This parameter allows defining the counting mode of the part counter. When set to 

up

, the 

counter will count up to the desired number. When set to 

down

, the counter will count 

from the desired number down to 0.  

 
 

The counter stops the cycle when total is reached. 
The value of the counter is automatically memorized when the numerical 
control is shut down. 

 
 
 
 

This function allows choosing the data entry mode for the back gauge on the Bend 
Numerical Page or EasyBend Page. When set to 

yes

, the length of the flange icon 

 is 

displayed by default. When set to no, the icon for the position in mm of the back gauge 

 is displayed. 

 
When set to 

never

, the position of the back gauge is no longer linked to the bending 

angle, i.e. the position is never recalculated when the bending angle is modified. 
 

The default value for this preference is 

never

. Note that completely formatting 

the machine will reset this preference to its default value. 
The 

 mode is not available for graphical parts (see 

also Set point back 

gauge (X axis) / flange length

). 

 
 
 
 

This parameter controls the recalculation of the axes position values when a part 
is loaded. It is useful when there is a possibility that something has changed, like 
dimensions of tools or back gauge, since the last time the program was run. 
The default value for this parameter is 

no

 
 

Corrections remain the same. We emphasize again the good practice of using 
corrections (se

Bending and Corrections

to fine tune a program. In 

this case, even if modifications have happened, the part will be recalculated and 
properly bent.
