DESCRIPTION
Bend Head Static bending mandrels. The center of the bending area that doesn’t move.
Bend Ring Rotating plate that carries the Bend Pin. Rotates around the Bend Head.
Bend Pin The moving bending mandrel that is mounted on the Bend Ring. This could be a pin pressed on the Bend Ring, or an easy to replace insert
Feed Wheels The four wheels that drive, or “feed” the wire into the bending area.
WIREWARE SCRIPT
PAUSE Holds the script until the “Resume” button is pressed. This is equivalent to the “!” in GCode (but we don’t support that code). This is different to the
G4 GCode command in that PAUSE does not need a time parameter.
FEED x Moves the wire an “x” amount in either inches or mm. The “x” value can be either positive (forward), or negative (backwards) Uses the feed speed
defined in the Material Profile
BEND a Moves the Bend Ring an “a” amount in degrees. The “a” value can be either positive (Clockwise) or negative (counterclockwise). Uses the bend speed
defined in the Material Profile
REPEAT n: ... END A loop that repeats the code between “REPEAT” and “END” an “n” number of times. Very useful when bending many copies of the same part, or
bump bending. Currently we do not support nested REPEAT loops (REPEAT within a REPEAT)
PINZ z
Moves the Bend Ring a “z” amount in either inches or mm. The “z” value can be either positive (up) or negative (down), but take in account that the
maximum travel is from 0 to -10mm, and could vary depending on your bend hardware configuration.
PINA a Moves the Bend Pin an “a” amount in degrees. PINA is a much more convenient way to write the GCode: “G90 G1 A_ F_”. The “a” value can be
either positive (Clockwise) or negative (Counterclockwise). Uses the bend speed defined in the Material Profile
