Press Brake Bend Simulation Software

 AutoPOL Bend Simulator is a modern 3D software solution for off-line programming of press brakes. AutoPOL is a JETCAM partner and there is a direct interface between JETCAM and AutoPOL free-of-charge to JETCAM customers.

Programming a press brake off-line provides many advantages regarding productivity and economy.  The main benefit:

• Drastic reduction of machine down time - Instead of occupying the machine when programming of the controller, you produce parts while new programs are created on a PC.
• Reduced programming time - Programming off-line does not only help you avoid down time, it is also faster.
• Quicker machine setup- with well documented and clear production reports, machine preparation and tool rigging is more efficient.
• Less scrap - With extremely accurate flat pattern calculation, due to AutoPOL's unique methods, initial scrap parts are heavily reduced.  Get the first piece right!!
• Validate productivity- With off-line programming you can discover and avoid potential manufacturing problems before the part is taken into production.  Finding out in "mid-production" costs a lot of money...
• Optimize production- With smart and highly visual interface it is easy to create more efficient programs.  More helpful back gauging, smart auto-sequencing and optimized set-ups are examples where AutoPOL can help create programs with shorter cycle times.
• Supports many press brake controls including Accurpress, Cybelec, Cincinnati, and many more

All the above benefits are achieved through the use of advanced, but still easy to use, functionality built into the software.  Throughout the process the user can get help selecting tools, calculating an optimal bend sequence, positioning back gauges, and making efficient tool setups etc.
