The
<retraction>
key
When
some
part
of
the
work-piece
is
going
under
the
back-gauge
(e.g.
Z-bend),
a
collision
between
the
plate
and
the
back-gauge
could happen
while
bending.
To
avoid
this,
we
retract
the
back-gauge.
The
retraction
starts
when
the
plate
is
clamped,
this
is
when
the
beam
reaches
the
plate
(point
zero).
This
way
the
plate
can’t
shift.
