Robotic bending

Many of the settings on this panel are the same as for manual press brakes, and they are explained in the page on Editing a Bend. The robotic bending process has several additional settings and controls that have their own panels.

The image above shows some of the additional panels that can be accessed from the Bend panel to configure the added functionality of the BendMaster.

The Robot Strategy link takes you to the Strategy panel where you have more precise control over the processing strategy for different phases of each bending operation.
- The Part Insertion
- The actual Bending process
- The Part Extraction
The Waypoints link takes you to the Waypoints panel where you can have precise control over the robot trajectory during the bending process^[1].
The RG-Stations link takes you to the Regrip Stations panel, where you can configure the position of the regrip stations during this bending cycle^[2].

1. The goal of Flux is to minimize the need for you to have to micro-manage the robot trajectory with the Waypoints panel. However, there are rare situations where it becomes necessary.

2. This is rarely needed, except when you are handling very large parts or using a large gripper, and need to move the regrip station out of the way to prevent a collision.
