CHANGES to CNC BENDER: Push Bending
NEW - Push Bending Profile Setup Button
Push-bending is achieved using roller dies rather than clamps and pressure dies. The tube is pushed by the carriage through the rollers. The bend arm is rotated to a position that will cause the tube to form into a large radius. The more angle on the bend arm, the smaller the resulting radius. This allows standard benders to create radius values much larger than is possible with draw bending alone.
NEW - Push Bending Profile Table Setup Menu
The setup is performed in this menu:
Each profile row contains a profile setup for a given radius. An unlimited number of profile values can be entered. Read more about how the Push Bending Profile Table works. Using this method of calculation, it is possible to calculate different Push Bends by indicating the bend angle.
NEW - Push Bending Profile Name Dynamic Option - Bend Options
The bend options now include a new dynamic option that will allow you choose one of the push bend profile names.
NEW - Push Bending Profile Enable - Color Indicator
The bend option field changes color when you select a push bend profile in the bender options.
NEW - Push Bending Profile Enable - Low Level
The low level option is a safety feature that disables all push-bending until the feature is enabled.
