Line up the Templates

The templates have 2 calibration lines on them. One is for rotation alignment and the other is for location down the tube.

Cutting1.jpg

There are 3 different setups for the templates:

Straight tube, one end cut

Straight tube, both ends cut

Bent tube, either end cut

1) Straight Tube, One End Cut:

Cutting2.jpg

There is no rotary line up (blue line up line) and the location calibration (red line) needs to be placed the distance labeled from the opposite end. [21 3/16 in our case]

Cutting3.jpg

2) Straight Tube, Both Ends Cut:

Cutting4.jpg

NOTE: The above pic shows cutting on both ends of the tube in the same picture. This is shown in the software as one end at a time.

Line the rotary lines down the tube (blue line) and the location calibration (red line) needs to be placed at the distanced labeled from each other. [19 9/16 in our case]

Cutting5.jpg

3) Bent Tube, Either End Cut:

Cutting6.jpg

Line the rotary line with the out-most radius of the arc as shown in the following picture. The location line will depend on the check-box value of "Distance to Perp of Bend".

If it is Distance to Perp is checked then you will come off of the Perp (apex for bends under 90 degrees) for the location line as shown in the following pic.

If Distance to Perp is not checked, it will be Distance to end. You will come off the end of the tube as shown in the next pic.

-'''How To Use Cutting Wrappers'''
+== '''Intro''' ==
-The wrappers have 2 calibration lines on them. One is for rotation alignment and the other is for location down the tube.
+Once an assembly is designed in the Bend-Tech software, cutting wrappers can be printed for each end cut.
-[[File:Cutting1.jpg]]
+Navigate to the <CUTTING TAB>. Select the part you want to print a wrapper for and click <PRINT> to print wrappers for the selected end cut or click <PRINT ALL> to print wrappers for all the end cuts.
-There are 3 different setups for the templates:
+There are three types of Cut Wrappers.
-'''Straight tube, one end cut'''
+Cut Wrappers are printed with a red Location Line and a blue Rotation Line. Bend Cut Wrappers will include arrow marks that point towards the scrap material.
-'''Bent tube, either end cut'''
+== '''Straight Tube – one end cut''' ==
-'''1: Straight Tube, One End Cut:'''
+The Rotation Line (blue) is not used for this style of wrapper.

-There is no rotary line up (blue line up line) and the location calibration (red line) needs to be placed the distance labeled from the opposite end. [21 3/16 in our case]
+== '''Straight Tube – both ends cut''' ==
-[[File:Cutting3.jpg]]
+Each cut wrapper will have two measurements. The first measurement is the distance to the Location (red) line of the second wrapper. The second measurement is the distance to from the end of the tube.
-'''2: Straight Tube, Both Ends Cut:'''
+== '''Bent Part - either end cut''' ==
-[[File:Cutting4.jpg]]
+Bend cut wrappers contain one or more wrappers and a Distance Along Bend printout. Bend cut wrappers with multiple cut path wrappers are applied in numerical order outwards from the distance mark. The number of wrappers used for a cut is calculated from the Bend Degrees per Chunk. To change this value, click <DETAILS> and enter the new number. By default, this is set to 10 degrees per Chunk (or wrapper). A lower number is useful for large radius bends. Bend-Tech does not recommend increasing this number above 10 degrees.
-'''NOTE: The above pic shows cutting on both ends of the tube in the same picture. This is shown in the software as one end at a time.'''
+Tape the Distance Along Bend printout along the outside radius (arc) of the bend. The Start Cut distance is measured from the end of the bend, and the End Cut distance is measured from the start of the bend.
-Line the rotary lines down the tube (blue line) and the location calibration (red line) needs to be placed at the distanced labeled from each other. [19 9/16 in our case]
+Apply the cut wrappers at the end of the distance print out. Ensure the Rotation (blue) lines are aligned. Position the wrappers so that the arrows point towards the scrap material.
