Contents


Enhancements Information

  • Now ALL data found in an FIF file is converted to the Supravision format.
  • Distance data can be automatically converted to the other unit (Millimeters to Inches, or Inches to Millimeters).
  • Improved error handling.
  • This version retains both the XYZ and YBC data intact. There is no forced conversion in one direction or another between the two data types.


Data Included In Conversion

XYZ DATA


  • NEW - Properly skip REFERENCE points in the XYZ data. (Reference points are not intersection or end points. They are not used to define the shape of the tube.)
  • NEW - Retain XYZ data as it exists in the FIF file. No longer attempt a recalc from YBC to XYZ. This allows measuring centers to be sure to retain original XYZ MASTER data during conversion.

YBC DATA


  • NEW - Retain YBC data as it exists in the FIF file. No longer attempt a recalc from XYZ to YBC. This allows measuring centers to retain original YBC bender setup data during conversion.

VELOCITY DATA


NEW Conversion of YBC axes speeds: 1 - 8

FUNCTION DATA


New Conversion of all YBC FUNCTION Bits (12345678)

SPECIAL FUNCTION DATA


New Conversion of all YBC FUNCTION STOP and LAST Bits

PROCESS DATA


NEW VALUES CONVERTED:

  • Default Radius
  • End A Diameter
  • End B Diameter

(Diameter was already converted)

TOOL DATA


Handles Up to 9 Radius Levels for:

  • NEW - Radius
  • NEW - Fixed Springback
  • NEW - Proportional Springback
  • NEW - Clamp Length
  • NEW - Clearance Feed
  • NEW - Clearance Angle

NEW MACHINE DATA from EL Setup Data


  • Ymin
  • Interference Zone 1
  • Interference Zone 2
  • Load Position
  • Load Offset
  • Y Position Tolerance
  • Pressure Die Open Code
  • Boost Delay

NEW MACHINE DATA from EL Extended Setup Data


  • Any number of EXTENDED setup values are automatically converted
  • Older benders (like Velog, EL-2000, and Premier) contain 40 extended setup values
  • Newer benders can contain more
  • FIF Translator takes in up to 99 extended values for conversion.

Automatic Conversion of Units

The following values can be automatically converted to Inches or Millimeters during conversion:
