The Duct Maker Application (AP02-10) provides the software for the iCON controller to provide activating output drives, measurements and the interlocking signals required to operate a Feed and Cut machine followed by a folding apron and conveyor system. When coupled with appropriate mechanical systems, a precision machine tool of high production batch bending can be realised. This application is suitable to drive proportional hydraulic valves or simple hydraulic valves with VSD pump control.
