SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Basic hardware: IBM PC, XT, AT, or 386 or any compatible clone with
either a hard disk drive and at least one 360K floppy, or with two 360K
floppies.
Printer: Spacing has been set to print out on a standard 8.50" x 11.00"
tractor feed sheets. Set up for Epson emulation.
Turn [Cap Lock] on, Input is UPPER CASE sensitive!
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
This program requires either MS or PC Dos, level 2.10 or higher.
GO.BAT To start program preceded by instructions.
BEND.EXE Main executable program.
BEND.MAT Sequential file for storing material information.
BEND.TXT Manual in screen display format (This file).
BEND.DOC Manual in printer format for paging.
GETTING STARTED
C:\> MD BEND [Return] Create a new directory.
C:\> CD BEND [Return] Move to new directory.
C:\BEND> COPY A:*.* C: Copy the contents of disk
to new directory.
C:\BEND\ BEND [Return] This is the main program
name that will start the
BEND ALLOWANCE program.
USING WITH AutoCAD
C: COPY A:*.* C:\ACAD Copy the entire disk into the
AutoCAD directory.
To access the program from within AutoCAD, enter the [SHELL] command at
the command prompt. Enter [BEND] at the Dos prompt.
To return to the AutoCAD screen, hit [F1].
OPERATING BEND ALLOWANCE
1. Enter [1] to start.
2. Pick the material the part is to be made from by item #.
3. Enter the number of cross-sections to process for this part.
4. Enter the number of bends for the cross-section at the prompt.
5. All flanges or legs are to be entered in their finished formed
overall size. (Outside to outside)
6. The default angle is 90 degrees. Enter the actual number of degrees
that the part will be formed. 180 degrees equals a full hairpin
hemm.
7. The default radius is .0312". Enter the desired inside radius.
8. Enter (Y/N) prompts in upper case.
NOTES
1. Machine Form: The actual center line of the die.
2. Standard Bend: The material between bends not affected by the forming
radius.
3. Machine Allowance: The material actually involved in the form.
UPDATING MATERIAL FILE
1. Enter [2] to revise or add to Material File.
2. Enter the item number of material to edit.
3. Enter the line number of data to edit. Remember to enter cost in
dollars per square foot and weight in pounds per square foot.
4. Enter [5] to return to Material list and hit [RETURN] if completed.

Concerned about establishing Standards Hours for your Sheet Metal operations?
Looking for consistency in your sheet metal costing and estimating?
Want to project machine and manpower utilization?
Want to roll up material requirements and costs by release?
Permit me to introduce the "Sheet Metal Job Shop Manager".

╚═══════════════════════════════════╝
This stand alone computer program will:
1. Computes bend allowances.
2. Provide standard operational times for:
a. Shears
b. Deburring
c. Numerical Control Punch
d. Machine notch, punch, or embossing
e. Machine forming
3. Maintains individual burden rates for the above operations.
4. Allows for a variable productivity rate.
5. Will maintain information on up to 180 different types of
sheet or coil stock.
6. Will maintain a data base of over 3200 parts in a single file.
7. Will print out the entire data base in alfanumerical order
using the latest costs as maintained in the materials file,
the latest burden rates and direct labor rates. Ideal for
year end inventory costing.
8. Will produce a production report, using a "Bill of Material",
that will roll up the operational times and costs needed for
Manpower planning, and will provide a recap of all the sheet
metal required for the production release. A total cost for
the release will also be computed.
9. Will generate and print a basic "Process Sheet" that list the
estimated set up time and operation time for each part being
released against a "Bill of Material".
10. Allows for easy editing of a part once it is entered into the
DATA base.
11. Can be set up to operate off a hard disk drive, or will
operate directly from a floppy disk, or the program can be
operated form a hard disk and the data base will be maintained
on a floppy. The latter approach enables the user to isolate
DATA bases for separate customers or divisions.
12. Is password protected.

The cost of the package is $350.00. This is less than the cost of
attempting to establish and set up basic costing using a spread sheet.
