1. Alter between 2 display modes
The main screen is divided in 2 main display areas, on the right is the tool and job graphic that
simulate as the profile gets folded up.
On the left half of the main screen is the job edit section that displays either the numerical
data block consisting of rows and columns holding job dimensions, angles etc (above) or the
actual profile indicating dimensions and angle (below).
ress the mode button to toggle between the profile and the numerical data block

2. Enter a job using the data entry method
On the left half of the screen is the Data entering area.
If the profile is displayed, press the mode button to change from the profile display to the
numerical data block.
The data block is divided into 5 vertical columns from left to right.
From left to right is the dimension, angle, trim angle, tool depth and retract columns.
From top to bottom is the bend numbers of the profile from 1 to the total number of folds plus
one. This is because any profile has one more side than folds. The last dimension will not have an
angle.
1. ress on the top left hand cell, column 1, row 1. On the pop-up keypad, press “0” and “OK”
This will clear the whole data field.
2. Enter the first length 50
3. Enter the first angle 90
4. Enter the second length 150
5. Enter the next angle 90
6. Repeat steps 4&5 until all bends is entered.
7. Enter the last length 50
As you go along, the profile is drawn on the right so you can see what it looks like. If a certain
bend is on the wrong side of the material, change the sign of the angle to a negative for that
bend. For example if you draw a 2 bend profile as a U shape but you need a Z shape, change the
angle for bend 2 to negative. This means that the work piece will have to be turned over from
top to bottom. In the above example bend 1 & 2 is done on the top side (U shape). Change bend 2
to -90 to change to Z shape.

3. Draw a new Job using Quic draw
ress the Quickdraw button and the following screen will appear.
Starting from the top left point of the profile above, touch the screen approximately on each
corner where you would like each bend to be, the points will automatically snap to the grid and
the values are rounded off. ress UNDO to redo a bend
Undo Removes last bend
Cancel Exit without using current Shape
Advanced use of Quickdraw can be found in section 21.
When you are happy with the shape press OK and you will be returned to the main screen, where
you can fine-tune the values easily simply by touching on the dimension or angle to be altered.
4. Editing sizes and angles
Touch on any dimension or angle on the profile and enter the new value on the pop-up keypad.

5. Select Tools from the library
Touch on the top tool graphic on the main screen to go to the tool screen.
On this page, a new tool can be drawn up, named and saved. This is discussed in section 23. To
select a different tool from the library, press open.
Select the desired Tool. If there are more tools than one page, use up and down arrow.
ress CLOSE to return to Main page

6. Select Dies from the library
ress on the die (bottom tool) graphic on the main screen to go to the Die screen.
On this page, a new Die can be created, named and saved as discussed in section 24. To select a
different Die from the library, press open.
Select the desired Die. If more Dies than one page, use up and down arrow.
ress cancel, then close to return to Main page.
ress on the V button to select the desired V (Material thickness X 8)

7. Step through job and find collisions
ress on the bend sequence numbers (Seq) below the graphic one after the other from left to
right and see how it will fold up and whether there are any collisions. As you step through the
numbers, the folding will be animated on the graphic
8. Alter the Bend Sequence
ress the bend sequence button to go to the bend sequence page
Touch on the first bend (red dot on profile), it will turn grey, then the next bend and the next
until complete. As you go along, you can see on the right how it would be folding. If the wrong
bend is selected, use the UNDO button. Alternatively, enter the bend sequence by pressing on
the bend numbers below the profile. Screen returns to main automatically after last bend
entered.

9. Find collisions
Warning: If a bend sequence has been set before, it will be lost when pressing the Collusion
button. The collusions button will automatically step through bends ad if a collision is found, it
will alter the bend sequence in an attempt to avoid collusions.
ress the collusions button and it will attempt to find an alternative bend sequence
automatically if the default 1,2,3,4 creates a collision.
If it finds a workable bend sequence, it does not mean it will be the best or the fastest. A
manual bend sequence can be set in section 8
10. Select correct V width
ressing the V button will toggle between the different V’s on the current Die
11. Set Material Thic ness and width
Use the 2 buttons below to enter the correct thickness and width.

13. Run job without material
After downloaded a job, press START for the machine to position. While X&Y axis (Ram- and
Backgauge) is positioning, a bar graph indicates while it is positioning
When in position, the bar graphs disappear and the machine is ready to fold. The X and Y values
in the top right hand corner will turn from red to green. Without inserting material, use the
foot switch to execute the folds until all folds are completed and the press is ready for the
first fold. Observe between every fold that the machine is positioning correctly.
Fold up the job with actual material. Check angles.
14. Correct under or overfolding
The third column from the left is the angle trim column. If a fold is 5 degrees under, enter 5
into the appropriate cell
If it overfolds, enter -5.
Look at the difference in Tool-depth column
(4th from the left) Fold 3 is a 90d
Fold 3 0 trim depth = 108.5
Fold 2 -2 trim = 108.25
Fold 1 +3 trim = 108.89
If the trim values is generally all high, lets say 8 degrees on average, it can be because the
tensile strength is different or maybe the V width is slightly larger than measured. It is then
better to change the tensile strength correction on the Die screen and use no or small trim
values. Refer to section 22.
