Having to hit that foot pedal twice is a PITA. Is anyone aware of any solutions to this issue? It sure would be nice to only have to step on that pedal one time to execute a bend. I know it’s a “safety” issue but I’ve been running press brakes for 35 years and this is an unnecessary step.

100% agree - I think having the awkward repetitive double tap timing cadence is more of ‘safety’ issue that anything else on this machine. No real machine company could get away with forcing people to do this in the real world. I doubt they will fix this, and if they do, it will take months or years to do a code update that would take less than 3 minutes of a programmers time. I think the way to fix this is to wire inline a timer or cycle interrupter - I suspect a $12 Arduino could do this.
