The parameter "connect" is to have a possibility to connect certain programs to one
another. This option can be used to produce 3-dimensional products.
• Connecting CNC programs
With the parameter Connect it is possible to create a 3-dimensional product. The control auto-
matically executes the bend sequences in the different directions in succession. You program
the control as follows:
Instruction for 3-dimensional product programming (9 steps)
1 Create the product in one direction.
2 Create the product in the other direction.
There are now two bendprograms of one product in two directions. You connect these pro-
grams as follows:
3 Select the program with the bendsequence in the direction which you want to execute in
the first place. You select the program of the product via menu 3, product selection.
4 Go to menu 2, data editing. Select the parameter CONNECT. Enter the program number
of the product in the other direction.
5 Select the second program as in step 3. Repeat step 4. If you want to connect two pro-
grams, as in this example, you enter the program number of the first program. The cycle
is closed.
When you want to execute more than two programs in succession (not necessarily to create a
3-dimensional product) the second program must refer to the third. The third program to the
fourth and so on. The final program of the cycle must always refer to the first program.
To produce products with connected programs the next four actions are necessary.
6 Select the first program
7 Select the Automatic mode
8 Program the amount of products you want to produce with the ‘stock count’ parameter.
9 Push the Start key.
When the first program has been finished the second program starts automatically. The pro-
gram counter indicates the remaining amount of repeats.
