Check.jpg NEW - TEACH MODE and CUSTOM COMMANDS

  • CNC Bender can now learn from you during setup. Teach the bender any motion for difficult transitions between bends

  • The learned moves are held in objects called Custom Commands.

  • PreBend allows for 10 Custom Commands. They run immediately after you press the run buttons.

  • Each BEND can be followed by up to 10 Custom Commands.

  • Control extra moves in PostBend using the final bend's Custom Commands.

  • Each Custom Command can contain any number of simultaneous Jog Motions. In a SINGLE Custom Command, you could teach the bender how to move the...
    • FEED (carriage)
    • while ROTATING
    • while shifting the VERTICAL RADIUS
    • while shifting the HORIZONTAL RADIUS
    • while returning the BEND ARM
    • while pulling the MANDREL
    • while activating the KICKER
    • while doing anything else you can make move on the bender

  • So Custom Commands can control all actuators around the bender including directional valves - clamp, pressure die, kickers, grippers, mandrel, mist, machine lube - ANY ACTUATOR.

  • Custom Commands can be MANUALLY entered and edited. You can enter Custom Commands without Teach Mode.

  • Custom Commands can be edited even after they were learned during Teach Mode.

Teach Mode activates after a Teach Mode Section was encountered during bending

  • When the robot is in the bender and motion is being blocked, the interface shows "Waiting for Robot to Clear - Blocking Motion"

  • When the robot is clear - the motion continues automatically.
