ASCO 4.0 Software FROM SKETCH TO BENDING PROGRAM FASTER THAN EVER BEFORE

ASCO V-Touch is a unique software that combines efficiency and user-friendliness in an unprecedented ratio. The standard ASCO Touch control system impresses with its user-friendliness and clearly structured layout. Any number of profiles and folders can be created in the profile management. These can be moved, copied or exported with a simple touch. Functions such as conical bending or interlocking of profiles as well as bending simulation are standard. The modern 21.5” flat screen in HD resolution enables optimum input and display.

ASCO V-Touch Software

• Modern dashboard for easy navigation
• Clearly arranged profile management
• New profiles can be drawn and dimensioned with a finger in a user-friendly way.

• Automatic cutting pattern calculation including K factor (proof sheet for leg length by bend deformation)
• Automatic bend sequence calculation to reduce material handling
• In simulation, the complete bending process can be checked for the absence of collision
• Graphic display of the colour or visible side
• Animated bending sequence in 2D to check for collisions
• Prospective bending time calculation
• Material database for automated angle correction depending on material and thickness
• Cutting programme including conical cut function

• Saving of more than 10,000 profiles is possible
V-Touch at a glance

Many orders and small batch sizes - for you, this means that your machine operators or programmers have to program faster - and without errors! With ASCO Pro 4.0, you have enough time for efficient work preparation. The ASCO Pro 4.0 software maps all process steps for efficient planning. With ASCO Pro 4.0, you do not program your long folding machine or double bender at the machine, but at one or more workstations parallel to production. This procedure significantly reduces non-productive times and therefore dramatically increases machine availability. There is no need for time-consuming training on the machine. Your Variobend works productively without interruption.

Once an order has been created, you can transfer the data to the machine in paperless form. In addition, the production order can be exported as a PDF and automatically provided with a unique QR code. The created PDF is then transferred to the machine operator. The machine operator scans the profile to be produced. With the help of the QR scanner, the profile previously created in the office is called up with all its characteristics and can be produced immediately.

Avoid unproductive times - use the intelligent and highly efficient ASCO Pro 4.0.
