Workstation software package for offline programming:
A PC-based program that allows you to create bend programs remotely for use on your Pines bender. All data entry can be accomplished in the front office, freeing up machine time for production. Parts can then be stored to a shared drive for immediate access by the bending machine.
Workstation software features:
- Part program entry from XYZ or YBC data
- Part program data conversion to or from XYZ or YBC
- Part program data conversion to or from absolute or incremental
- Part program storage on hard disk or USB memory stick
- Part program reversal and mirror image conversions
- Graphic display of the part with ability to rotate in any direction
- Pines software package complete (no hardware supplied)
Optional production monitoring software:
The production monitoring add-on allows you to track operation of the bender in real time. The software generates multiple files in CRV format to monitor the machine's work history from a production control standpoint. The CRV files can be easily imported into Excel or your own database for data analysis.
Production monitoring software features:
- Review history of both the parts being produced and the bender history
- Record the production history of a single part being produced on one or more benders (multiple benders must share a common part storage area)
- Record the production history of all parts produced on a single bender
- Information available for review from average production time per job or shift to detailed time for every completed part
- Information is saved in a format that can be imported to most databases and spreadsheets
- Real-time bender monitoring from a remote PC (requires customer supplied network able to access the bender’s hard drive)
E840D CNC Control
Pines electric CNC machines are operated by the E840D control. It features a PC-based interface and a Siemens 840D 10-axis CNC control. The interface allows for the same, easy, user-friendly operation and programming one has come to expect from a Pines bender. The PC allows for easy networking with measuring machines, CAD systems, and company servers.
Safety-integrated control is programable and allows for monitoring safety devices in real time
