How to Use VTube-STEP to Setup a Winton RD Bender
You can use the VTube-STEP EXPORT menu to send a new part data to a Winton RD bender.
|
STEP 1 - Start the Export
Press the EXPORT Winton WMC File button. |
STEP 2 - Export Window
Choose a good starting Winton WMC Template file. Use the ellipsis button if necessary to select a template file. A template file contains your starting setup for a Winton bender. |
STEP 3 - Setup the Values
Loading the Winton template will display a starting set of values for the WMC file. |
STEP 4 - Save the Winton File
Save the Winton file to the network location where the Winton control can also find the file. |
STEP 5 - Load the Winton File Into the Bender Control and Bend the Tube
Load the new Winton file into the control, finish the setup of the bender, then bend the tube. |
VTube-LASER Setup for Winton Communications
VTube-LASER uses a Benderlink grid to setup the communications protocol for each bender. The grid is in Setup Options, Measure 2, Setup Benderlink Options menu. In the Benderlink options menu, choose the bender to edit by selecting the cells in the bender row you want to setup.

How to Use the VTube-LASER Winton RD Communications to CORRECT the Bender
In this example, the measured part is out of profile tolerance in the first straight. |
STEP 1: Enter and Prepare The Bender Setup Menu
Switch to the Bender Setup menu (see the navigation pane on the right), then follow these steps.
|
STEP 2: RECALL the Data from the Bender
This procedure assumes that the LRA bender data may have changed at the bender. If an operator adjusted this data before bending the part that you just measured, then VTube needs to know about that adjusted values before making corrections to them.
|
STEP 3: AUTO SEND the Data Corrections to the Bender
Now send the ORANGE COLUMNS to the bender. These are the corrected LRA bender data columns.
|
STEP 4: Load the File At the Bender And Bend The Tube
Load the adjusted file into the Winton bender control and bend the adjusted tube. |
