This describes basic principles for bender data transfer to CNC Bender.
Contents |
IDEA 1: Create Supravision Data to Transfer the Master Data
CNC Bender can import Supravision data files that contain the XYZ master data for setup of a new part.
|
STEP 1 |
Create the SV data file using a software package like Supravision, TubeCalc, TubeCAD, VTube-STEP or one of the Benderlink packages. If you use measuring center software like Supravision or DOCS. |
|
|
STEP 2 |
Save the file to the c:\cnc\svparts folder in CNC Bender operator station (use a thumb drive or make a direct network connection) |
|
|
STEP 3 |
In CNC Bender, go to the Tube Shape menu/XYZ tab |
|
|
STEP 4 |
Press the SVin button button to select the Supravision file. Import the data into the XYZ page. |
|
|
STEP 5 |
Press the Calc FRB button to build the bender data |
|
|
STEP 6 |
CNC Bender automatically switches to the FRB menu to display the calculated data |
|
IDEA 2: Enter the Data in CNC Bender Offline Then Save as a Part
CNC Bender OFFLINE can be purchased to enter part data at a remote station, then save parts that are compatible with CNC Bender software.
|
STEP 1 |
Enter data in the Tube Shape menu (Pre-Bend, FRB, Post-Bend). |
|
|
STEP 2 |
Press the SAVE button. |
|
|
STEP 3 |
Enter the Part name to use in the Save Part File menu and press Save.
|
|
|
STEP 4 |
Enter the File menu by pressing the File button in the main menu. |
|
|
STEP 5 |
Press the Load Part button |
|
|
STEP 6 |
Select the new part just copied and press the Load the File button. |
|
|
STEP 7 |
Finalize the setup of the bender. |
|
IDEA 3: Send New Data or Corrections Data From a Measuring Center Through Benderlink
Benderlink for CNC Bender is designed primarily as a way to connect CNC Bender to a measuring center to allow the measuring center to control the bender setup.
IDEA 4: Combine Ideas 1 and 2
You could use SVin combined with CNC Bender OFFLINE to use data from various sources and setup the bender before the data reaches the bender.
