Bendmaster is the software to interconnect the multiple Opton benders in shop for the total and centralized management by exchange and instruction of machining data.
In the conventional management style, machining data are handled and saved in each production machine, causing troublesome data control and management needed for machining of varied and/or repeated specifications.Equipments and media for data storage often get periodically deteriorated amid the fear of data loss at the end.

Bendmaster allows the machining data exchange between a PC in office and benders in shop.The machining data in the PC are forwarded to the bender in shop, and the finally verified data from successful part are uploaded to the PC in office. Total and centralized data management is now the reality.

Production data storage in server or external HD enhances safety of data storage.

Bar-code reader is optional to this software that allows reading of part ID for easier production management.
Customized requirement may be designed to meet client production management demand.

１） Data compilation including creation and modification is worked in a PC for machining data including XYZ (coordination data), PRB (bending data converted from XYZ data) and other data.

The image of bend is displayed on the screen upon automatic translation of XYZ data of a part.

Ｘ－Ｚ、Ｘ－Ｚ
Two display types are alternatively available for the bend image by switching on the screen.
One is a single-view indication, and the other is four-directional view indication as shown below that are configured by different combination of coordinations of;
Ｘ－Ｚ、Ｙ－Ｚ

This optional function is needed to read the XYZ data that are calculated from the CAD data of a part drawing.
With the help of Optional Data Input in Excel Format, intermediate data compilation is executed after reading of the XYZ data in the Opton-designed Excel format. The input data are [XYZ Data] [Product Name] and [Bending R]
Optional Data Output in Excel Format translates the stored intermediate data to put out [machining data] [XYZ data] [PRB data] [PRB compensation data] [Bend characteristic data] and [Elongation characteristic data]

For communication with the benders of all Opton's models, two types of communication modes are available, Serial type(RS232C/RS422) or LAN type.
Interfacing with server in client premises is of LAN mode. (Interfacing with server is optional.) 

Instructive production data (including part number and production quantity required) are read in from the bar-code of a part. Corresponding PRB data are automatically selected for the part number. This option is custom-designed to the client bar-code specification.
