Lube Machine At Bend Count

What is It?

This is a property in the CNCProcessor.cfg file. It is a bend count that instructs CNC Processor to enable the machine lube event when the bend count reaches a preset value.

Value

The value is set from 1 to any value greater than 1 like this:

Lube Machine At Bend Count= 1333

The value of 4000 in this example represents 4000 motions of the bend arm. Therefore, the machine would be lubed about every 2000 bends using the 4000 count.

Example for Calculating the Value: Lube Times Per Time Period

For example, you could estimate the number of times the bender should lube per shift like this:

  1. Estimate the number of bends you may produce in a shift
  2. Multiply the number of bends X 2 to get BEND ARM MOVES per shift
  3. Determine how many times you want to lube the machine during a shift.
  4. Divide the BEND ARM MOVES with the number of machine lubes you would like per shift
2000 bends per shift
2000 x 2 = 4000 Bend Arm Moves

If you want to lube 3 times per shift, then...
4000 bend arm moves / 3 times each shift =

Lube Machine At Bend Count= 1333
