Mandrel Lube

Topic: How to Use Mandrel Lube Mandrel Lube is a powerful feature that is used to precisely control when the lube is injected to the mandrel rod.

Where is the Mandrel Lube Option?

The lube feature is only available inside the Bend Option cells of the FRB menu. This allows an operator to control mandrel lube for each bend. Use the Mandrel Lube Enable to switch the feature on or off.

Mandrel Lube Start and Stop

This feature works with the Mandrel Lube Start and Mandrel Lube Stop angle settings. These control the start and stop of the mandrel lube based upon the bend angle. The start angle refers to where the lube zone starts: The values is from 0 degrees. The stop angle refers to where the lube zone ends: The value is an angle that is subtracted from the FINAL ANGLE. If you set this value to 50 degrees, and your bend angle is 50 degrees, then the lube will never start - because CNC Bender is told to stop the lube 50 degrees below the goal - which is 0 degrees.
