Lube Machine At Bend Count
[edit]
What is It?
This is a property in the CNCProcessor.cfg file. It is a bend count that instructs CNC Processor to enable the machine lube event when the bend count reaches a preset value.
[edit]
Value
The value is set from 1 to any value greater than 1 like this:
Lube Machine At Bend Count= 4000
The value of 4000 in this example represents 4000 motions of the bend arm. Therefore, the machine would be lubed about every 2000 bends using the 4000 count.
[edit]
Example for Calculating the Value: Lube Times Per Time Period
For example, you could estimate the number of times the bender should lube per shift like this:
- Estimate the number of bends you produce in a shift
- Multiply the number of bends X 2 to get BEND ARM MOVES per shift
- Determine how many times you want to lube the machine during a shift.
- Divide the BEND ARM MOVES with the number of machine lubes you would like per shift
2000 bends per shift 2000 x 2 = 4000 Bend Arm Moves If you want to lube 3 times per shift, then... 4000 bend arm moves / 3 times each shift = Lube Machine At Bend Count= 1333
