Fast production set-up and machine efficiency is increasingly critical in the sheet metal industry to minimize unproductive machine time. Offline programming has been a common practice for punching, laser and other profile cutting machines in the sheet metal industry for over 10 years. It follows logically that offline programming of press brakes is the next step in process optimization.
SigmaBEND offers an offline programming system for a wide variety of press brake machines complete with full 3D simulation of the bending process, eliminating the need to run test parts. Using SigmaBEND improves production process, specifically offering advantages in the areas of speed, quality and flexibility.
Features:
High level of automation
Ability to interactively change every programming parameter
3D simulation provides accurate preview of bending process
For every step in the programming process the user can choose an automatic or an interactive function:
Bend sequencing
Tool and setup selection
Finger stop positioning
