In traditional online programming, the CNC bending machine sits idle while the operator calculates Y-B-C coordinates (Y: carriage feed, B: rotation, C: bend angle). A machine that is being programmed is a machine that is not producing parts. With offline software, you generate the G-code or part program while the machine is bending the previous job. The result? Near-continuous spindle operation.
The programmer opens the D-Bend offline software, imports the file, and selects the tooling setup (e.g., 42mm bend die, 2.0T mandrel). The software auto-generates the bend sequence. d-bend offline software
