View source for Feed-Bend Motion Adjust Percent

[[image: feed-bend_motion_adjust_multiple_radii.jpg|450px]]

This [[Dynamic Option]] allows for adjusting the Feed/Carriage motion during Feed-Bending for all bend radius levels.

This allows for elongation during bending and prevents bowing or stretching of the material.  The features are options are in the [[Overall Bending Options]] menu of the [[BENDING Menu]].

A value of '''ZERO''' will cause no adjustment in the Feed motion during Feed Bending.

For example, enter '''-5''' (negative 5) to adjust the Feed motion during Feed bending by '''negative 5 percent'''.

Use this value will accomodate for...


# Extreme elongation that cause the Feed axis to jump after the motion is complete and the bend dies open. (Larger/stiffer tubes)
# Bowing of the smaller diameter tubes.

<i>Decreasing the value too much will likely cause the tube to pull from the chuck.</i>

For example, enter '''5''' (positive 5) to move '''5 percent further''' during Feed Bending..

<i>Increasing the value too much will cause the Feed to attempt to press further for final position, not allowing it to come into position.</i>
