Using Bend Deductions

The machine reuses saved bend deductions during die bending. The customer can save their own values. The correction factor k, the bend deduction and the inner radius are interconnected by means of a formula.

The following applies:

If the correction factor k changes, the bend deduction changes as well.
If the bend deduction changes, the correction factor k changes as well.
If the inner radius changes, the bend deduction changes. However, the correction factor k remains unchanged.

Scenarios

Own bend deductions can be manually entered or imported into this screen.

Material - Displays the material for which the scenario applies.

Thickness - Displays the thickness of the sheet to which the scenario applies.

Punch Radius - Displays the upper tool radius for which the scenario applies.

Die V Width - Displays the lower tool width for which the scenario applies.

Die Radius - Displays the lower tool radius for which the scenario applies.

Die Angle - Displays the lower tool angle to which the scenario applies.

Add - Use this switch to add a Scenario.

Edit - Use this switch to allow editing of the selected scenario.

Copy - This will copy the information of the selected scenario, allowing editing and adding as a new scenario.

Delete - This option will delete the selected scenario.
