bending process. When handling large heavy materials make sure they are properly
supported.
Programmer Overview
• The MB-350 Mandrel utilizes a fully programmable touch screen operator interface. The
unique operator interface allows you to write and save 140 programs with 10 bends per
program. Operation is extremely simple to learn. Simple foot pedal controls allow you to
easily produce fast and accurate bends. The following instructions will walk you through the
basic functions.
• Be sure to follow the dry running instructions to familiarize yourself with all the functions of
the control before any actual bending of material is performed.
