Servo-controlled pressure die positioning is much more accurate and the motion is smoother.
This feature is especially useful for extreme accuracy during part capture. Parts can be accurately captured by the pressure die during PREBEND (Load), BENDING, and POSTBENDING (Unloading).

PreBend Options: PD Load Capture Position This feature allows you to move the pressure die to a position close to the bend die for load-capture.
Overall Options: PD Jog Position After Bends This feature allows you to open the pressure die slightly after a bend to relieve pressure before a mandrel pull.
Bending Options: PD Servo Retract Position This feature allows you to partially retract the pressure die during Multi-Bending and immediately after a bend.
PostBending Options: PD Unload Capture Position This feature allows you to partially retract the pressure die immediately after the last bend for unloading.

A new Low Level PD Mode option allows the Pressure Die to be treated as a standard output actuator or a servo axis.

A new Low Level PD Servo Fixed Close Position option is added that controls the single fixed position of a closed pressure die when the PD Mode is set to Servo Fixed Position.

COMDEF Names Changed
