Programming
• Drag & Draw programming technology allows the operator to create a part simply by touching and dragging their finger on the 22″ control monitor.
• By literally drawing a part “live” with actual dimensions and angles to scale, no other programming or adjustments are needed.
• Should changes be required from the drawing, clearly marked “hot” buttons guide the operator for sketching, dimensioning, and sequencing.
• Swipe technology controls the graphics and screen content instantly
BACKGAUGE
The backgauge boasts 12 hardened finger stops warranted for the life of the machine. This means no flimsy feather fingers to get damaged, therefore the operator can work at full speed. The backgauge is driven by two 1.25” dual drive ball screws guided by two 1.50” Thompson rails, to insure the backgauge stays parallel. What this means is that the backgauge can take a pounding and remain parallel and accurate much longer than the plastic belts or single tiny ball screws of competitors. Not only is the backgauge the most rugged in the architectural sheet metal market, it is the most flexible with backgauge pans that slide front to back. This allows you to use the free space behind the clamping beam for making a gutter with a drip edge or complicated parts.
FOLDING BEAM
Laminated, reinforced, solid folding beam – by design is a much stiffer beam, which allows minimum deflection. Flat folding beam in front of machine – when forming a part that is hitting the front of the folding beam, you need to have a flat beam. If the beam sticks out, you will need two men to push the part against the gauge while forming a 10′ part. Also, if spring steel fingers are used, two men are needed to hold the part against the spring steel gauge fingers. Small folding beam – The operator does not have to step in and out from the folding beam while forming (two-step-dance). Small lower beam width – 2.625″ wide, enables you to gauge closer to bend line, while having a hem and a kick against the gauge
