Re: CNC Standard File format for tube bending
I think you'll find most machines are controlled by gcode
I think Linuxcnc would be a good choice as you can write custom components for it.
You just need to have some maths that converted the distance the ram needs move to achieve a given angle and it becomes just another X,Y axis machine and add a rotary axis to rotate the tube.
SO I would write a custom component in linuxcnc that accepted as input the parameters defining bend angle. and output a distance to move.
