You think you can control Bender? Ha!
On the serious side:

Is there a control for reverse? Maybe you could output the step and dir pins for the "bending" axis to a PLC, and if the dir pin was high and the step was pulsing it would go forward. If the dir pin was low and step pulsing it would reverse.
