The asterisk indicates which bend is presently displayed.

•

Production time 

At the top of the turn information (before the first bend) the total production time is indicated. 
This time is calculated from the following settings:

-

X-axis speed

-

Y-opening and Y-axis speeds

-

R-axis speed

-

Turn time programmed in the turn time table of the assignment

With automatic bend sequence computation the controller tries to find the minimum produc-
tion time.

•

Screen data 

On top of the screen some general important data is displayed.

Col.prot.on

Collision and backgauge checks on or off

Punch: 1

Punch number selected

die: 1

Die number selected

R-in = 1.3

Inner radius of the bend to be obtained with selected die

Variants On

Variants programming enabled: the product has a valid CNC pro-
gram that can be modified from the graphical menu.
