Principles of CNC Bender Data Transfer

This describes basic principles for bender data transfer to CNC Bender.

Create Supravision Data to Transfer the Master Data

CNC Bender can import Supravision data files that contain the XYZ master data for setup of a new part.

STEP 1	Create the SV data file using a software package like Supravision, TubeCalc, TubeCAD, VTube-STEP or one of the Benderlink packages. If you use measuring center software like Supravision or DOCS.
STEP 2	Save the file to the c:\cnc\svparts folder in CNC Bender operator station (use a thumb drive or make a direct network connection)
STEP 3	In CNC Bender, go to the Tube Shape menu/XYZ tab
STEP 4	Press the SVin button button to select the Supravision file. Import the data into the XYZ page.
STEP 5	Press the Calc FRB button to build the bender data
STEP 6	CNC Bender automatically switches to the FRB menu to display the calculated data

Enter the Data in CNC Bender Offline

CNC Bender OFFLINE can be purchased to enter part data at a remote station, then save parts that are compatible with CNC Bender software.

STEP 1

Enter data in the Tube Shape menu (Pre-Bend, FRB, Post-Bend).
