Difference between revisions of "Feed Axis Faults During Feed Bending"

Possible Problem: The Centerline Radius values do not to match the bend die radii on the bender.

If the radius value is incorrect, then the Feed motion calculated will probably be incorrect. For example, a 90 degree bend angle on a 70 mm radius will move the Feed axis about 110mm. However, if your bender actually uses a 50 mm bend die, then the correct Feed axis motion is about 79mm. The difference of 31mm could easily cause the Feed axis to show a fault condition.

Possible Problem: The Feed Axis Adjust % Value is not set to the proper value in the Tool page.

This value compensates for elongation during Feed-Bending. It is a negative integer value that indicates how much carriage travel to remove from the motion.

Here's an example:

• At Feed Adjust Percent of 0%, the calculated feed motion for 155.6 degrees of bend is 8.1"
  
  
• However the actual motion of the Feed axis is 7.5"
  
  
• The Feed Adjust Percent is therefore -7.4
  
  

Enter that value into the Feed Adjust Percent field and press AutoBuild
