- Capacity from 1.5mm to 7mm diameter and up to 3 metres long.
- 10 programmable bending speeds, up to 0.05 seconds for 180 degrees.
- Repeatability on bend angles +/- 0.05 degrees.
- Variable carriage speeds up to 80 metres a minute, with positional tolerance of 0.01mm from datumn.
- Clamp unit allows 360 degrees rotation of wire with 10 programmable speeds up to 0.02 seconds for 90 degrees.
- Simple touch-screen programming with three-dimensional graphics.
- Animated icons.
- CAD co-ordinate input to generate bend program automatically.
