Easy Handling The Microsoft Windows® based Software, PowerBend, is easy to learn since there are no CNC programming skills required. Training is accomplished smoothly. All necessary inputs are prompted and displayed on the screen. Inputs can be corrected at any time and minimum distances are checked instantly to guard against improper inputs. The operator is allowed to use outside, inside, center line, and radius dimensions. Software can be switched between mm and inches. Programming example The software offers 6 different bending elements, which can be combined with one another. For example, this 4-bend sample is split into 2 bending operations. The first operation is a Z-bend (bending operation no. 1) and the second operation is a U-bend (bending operation no. 5). The dividing line (see illustration) can be placed at any position. The software then asks for all necessary values and checks all figures, allowing errors to be corrected immediately. These figures are used to calculate the developed length and the side stop position. A graphic of the bend work piece is then shown.

Calculated Values The PowerBend software automatically calculates the flat length of each part being bent and determines the exact position of the side stop. Up to 15 bends can be calculated for one work piece.
