Press Brake CNC control - possible? was created by Brad91
Hi All, 

Ive done a search and found a couple threads on this but it honestly goes over my head a little. Has anyone made a complete press brake control with GUI interface from LinuxCNC? Im currently looking at building a DIY press brake to suit my needs and would ideally like to have some control over it. Even a basic NC control that can save programs as I do repeat parts would be great. I know almost nothing when it comes to software and have been attempting to have AI write it for me (which is probably not going to work). I come from a mechanic/fabrication background so building the press for me is the easy part and the software part is where I will seriously struggle. Was hoping someone would have something that might suit? 
Currently on the fence between a torsion bar style press with a single Y1 on a glass scale or if it can be done I would rather run Y1, Y2 and a pair of scales to control it independantly. X axis backstop would also be needed. Other axis controls would be nice but really not needed for my application. Ideally tooling library, bend tables etc would be great to have stored inside software but is that  LinuxCNC thing or something seperate i need to make?
The threads ive seen on here seem to taper off with no conclusive result on them. If anyone has any input would be very much appreciated as I am a complete newbie to this type of thing. 

Thanks
Brad
