Any Idea on why our new titan takes 5-6 minutes to boot ? its also tripping with fault 11 exceeding ram force this is a 1/4" x 2" mild steel
test piece of stock.
are the specs you put in for your bend what you show above? Have the correct punch and die selected? Used the rule of 8 for the die size?

Good catch Knick
We have the lower die holder in place and that was not selected so the lower shoe was higher than the machine expected. A more informative fault message would have helped. The machine has 2 encoders so the program knew it was a height issue in pre-clamp not as reported a hyd. over pressure error F11. . This machine will be another learning curve.
Not liking the Unix interface. slow and a tad clumsy . I can see maybe where they were going getting away from MS but the XR machine interface is way better so this is a downer so far IMOâŚ

This is a coding issue and optimization of whatâs running on the single board computer. I do agree though, its slow and using standard size widgets like checkboxes and âXâ close is hard to finger tap.

My embedded Linux experience tells me that the control boardâs file system wasnât shutdown gracefully (because thereâs no option for this). Simply turning off the power is not graceful. So the next boot cycle requires a file system check, where 5-6 minutes sounds about right.

Discovered the main logic board has a spare USB port and using a wireless mouse seems to help clicking around in the interface.

I have used a laser scanner a few times in my Nuclear underwater service work (60 ft deep). Newton Labs has a nuclear hardened laser scanner and it is a Linux based interface . Working close with their support team at a nuke plant or two, the terminal mode was their best friend in debugging. Ken

i would not have guessed those extreme gooseneck punches would do 1/4" or at least that easily. thatâs awesome.

They are quite beefy
Your second bend shows a shift in, well, everything at the last couple seconds. Finding out what moved will explain your 1.5* variance.
I would be interested in how much deflection you are getting on that gooseneck punch.

Agree, you can see that slight slide. The gooseneck punches are quite beefy.
After looking at the video zoomed in with slo-mo, I wonder if the punch and die are truly aligned with each other? Is the upper sliding 1" plate shimmed on the precision guides to align it with center of the lower die bed? I wonder how LM adjusts this dimension, because itâs a flame cut steel part, machined after so what type of accuracy and tolerance can they hold for production and how is this dimension set?

I saw that too. Maybe @langmuir-sam can answer the manufacturing alignment process.

I guess one would have to run a micrometer along the entire bed width to see if the upper die holder is parallel to the lower, then do the same in the lowered position to see how close they are, then start tracking down the punch measurements mounted and tight in the holder to see if that is where the misalignment is coming from. If everything is tight, the machine should hold âAâ tolerance, which should be consistent and then be able to be corrected in the softwareâŚat least in theory

Thank you Craig. I always appreciate the time you take to do these videos.

this is the best bit of media I have seen yet on the 25T. @langmuir-sam Should find some budget money from marketing and just hand it over to @holla2040 for this video to put on the website and save themselves the time and effort. Awesome instructional video and great marketing. Thanks

Craig really puts out some great videos. His attention to editing and sound quality makes a big difference.
I donât even have the Titan25 and I like watching the videos!

I think LS should have a very detailed video tutorial series on the effective and proper use of the Titan25T, and how to get the most effective use of their BendControl software and UI. Without that, everyone is just guessing and fumbling around on their own based on the PDF operation guide, which is not ideal.
