Bendxyz v5.jpg

Summary of Version 5

This version was released on July 1, 2008. It is a software is designed to convert from bender data to centerline XYZ coordinates of end points and intersection points for a tube shape. If you have bender data in any of these formats, you can calculate back to XYZ coordinates in space.

Bend Data Type Description
LRA Standard CNC Draw Bender
YBC Standard Eaton Leonard CNC Draw Bender
Military 1 Military Style Bender Data with Accumulated LENGTHs and ROTATIONS and draw bending
Military 2 Military Style Bender Data with Accumulated LENGTHs and ROTATIONS and compression bending
Conrac Like Military 1
Compression Bending Bends that are made by pushing the tube around a stationary bend die with a wiper. This is the opposite of "draw" bending.

Enhancement Description
Convert From More Bender Data Types
Bendxyz calcsetup.jpg
Previous versions could only handle one type of bender data. This version (v5) can handle many bender data types.
Much Improved User Interface Screen sizes are increasing, so we've discarded the older TAB interface. This new interface shows all the data at the same time. Whenever you make a change to the bender data, the XYZ centerline data changes automatically and instantly. See the image at the right.
Insert/Delete Rows with Popup Menu
Bendxyz popup.jpg
The new grid that we use in this interface allows INSERT and DELETE of rows with a pop up menu.
Print either Grid independently Either the BENDER or XYZ grids can be printed independently
Skinned Interface

The interface can be skinned with several different "skins". Or skinning can be switched off.
Custom Name the BENDER Columns The bender data columns can now be custom-named.
Warning Colored Cells Now bender data grid cells are shaded light red when they contain data that is not valid input.
Expandable Bender Data Pane

The bender data pane can be expanded to show full-screen by making the other panes (General Setup and Calculated XYZ Data) collapse right and left.
Custom Grid Fonts You can now choose the font name, size, and color in the two grids.
Multi-Cell Selection for COPY Popup Menu

Now you can choose multiple cells in the grids for COPY to the Windows clipboard. Copy columns, multiple columns, or rows of data.
Multi-Cell Selection for PASTE Popup Menu Now you can choose multiple cells in the BENDER grid for PASTE from the Windows clipboard. Paste columns, rows, or entire sections of the grid.
Reverse Bend Data
Bendxyz reversebender.jpg
Reverse the bender data "end-for-end." This feature reverses the foundational LRA data so that even absolute data is recalculated properly.
