− | Insert Text
| + | To opperate the CNC Press Break Under the 'Create Bend' tab, select 'new bend'. |
| + | Then select the proper Punch (Standard 35 *) and Die (4-way w/risers). |
| + | Then select the material that you will be bending and the proper angle that you want. |
| + | Then add material thickness and bend width |
| + | |
| + | Under the 'run' Tab select new and create a name for the job. |
| + | Select the add bend button on the bottom right of the screen, make sure all settings are correct. |
| + | Press the green run button on the bottom left |
| + | |
| + | Press BOTH green buttons on the machine to move the punch down to the safety clearance area. |
| + | Enter your material into the machine |
| + | press the foot pedal twice to bend the material. (do multiple times if multiple bends on the same job) |
| + | |
| + | ==Over/Under bending== |
| + | If you set the machine to a 90 degree bend and it executes a 92 degree bend, this is called an overbend. The machine is able to account for this. If you happen to have an over/under bend select the OPPOSITE bend and input the amount of the over/under bend. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | If a 90 degree input produces a 92degree bend select 'under bend 2 degrees' |
| + | |
| + | If a 90 degree input produces a 88degree bend select 'over bend 2 degrees' |

| + | |
| + | After the bend is properly set up in the computer, press the two green buttons simultaneously. This should lower the punch to the safety clearance zone. |
| + | |
| + | Once in this zone insert your material into the machine where you want the bend to be and hold with two hands. |
| + | |
| + | Press the foot pedal twice and be careful not to let the metal hit you while its bending. |

| === Bending Steps === | | === Bending Steps === |
− | #Ensure that your sheet metal is thinner or equivalent to 16-gauge sheet metal, and ensure that it is less than 48" in width.
| + | |
− | #If making a bend for a box or a pan, adjust the fingers so that the equivalent width of the fingers is just shorter than your sheet metal.
| |
− | #Adjust the clamping force and the clamping handle to allow room to insert your work piece.
| |
− | #Insert your work piece to the line you want to bend, centered in the brake, and clamp your piece securely.
| |
− | #Pull up on the bending handle of the leaf slowly until your piece is bent to the desired angle, and slowly lower the leaf.
| |
− | #If the piece does not bend straight, unclamp the handle on the over-bent side and adjust the top leaf.
| |
− | #Adjust the clamp handle, and remove your piece.
| |
− | #Put back any fingers if adjusted, and deburr if any rough edges are left.
