Notice that you program the positions of the I-axis in such a way that the moving direction of the
I-axis is the same as the backgauge. This is to prevent collision between the die and the
backgauge finger. This means moving backward when moving to a higher position, moving
forward when moving to a lower position. So:
• the I-axis moves forward when the die has to go to a lower position (for example from
position 3 to position 2)
• the I-axis moves backward when the die has to go to a higher position (from position 1 to
position 2)
For each I-axis position you should program a separate die that corresponds with that situation in
the bending point.
