CNC Bender can now learn from you during setup. Teach the bender any motion for difficult transitions between bends Teach Mode is powerful feature that allows you to Jog an axis into position while CNC Bender "watches" and remembers your move exactly as you entered it.

OVERVIEW of USING TEACH MODE

• • Enable Teach Mode inside the options list for bend 1. (See Screen 1)
    
    
  • Power on and Cycle Start the bender
    
    
  • Press AUTO mode.
    
    
  • Activate the Teach button in the Control Mode bar. (See Screen 2)
    
    
  • Load and bend the part
    
    
  • After bend 1 is finished, the dies will open, and CNC Bender will enter STEP mode, and display the Teach Mode menu. (See Screen 3)
    
    
  • Teach the bender up to 10 Custom Commands - each command can contain any number of simultaneous jog motions. (See Screen 4)
    
    
  • Exit the Teach Mode window and finish bending the part.
    
    

• Other things to know about the new Teach Mode:
  • Teach in PreBend immediately after you chuck the part and press the run buttons.
    
    
  • Control extra moves in PostBend using the final bend's Custom Commands.
    
    
  • Jog an axis into position while CNC Bender "watches" your move.
  • Jog an axis to its zero position
  • The learned moves are held in objects called Custom Commands (see below).
    
    

• Custom Commands store the moves learned during Teach Mode
  
  
• A single Custom Command can contain any number of simultaneous Jog Motions. In a SINGLE Custom Command, you could teach the bender how to move the...
  • FEED (carriage)
  • while ROTATING
  • while shifting the VERTICAL RADIUS
  • while shifting the HORIZONTAL RADIUS
  • while returning the BEND ARM
  • while pulling the MANDREL
  • while activating the KICKER
  • while doing anything else you can make move on the bender
    
    

• The PreBend section, the BEND section, and the PostBend section store Custom Commands. Every BEND stores up to 10 custom commands. A 10 bend part could have up to 120 custom commands.

• Each Bend's Custom Command changes how the bender works after that bend when transitioning to the next bend.
  
  

• Custom Commands can be MANUALLY entered and edited without the bender running in Teach Mode.
  
  

• Or Custom Commands can be edited even after they were built using Teach Mode.
  
  

• All Custom Commands are stored in the part file that contains the part data.

• Custom Commands are available in the FRB menu after every bend.
