Standard machines are controlled by means of a push button board that allows the variation of the position of the bending rolls and by a pedal that control the advance and retreat of the profile.
Depending on the deformation work to be performed, numerous additional controls are available like, for example, the hydraulic regulation of the lateral guide rolls, the speed regulation by means of a potentiometer, the double speed positioning of the bending rolls and the remote control of the special tooling.
In case a high repeatability is required or if particular bending geometries must be achieved, the machines are equipped with programmable positioner (NC), numerical controls with independent axes and numerical controls with interpolated axes (CNC).
