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. Press 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.
