Video programming control for pressbrakes

Selectra CNV/GRAF graphical control is structured around an LCD industrial PC. The high resolution color graphics display is used for visual parts programming. During part bending each step is presented on the screen. Step by step question and answer programming with the use of icons make Selectra controls easy to understand and above all simple to use. CNV uses the arrow keys to generate the profile required. Then the system will calculate the bending sequence, bend allowance, blank size and tonnage. A simulation can then be run, accept the simulation and you are in production.
