If you are looking to better organize bending sequences, review angle data, or create a new program efficiently, understanding the ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask is essential. The ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask allows you to view all bends in a structured list, quickly access bend parameters, and manage program data in a clear and centralized interface. Whether you need to enter the bend summary, modify existing bend information, or create a new program from scratch, mastering the ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask will significantly improve programming accuracy and workflow efficiency. In this article, I will clearly explain how to enter the ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask, how to use it correctly, and how to create a new program step by step.

Introduction

The ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask is a structured table interface that allows operators to simultaneously view all bends within the current programme. Instead of reviewing bends one by one, the Bend Summary Mask displays every bend in column format, making it easier to compare angles, axis positions, and section data in a single screen.

In the Bend Summary Mask, each column represents one bend in the programme, while each row corresponds to a specific parameter such as angle, axis position, or related bend data. The heading of each column shows the progressive bend number, allowing quick identification of the sequence. The first column on the left describes the parameter type for each row. The currently selected value is highlighted in yellow, ensuring clear visibility during editing.

The Bend Summary Mask also displays important contextual information, including:

• The name of the active programme
• The selected bend number compared to total bends in the current section
• The current section number compared to total sections in the programme
• The function key [New Program]
• The function key [Change Section]

Because the Bend Summary Mask centralizes all bending data, it is especially useful when working with complex multi-bend and multi-section programmes.

How to Enter Bend Summary Mask Step by Step

Accessing the ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask is simple and requires only a few steps from the Settings interface.

Step 1: Open the Settings Menu

From the Settings mask, press the menu key to display available options.

Step 2: Select Bend Summary

Select the item Bend Summary (8) from the list. The ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask will open immediately.

Once inside the Bend Summary Mask, you can begin reviewing or modifying bend data directly in table form.

How to Navigate and Modify Data

The ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask provides flexible navigation tools to move across bends and parameters.

Shifting the Selection Between Bends

To move from one bend to another inside the Bend Summary Mask:

• Use the navigation keys to move left or right between columns.
• If you press the forward key while positioned on the last bend, a new bend will automatically be added at the end of the queue.

If not all bends are visible width-wise, continue shifting right to scroll hidden columns into view. Similarly, if the monitor cannot display all parameter rows vertically, scroll upward or downward to access hidden rows.

This dynamic scrolling ensures the Bend Summary Mask can handle programmes with a large number of bends.

Changing a Parameter Value

To modify a value in the ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask:

1. Move the selection to the desired cell.
2. Enter the new value.
3. Press the ENTER key to confirm.

The updated value will be stored immediately in the programme. This direct editing capability eliminates the need to return to the Settings mask for most parameter changes.

How to Change Sections

The ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask supports multi-section programme management.

To move the selection to the first bend of the next section:

• Press the [Change Section] key.

If the current section is already the last section in the programme, pressing [Change Section] will automatically create a new section. This makes the ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask particularly efficient for programming parts with sequential bending stages.

How to Create a New Programme

One of the most powerful features of the ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask is the ability to create a new numeric programme directly from this interface.

Step 1: Press New Program

Inside the ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask, press the [New Program] key. A general data window will appear.

Step 2: Enter General Programme Data

You must enter the following information:

• Sheet width
• Sheet thickness
• Material resistance
• Die selection (must already be drawn)
• Die cavity number
• Punch selection (must already be drawn)

Material resistance values follow these general regulations:

• Aluminium: 0–30
• Sheet metal: 31–50 (ideal value 42)
• Stainless steel: more than 50

The system automatically calculates the material category based on the resistance entered.

If default bend data are enabled in the Settings mask, the general data window will not appear. Instead, the ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask will directly create a new bend using the default parameters.

Step 3: Enter Bend Parameters

After confirming general data, the cursor will automatically move to the Alfa Y1 field of the first bend. From here, you can continue entering angle and axis values within the ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask.

Step 4: Save the Programme

Once programming is complete:

1. Press the save key.
2. Enter the programme name in the pop-up window.
3. Select [Confirm] and press ENTER.

The new programme will then be stored in the system memory.

Why Mastering ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask Improves Efficiency

The ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask significantly enhances workflow efficiency by centralizing bend data management. Instead of navigating between multiple screens, operators can:

• View all bends simultaneously
• Quickly compare angle values
• Add new bends
• Create new sections
• Generate new programmes

By mastering the Bend Summary Mask, operators gain better control over multi-bend parts, reduce programming time, and minimize input errors. The table-based structure ensures clarity, while integrated editing tools support fast and precise parameter modification.

For complex press brake operations, the ESA S875 Bend Summary Mask serves as a powerful programming and management tool that improves accuracy, organization, and overall production stability.
