An Industrial, Flat Panel PC serves as the operator interface
and the
control computer. This high level of integration reduces
component count,
cables, and connectors while increasing
reliability. A touch screen with tempered
glass eliminates the
need for a keyboard and allows for reliable and easy
operation.
Only the highest quality components are used and are readily
available
from several sources world wide. No proprietary
hardware is used.

Extremely Compact
The BendPro control is housed in a compact aluminum
enclosure. The control is networked (Ethernet) to a compact
I/O system which consumes very little space in the benders
electrical cabinet.
Highest Functionality of any Control
The BendPro control is currently being used by end users,
OEM
machine builders, and re-builders on a wide variety of
machines,
world wide. The list of supported functions
continuosly grows. |

Avoidance Moves
The BendPro has the most advanced and useful options for programming
avoidance moves of any control on the market. The Teach Mode is the most commonly used option because it is extremely intuitive and versatile. With
Teach Mode, the operator uses the Joy Stick to jog each axis to the target
position. Each move or combination of moves is recorded, this allows the control
to play the moves back in exactly the desired sequence. Teach Mode is used
for programming Avoidance Moves and for optimizing bending sequences to
increase production. Teach Mode works in CNC mode (Live on the bender) or
in SIM mode (3D simulation mode). |
