Easy to use touch screen control for LVD press brakes May 2008
 
Superseding LVD’s most successful CADMAN CNC control with over 2,500 units sold, CADMAN Touch will be used on all PPEB and Easy-Form series press brakes.

CADMAN Touch features an easy to use, intuitive user interface to minimise input to the control, allowing the user to move from drawing to completed part in fewer steps. The highly reliable IR touch screen technology used is a robust industrial design, successfully used in other LVD bending and shearing equipment.

CADMAN Touch works with LVD’s integrated ‘intelligent’ bending database and on board LVD CADMAN-B 3D (bending) software, creating and storing interactive integrated databases for bend allowance, angle corrections and spring-back. These user-generated databases, created by actual bending results, are searched and applied each time a part program is generated enabling the control to ‘learn’ the optimal bending parameters for the given environment. This automatic optimisation of the part program eliminates trial bending, and reduces the time required to produce a quality part.
