Note: counter bending die axis is equipped with an encoder. This axis must be set to zero before the
machine will operate. Depress (
ENTER
) button once to zero this axis. (Note: Always place material
with the weld-seam up to neutralize the seam. Also, the counterbending die needs to be lubricated

shown on the display. This value is the material springback. Depress (
ENTER
) button once and the
program automatically compensates for the springback value.
4. Tighten large socket set screw on the side of the vise assembly until it contacts the back of the sup-
port bracket. The springback value has been set for the first bend within the sequence only. Springback
value must be programmed for each bend within the program.
