1. The following demo demonstrates features and benefits of the Fasfold CNC controller when retrofitted to a new or used Pressbrake. It can be retrofitted to Nut stop as well as Hydraulic stop machines from 1 to 4 axis It can utilize AC or DC servo control There are 39 slides Use the left mouse click to go to the next slide. Use the Backspace key to go to the previous slide. You can also run the actual Fasfold program from your desktop. It uses a 15 “color touch screen which makes it lightning fast to alter or enter things.

3. Press here for the start of the profile

4. Press here for the First dimension

5. Then here for the first bend

6. Then here for the second bend The grid size can Be changed here

7. Then here for the third bend Undo the last bend with this button

8. Then here for the forth bend

9. Then here for the fifth bend

10. Use the draw/Edit button To modify the profile Press here Then here to move the corner out here

11. Press OK to return to Main screen

13. Press second Press first Press last Then press OK

14. This is the bend sequence for this job - 12543

15. The bend sequence can Also be set manually By using this button

16. By pressing collusions Bend sequence can be set Automatically to avoid collusions This is the 5th fold done third

17. This is the 4th fold done forth By touching the numbers below you can step through the folds quickly without material or time waste Each fold can be simulated and inspected

18. It is quick to work out the fastest method by changing sequence or Folding from rear rather than front of material This is the 3rd fold done last

19. The dimensions and angles can also be fine tuned here

20. The Job name button is used to enter a new name

21. Alphanumeric names can be given

22. Use Open and Save to save or open Jobs from the Library

23. Use these to scroll to the next/previous page Select the appropriate Job by pressing on it

24. -Sign indicates bend is done from the back of the material Angle Trim value The job opens with ALL relevant data – Bend Sequence, Right tool & Die, correct V, Material thickness and width, which bends was done inserting material from the back etc.

25. Blue (-) indicates fold done from the bottom Blue (-) indicates fold done from the back

26. Press on the DIE to go to the Die screen

27. Draw up a new Die by entering the first V Width on the left, Then the angle in this column, Then which side it is on 1,2,3 or 4, Then the distance from the edge Then the height, width and tool name You can also press open to select a Die previously saved Finally press save to store it in the library
