Old 2D data is often inaccurate and incomplete, but with AutoPOLs unique methods those limitations are overcome. The modern concept of AutoPOL is based on the use of accurate 3D models, and therefore this converter covers the need to lift “old school” 2D data into accurate 3D. …is a tool to take 2D files, such as DXF and DWG, and convert them to 3D files that can be used by AutoPOL. If doing it manually is preferred, just select the bends and click bend… 2D Converter… It is also often used to see if the part can be bent at all or if special tooling is needed. As solutions are presented, they are ranked according to the search criterias defined by the user. …is often used to find an optimal sequence in order to be as productive as possible. Here you can see a list of supported file formats. In the unlikely event of not supporting its native format, several neutral file formats are available. There are many technical features that assist the user througout the simulation process. Throughout the whole process the user can get help selecting tools, calculating an optimal bend sequence, positioning back gauges, making efficient tool set-ups etc. More helpful back gauging, smart auto-sequencing and optimized set-ups are examples where AutoPOL can help you create programs with shorter cycle times.Īll of the above benefits are achieved through the use of advanced, but still easy to use, functionality built into the software. With smart and highly visual interface it is easy to create more efficient programs. Finding out in “mid-production” costs a lot of money… Optimize production Thanks to off-line programming you can discover and avoid potential manufacturing problems before the part is taken into production.

Get the first piece right!!! Validate productivity With extremely accurate flat pattern calculation, due to AutoPOLs unique methods, initial scrap parts are heavily reduced. With well documented and clear production reports, machine preparation and tool rigging is more efficient. Programming off-line does not only help you avoid down time, it is also faster.

Instead of occupying the machine when programming on the controller, you produce parts while new programs are created on a PC. The main areas where you benefit are: Drastic reduction of machine down time Programming a press brake off-line gives many advantages regarding productivity and economy. AutoPOL BendSim is a modern 3D software solution for off-line programming of press brakes.
