Programming the CoastOne C-Series with PNBend

PNBend is WiCAM’s manufacturer-independent bending simulation software for the offline programming of press brakes. It enables bending programmes to be created centrally during work preparation and adapted for use on different machines and control systems. It supports press brakes from various manufacturers, including machines from the CoastOne C-Series, as shown in this video:

The software supports the entire programming process. This includes determining suitable bending sequences, selecting appropriate tools and carrying out a feasibility check on the component. Even before production begins, it is possible to check whether a component can be manufactured using the intended machine, tooling and bending sequence.

Another key component is the development of the component. PNBend can generate the development required for production, taking into account the relevant allowance values. This allows practical blanking patterns to be derived based on the subsequent bending process and transferred directly into the digital manufacturing process.

PNBend enables centralised and manufacturer-independent offline programming of press brakes. The appropriate NC texts and control-specific programmes are generated for the respective press brakes. This means that different press brakes from manufacturers such as TRUMPF, Bystronic, LVD, SafanDarley, Prima Power, Durma or CoastOne can be programmed via a single central software package.

PNBend at a glance

• Manufacturer-independent offline programming of press brakes
• Feasibility check prior to production
• Determination and optimisation of bending sequences
• Tool selection and tool planning
• Collision checking during programming
• Unfolding with the appropriate offset values
• Generation of machine- and control-specific NC texts
• Centralised programming of different press brakes
• Shifting programming from the machine to the work preparation stage

With PNBend, the programming of press brakes can be standardised and efficiently integrated into the digital manufacturing process.
