UpDownCenter-2 Software 1-click programming

UpDownCenter-2 Software

1-click programming

The UpDownCenter-2 Software has been created specifically for the UpDownCenter-2.

Create a part program automatically.
Import a STEP, DXF or GEO file with the part geometry.
The software analyzes the STEP file and automatically generates a 3D model. For DXF files, the programmer has to add to the bend angle.

The software programs the bending sequence automatically with a single mouse click!
If there are different folding sequences (fold short side before long side or vice versa), the software shows a ranking of the alternatives.
The automatically create program also includes handling operations and the tool setup.
A 3D program simulation shows in detail how the part will be created.
The program gets to the machine via network or USB memory stick

You can store profiles in individual categories (eg sorted by customer name, project, profile name or article)
All categories are clearly arranged. One mouse click and the profile is ready for production.

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 upper beam tools implemented
New folding beam tools implemented
Machine model implemented for 500mm high upper beam tools
Bug Fix, bend radii are no longer shown
User interface customized
during STEP import the material thicknesses valid for the machine are requested and not imported if exceeded or fallen short of
Dialog entry point moved and implemented in the job list
User modes implemented for different use cases
Selection for loading options implemented on the outer edges
Import category implemented in profile archive

Improved GEO file import for:
Bend line detection
Bending radius related to the material thickness
Recognition of hems
Improved user guidance: Select material in STEP import
Generation of unfolded dimensions or evaluation of bending lines
In case of negative hems, the folding beam adjustment moves to exact position
Improvements in the tool menu
Optimized setup of the folding beam tools with limited number
Selection menu: Bending radii more than twice the material thickness, can be made as "normal" bend or radius step bend
Improved calculation for radius step bending

Improved GEO file import for:
interrupted bending lines
Radii depending on sheet thickness
Hems
The beams where a tool change will be made within the program cycle will be shown graphically
Manual changes of the bending sequence enabled
The tool menu shows the max. sheet thickness of the tools
Error corrections:
In some situations machine stop with max. sheet thickness
In certain cases wrong calculation of unfolded blank dimensions
Tool configurations were not updated on power-up
Preset dimensions of the blank are set correctly

Length correction considers the use of the front suction cups
Allowed protrusion of flanges beyond the bending line is calculated in relation to the sheet thickness
Selection of part base after a STEP file import is implemented
Bending strategies with SnapTools are calculated as soon as SnapTools are selected in the tool menu
Flange lengths in the correction menu are shown for each bend
Length corrections for flanges increased from 10 to 20 mm
Individual flanges can be deleted after file import
Collision calculation considers increased free space for machine cladding
Web server: Retrieval of bent jobs with time stamp possible (max. 1 hr)
New upper beam tools implemented

Collision indication fixed when using the front stop
Improved strategy for setting up the folding beam tools together the UpDownTools
Reduced speed of the suction table selectable
Simultaneous movement of folding beam adjustment and suction table
Part correction: selected flanges are color-coded
Possibility to delete single flanges after STEP import
Program start implemented in each bending line
New upper beam tools implemented

On machine configurations with a safety light beam at the folding beam side, bent parts can also be unloaded from the folding beam side
Reduced folding beam speed can be selected for each bend
New UpDownTools implemented
Collisions between UpDownTools and pre-bent flanges avoided
Material tables implemented for radius step bending
When step bending a radius material expansion is compensated
The hemming position is calculated based on the upper beam tool geometry
New upper beam tools implemented
New folding beam tools implemented
Tool management changed for upper and folding beam tools
