Use correction mapping in Bender Setup to move corrections up or down columns and to ignore specific corrections.

This ability is important for certain styles of benders - like SOCO, COMCO, and BendPro - because some users prefer to not use the teach mode to create avoidance moves. This ability allows the corrections to skip data that is used for extra moves or avoidance moves.

Each column of adjustments now has their own color-coded Map column.

• Yellow indicates that the adjustments were pushed down one row from the cell and downward in the grid.
• Red indicates that a correction is ignored.
• Pink indicates the the corrections are pulled up one row from the bottom of the grid.
• Green indicates that the correction is used.

The Correction Mapping values are stored in the project files and recalled automatically when the project is loaded.

Each Map cell has a dropdown control with choices for controlling the corrections value to its right.

Click on the map three times to choose from the list.

The map choices are applied to the correction values only.

This is an example of how to skip a row for an avoidance move at the bender.

This grid shows the bender data before the OMCG wire bender adds an extra row.

The operator programmed an avoidance move in row 3 at the OMCG bender.

You press the RECALL LRA to get the changes.

VTube-LASER sees the change as an extra row and asks for permission to add the extra row. Allow it to add the row.
