axis positions change, but the gauge position for the
sheet does not change. This means that the previous two parameters R and X remain the
same. See also example below.
