Press brake tutorial: how to create a workstation

SET UP A WORK STATION FOR IMMEDIATE CALCULATION OF Z AND BENDS.

A few simple steps to create a CNC workstation on a VICLA® press brake.

In this short video tutorial we’ll show you how the operator can quickly and easily create one or more workstations by programming on the CNC.

  1. First, access the "Tools" menu and enter the tool name and the tooling values of the punch and die (initial quantity and length).
  2. The position of the tools on the press brake is now established and work station n°1 is created. To set station n°2 just repeat the steps.
  3. At this point you can calculate the Z value and set, for example, bend n°1 on station n°1 and bend n°2 on station n°2.
  4. In this way you obtain 2 different values of Z.
