Sequencing

MBend

MBend enables manual selection or automatic calculation of bend sequencing.

MBend automatic sequence setting capabilities:

Calculation of a collision-free sequence for any number of bends
Optimized tool station setup calculation based on tool segment availability
Intelligent tool segment distribution and clamping
Heel tools for overhanging flanges
Tool rotation (when possible) to avoid part rotations
Hit splitting to avoid holder and table collisions
Hemming bends
Divide and merge tools for collinear (in-line) bends

After tool selection, MBend can automatically calculate bend sequences, based on different properties of the hits. You can choose the sequence that meets your requirements.

MBend calculates collision-free bending solutions that are ready for production, ensuring the machine operator does not waste time and material on trial runs.

If a collision-free bending sequence exists, MBend can find it.

Manual Sequencing in 3D

MBend enables full manual control of bending sequences:

Set the bend sequence by folding the bends into the finished product
Split bends into partial bends to avoid collisions
Change sequences by dragging and dropping single and multiple bends into the order you want
Use heels/horns
Rotate the part or the tools
