Assign Add to Favorites Products Font Size: Fabricating/Press Brakes July 2008 | LVD Strippit's latest development in press brake control technology is the CADMAN Touch, designed to simplify the ‘Art to Part’ process and minimize the operator's input to achieve the correct bent part. CADMAN Touch will be used on all PPEB and Easy-Form series press brakes. Employing the latest in infrared touch screen technology running on a Windows XP embedded PC based control unit, CADMAN Touch combines the power of the latest generation CNC control with the speed and simplicity of a touch screen programming system. It features an easy-to-use, intuitive user interface to minimize input to the control, allowing the user to move from drawing to completed part in fewer steps. The IR touch screen technology is a robust industrial design, used in other LVD bending and shearing equipment. CADMAN Touch works with LVD’s integrated ‘intelligent’ bending database and on board LVD CADMAN-B 3D (bending) software, creating and storing interactive integrated databases for bend allowance, angle corrections and spring-back. These user-generated databases, created by actual bending results, are searched and applied each time a part program is generated enabling the control to ‘learn’ the optimal bending parameters for the given environment. Press brakes equipped with the CADMAN Touch control also feature a ‘jog’ button on the foot pedal, allowing the operator to ‘jog’ individual axes of the machine for fine adjustments. CADMAN Touch provides 3D graphical simulation of the bending solution, which can be viewed by the operator for part familiarization prior to and during bending. It also allows the operator to see a graphical representation of the tool set up, facilitating faster set up times. Programming directly at the control is also fast and easy, as 2D part profiles can be easily generated directly via CADMAN Touch’s intuitive icon driven programming system. CADMAN Touch also permits 2D and 3D files to be input directly at the machine control, eliminating the need for offline simulation and programming. www.lvdgroup.com Product Archives privacy || home || contact us || rogers publishing limited
