During Feed-Bending it is possible to experience a Feed Axis Fault that is most often caused by one of two issues:

TOOL PAGE

|
|
TOOL PAGE
That calculates to -14% elongation |
|
Here are two indicators that will help you get to a resolution quickly:
- If the Feed Axis faults especially on large angle bends, then one or both of these are probably an issue.
- If the Feed Axis does NOT fault for the same part shape while bending with no part in the machine.
