Offline Bending
Offline Bending
Since 2008 Metamation have provided Offline Bending Software to the industry, in 2016 we launched a new offline bending engine built from the ground up – FluxBEND. FluxBEND was designed to be extremely fast, intuitive to use and can help take your offline bending savings to the next level. FluxBEND can support fully automated processing times from a CAD to BEND Solution in 1-2 seconds.
FLUX BEND Latest Generation
CAD In
FluxBEND has the capability to import multiple industry-standard file formats both as a Part or as Assembly along with reading MetaCAD 2D and 3D as well.
Interface
FluxBEND features our new Interface “Clarity” which is designed to be clean and intuitive helping to reduce time spent searching and clicking which icon to use.
Bend Tooling
FluxBEND has extensive press brake tooling libraries preloaded from a variety of tooling manufacturers and configurations for automatic tooling along with additional support for angle measurement tools and the capability to create custom tools.
Optimal Setups
FluxBEND’s smart algorithms make optimal use of tool selection, back gauge positioning and multistage setups.
Validation
Process validation is even more powerful with FluxBEND, with complete bend and brake analysis it will give you real-time visibility for any potential problems before starting production.
Reports
Complementing NC code generation FluxBEND also comes with standard and customisable reports that can be printed or saved in electronic formats. These reports show everything from the tools used to setting positions through to sequencing of the parts.
Batch Processing
FluxBEND has the ability to batch process parts or assemblies and also offers a nesting module for press brakes to further optimise and organise your setups.
Unfolding
FluxBEND supports geometry adaption to help achieve a more accurate flat pattern, which can be exported or sent directly to MetaCAM or MetaCAM Enterprise edition for 2D processing (tooling and nesting).
