CNC Bender is ready to LEARN if you're ready to TEACH!

Teach Mode allows you to Jog any axis or actuator into position while CNC Bender "watches" and remembers your move exactly as you performed it. Teach the bender your knowledge for difficult transitions between bends.

The power of Teach Mode shows with its ease-of-use. Actual reactions of new operators prove that this is an easy-to-learn Teach Mode system. (We've been told that our system is one of the easiest to learn and use.) Of course, that translates into time-savings and increased productivity over the long-haul.

• OVERVIEW of USING TEACH MODE
  
  
  • Enable Teach Mode inside the options list for bend 1. (See Screen 1)
    
    
  • Power on and Cycle Start the bender
    
    
  • Press AUTO mode.
    
    
  • Activate the Teach button in the Control Mode bar. (See Screen 2)
    
    
  • Load and bend the part
    
    
  • After bend 1 is finished, the dies will open, and CNC Bender will enter STEP mode, and display the Teach Mode menu. (See Screen 3)
    
    
  • Teach the bender up to 10 Custom Commands - each command can contain any number of simultaneous jog motions. (See Screen 4)
    
    
  • Exit the Teach Mode window and finish bending the part.
    
    

• OTHER THINGS TO KNOW
  
  
  • Teach in PreBend immediately after you chuck the part and press the run buttons.
    
    
  • Control extra moves in PostBend using the final bend's Custom Commands.
    
    
  • Three Jog Motion speeds: Fast, Slow, and Fine-tune
    
    
  • Absolute values for each axis is shown in the Custom Command Editor in real-time during Teach Mode
    
    
  • The distance from goal for each axis is tracked and displayed in real-time during Teach Mode
    
    

• Custom Commands store the moves learned during Teach Mode
  
  
• A single Custom Command can contain any number of simultaneous Jog Motions. Here's an example: In a SINGLE Custom Command, you could teach the bender how to move the...
  

...at the same time in one Custom Command.

• OVERVIEW of EDITING a CUSTOM COMMAND
  
  
  • Select the "Edit Custom" button of the bend's Custom Command you want to create or edit (See Screen 1)
    
    
  • Select one of the ten available Custom Commands (See Screen 2)
    
    
  • Setup the Custom Command selected in the Custom Command Editor (See Screen 3)
    
    
  • Press the check mark button to exit the editor.
    
    
  • Press the check mark button to exit the selection list
    
    
  • Press AutoBuild
    
    
  • Run the program
    
    

• Every BEND stores up to 10 custom commands. For example, a 5 bend part could have up to 60 additional Custom Commands. (10 in PreBend and 50 for the bends. The last bend's Custom Command is used for PostBend.)
  
  

• Each Bend's Custom Command changes how the bender works after that bend when transitioning to the next bend.
  
  

• Custom Commands can be MANUALLY entered and edited without the bender running in Teach Mode.
  
  

• Or Custom Commands can be edited even after they were built using Teach Mode.
  
  

• All Custom Commands are stored in the part file that contains the part data.

• Custom Commands are available in the FRB menu after every bend.
