OPERATION
Programmer Overview
•
This draw bender utilizes a fully programmable touch screen operator interface. The unique
operator interface allows you to write and save 170 programs with 10 bends per program.
Operation is extremely simple to learn. Simple foot pedal controls allow you to easily
produce fast and accurate bends. The following instructions will walk you through the basic
functions.
•
Be sure to follow the dry running instructions to familiarize yourself with all the functions of
the control before any actual bending of material is performed.
Note: See the Screen Shots section of the manual to match the figure call outs.
Machine Start up and Homing
1. Tum the main power switch to the "ON" position.
2. It takes about 1 minute for the programmer to boot
up. The machine has been homed from the factory
and does not need to be re-homed unless the
encoder or drive motor needs servicing. In the
Home or “0” position, the flat of the spindle is
parallel to the machine frame.
3. The programmer will display the "RMD MAIN
SCREEN" see Fig.1.
4. On the RMD MAIN SCREEN, you can chose
"MANUAL MODE" or "RUN, VIEW OR EDIT A
PROGRAM".
CAUTION:
Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
CAUTION:
Keep hands and fingers clear of the dies and swing arms.
Stand to the front of the machine to avoid getting hit with the material during the
bending process. When handling large heavy materials make sure they are properly
supported.
