Feed-bend motion adjust multiple radii.jpg

This is a feature that allows for adjusting the Feed/Carriage motion during Feed-Bending for all bend radius levels.

This allows for elongation during bending and prevents bowing or stretching of the material. The features are options are in the Overall Bending Options menu of the BENDING Menu.

Feed-Bend Motion Adjust %



Floating Point Value

Using a Value of ZERO



A value of ZERO will cause no adjustment in the Feed motion during Feed Bending.

Using a Value BELOW ZERO



For example, enter -5 (negative 5) to adjust the Feed motion during Feed bending by negative 5 percent.

Use this value will accomodate for...


  1. Extreme elongation that cause the Feed axis to jump after the motion is complete and the bend dies open. (Larger/stiffer tubes)
  2. Bowing of the smaller diameter tubes.

Decreasing the value too much will likely cause the tube to pull from the chuck.

Using a Value of ABOVE ZERO



For example, enter 5 (positive 5) to move 5 percent further during Feed Bending..

Increasing the value too much will cause the Feed to attempt to press further for final position, not allowing it to come into position.
