Software versions

Have you signed a software update agreement?

This allows you to update your Machine and Office Software to the next level.

Includes free Machine software updates
Includes free Office software updates
Machine software and Office software versions must match
For updates of additionally purchased Office licenses, the update packages for subsequent licenses are required
Online connection to the PC must be available

What do I need to do?
Please contact RAS. After checking the data, we will contact you. We need the following information:

New folding beam tools implemented
New upper beam tools implemented
Front stop at oblique edges
Improved gauging strategies for complex bending strategies
Calculation of the folding beam and pivot point adjustment, depending on the bend radius instead of the sheet thickness (lower limit 1 x sheet thickness)
Collisions considered between suction table and ToolCover during unloading
Automatic foot switch display updated

Program start possible at any blank referencing situation
Program exit possible after a side of the part is completed
Additional folding strategies with front suction cups
Additional folding strategies with optional suction cups. Used for small parts with a base dimension of 300 x 200 mm*
Function changes speed up the overall process
Machine data logging implemented
Additional 350 mm upper beam tool height implemented

* For these part dimensions a special upper beam center tool is required

Folding strategies include programs with 180 degree rotated folding beam tools
Import of profile cross-sections
Center bend line as the default setting for STEP import
Turkish language
Visual/dynamic graphic adaptation when changing the hem height
Bends on one line will be executed all together
Modification of the rectangular base and flange height will not result in new programming
Improved strategy for the closing and opening of the safety screen
STEP import of too small radii are always adjusted to 1x sheet thickness

Software can import and program closed profiles
Pre-bend angle for hemming with heel of the upper beam tool implemented
Select when a profile is to be closed: program end, end of part side, in program sequence
UpDownTool sequences improved
16 mm folding beam tool implemented
STEP import shows design mistakes (red colour)
Improved folding strategies
If loading or storing takes unexpectedly long an hourglass is shown (eg slow network speed)

Folding beam height axis can be set inclined to compensate for angle differences from left to right
Speed increase on step bending sequences
Material tables will be linked to a programs after folding strategy selection

STEP import of parts with intersecting bend lines
Import of STEP files in inch dimensions: If the software cannot clearly identify the dimension, a prompt appears.
Technology tables of the machine can be loaded into the Office software version with overwriting dialogue
Scaling Wizard for corrected CAD File units
Step bending: max. sheet thickness and step length as a parameter for the bend angle limit
Step bending: Soft start and end of the radius
Max overbend angle in the correction menu limited to max angle
9mm folding beam tool added to tool library

Parameter for the lifting negative hems. The hem height is calculated. This parameter will be added to the calculation to eventually compensate hanging down material or material springback.

Integration of step bending sequence with parameter for min bend angle and parameter for min step dimension
Note: Step bending is based on pure mathematical calculations

Note: Hardware requirements (also for all subsequent updates needed)

Automatic quaring arm
Triggering color LEDs for access control into safety area
Third monitor in folding cell (setup instruction for folding beam and UpDownTools)
