We have
thoroughly
tested

the
documentation.
In order
to improve
both
the
software and the
manual,
we would
be
most
grateful for
notifying
us
possible inconveniences
using the
control and
I or the

We constantly
improve
our

from
the
fonts and symbols
used
in
the
manual.
The
features of
the

may
differ from

About
tilt
On the
hydraulic
press-brakes,
it
is
possible to
obtain
a different
depth
on the
cylinders.
Therefore
you
can
program
a
tilt-value.
Tilt
is
the
difference
in
depth
for
the
right
cylinder
compared to
the
left one.
The
amount
of
tilt
is
the
distance
that
one
cylinder
has
to
stay
above
the
programmed
depth.
This can
be
a
negative
or
a
positive
value.
A
negative value
will
make the
left
cylinder
reach
for
the
programmed
depth
while
the
right
one
stays
above
it.
A
positive
value
will
make
the
right
cylinder
reach
for
the
programmed
depth
while
the
left
one
stays
above
it.
