Dry Running
•
Once you are familiar with the machine and programming unit, it is important to dry run a few
programs without any tooling or material installed.
•
Follow the steps in the Running a Program sections to dry run the program.
•
Repeat this process as many times as needed to fully understand the functions and controls.
Manual Bend
1. Select this feature to bend manually without the need to create a program. The actual
degree will be displayed while in this mode. This mode also allows you to enter in one bend
angle and on spring back value Fig 9.
2. With the arrow keys a bend speed from 1-6 can be selected.
Running a Program
1. Choose "RUN, VIEW OR EDIT A PROGRAM" from the RMD MAIN SCREEN Fig 1.
2. To edit a program, choose the program you wish to edit by touching the name of the
program from the right side column. Use the up and down arrows to move the screen up or
down one line or one page at a time. Dashed lines in the name indicate that no program is
saved to that location.
3. After selecting the program touch the RUN button and the program parameters will be
displayed Fig 6.
4. Verify the spindle is clear and ready to perform a dry run or that the die is secure and
material properly loaded.
5. Press and hold the Forward foot pedal down to produce the sample bend.
6. When at the final position, the screen will read,
“Bend Done. Release FWD Pedal” and then
"Press REV Pedal to H
ome” Figs 7 and 8.
7. Press and hold the reverse foot pedal until the spindle reaches "0" degrees.
8. If a second or more bends have been programmed, the Bend # display will change to the
next bend number. This will be the next bend and so on all the way to the last programmed
bend up to bend 10.
9. Reposition or load the material for the next bend.
10. If only 1 bend is programmed, bend 1 will be repeated until the program is exited and a
different program is loaded.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to operate if you are not confident or do not
understand the controls! Feel free to consult the factory with any questions.
