Benderlink Bend Edit Menu

    This menu allows the editing of bender data within Benderlink memory.

    The menu includes five tab pages:

      1. Work Specs Data
      2. FPB Data
      3. Notes
      4. TubeCalc (Transfer to and from)
      5. Import Supravision Data

    Work Specs Tab

    The Work Specs displays the Work Specs data that was most recently loaded to or from the bender control.

    FPB Tab

    The FPB tab displays the FPB data that was most recently loaded to or from the bender control.

    FPB is an acronym for "Feed, Plane-of-Bend, and Bend Angle", and it represents the tube data that controls the shape of the tube as bent by the bender.

    Since KEINS and Chiyoda controls can have up to 30 process rows (or bends) in the FPB data, Benderlink allows you to set the number of rows of FPB data from 1 to 30.

    NOTES Tab

    The NOTES tab displays the Benderlink notes data that can be stored along with the bender data.

    The bender control does not send these notes. They are part of Benderlink only.

    The notes feature lets you store additional information about the current data along with the bender data stored in Benderlink files.

    TUBECALC Tab

    The TUBECALC tab allows you to transfer the current tube shape in Benderlink to TubeCalc for edit and/or display.

    It also allows you start TubeCalc for entry of a new part shape based upon centerline XYZ data.

    SV IMPORT Tab

    The SV IMPORT tab allows you to import Supravision files directly into Benderlink for editing and transfer to the bender.
