Automate Programming of Press Brakes, Panel Benders & Robotic Folders

The Global Edge Engineering Assistant includes functionality to automate the programming of your bending machine tools. This process starts with the capability to automatically analyze your 3D Sheet Metal CAD Models and store the part parameters in a database. During the Sheet Metal part analysis, the Global Edge Engineering Assistant compares the part parameters with Bending Processes that include the parameters of your various bending machine tools. This provides the necessary information to generate DXF Flat Files that includes Extended Data to facilitate "Automated Bend Program Generation". These Extended Data DXF Flat Files provide the necessary information for CAM Bending Software to automatically generate CAM Bending Programs with information that includes:
  • Material / Thickness
  • Bend Radius
  • Bend Lengths / Angles
  • PEM Hole Sizes / Locations
  • Cutouts / Embossments / Louvers
  • Machine Tool Bend Processes
