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

The OFFLINE version of CNC Bender can be used 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.

If you want to save the part to one of the operator stations directly, then use Select New Temporary Path to find the \cnc\parts folder on that operator station on the network, then save the part.

You can also use a USB thumb drive to transfer the part to an operator station.

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.

It is possible to connect to any SV-Network-compatible bender, or any Eaton-Leonard-Premier compatible bender with Benderlink.

See more here: Benderlink for CNC Bender

IDEA 4: Combine Ideas 1 and 2

You could use SVin in CNC Bender OFFLINE at a remote engineering station to use data from outside sources to setup the bender before the data reaches the operator station.
