The bending operator has always depended on guesswork to calculate bend options from a part and orthographic drawings. Entering tool selection, bend sequence a part, staging layouts and other processes steal valuable operation hours, and incorrect setups may require restarting from scratch. This results in an 80% set-up time with 20% left for processing parts. VPSS3i Bend is your Automated Bending Expert, interpreting unfold data for bend simulation and set-up generation. There is no tool more useful for reducing bend set-up time.
