By entering accurate punch and die dimensions, mounting information, and safety parameters, the controller can calculate bending positions, force requirements, and tooling clearances more precisely. Whether you are adding a new tool, updating an existing one, or customizing tooling for a specific application, learning how to create CybTouch 8 Punches and Dies helps improve programming accuracy, reduce setup time, and ensure consistent bending performance. In this guide, I will explain how to create, edit, and save punches and dies correctly, as well as introduce the key parameters required for reliable tool management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding CybTouch 8 Punches and Dies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CybTouch 8 Punches and Dies editor enables users to build and maintain a complete tooling database directly on the controller. Instead of selecting only preconfigured tools, operators can create custom punches and dies that match the actual tooling installed on the press brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every tool record stores important geometric and functional information that the controller uses during bend calculations. Once saved, these tools become available for future programs, eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maintaining an accurate tooling library improves programming efficiency, minimizes calculation errors, and ensures that bending parameters are based on the actual tools being used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating or Modifying a Punch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To create a new punch or edit an existing one, open the <strong>Punch Editor<\/strong> from the tooling library. The controller displays the punch profile together with all editable parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Operators can either:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create a completely new punch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Modify an existing punch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save an edited punch as a new tool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Update an existing tool entry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This flexibility allows manufacturers to expand their tooling database as new punches are introduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Configuring Basic Punch Parameters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first step is entering the basic punch specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typical parameters include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Punch name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Punch angle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Punch height<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u0646\u0635\u0641 \u0642\u0637\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0643\u0645\u0629<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maximum tonnage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mounting direction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bottoming availability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These values define the physical characteristics of the punch and allow the controller to perform accurate bend calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"521\" height=\"232\" src=\"https:\/\/www.harsle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-29.png\" alt=\"CybTouch 8 Punches and Dies\" class=\"wp-image-86982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.harsle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-29.png 521w, https:\/\/www.harsle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-29-400x178.png 400w, https:\/\/www.harsle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-29-18x8.png 18w, https:\/\/www.harsle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-29-360x160.png 360w, https:\/\/www.harsle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-29-430x191.png 430w, https:\/\/www.harsle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-29-150x67.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 521px) 100vw, 521px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before saving a new punch, always verify that the entered dimensions match the actual tooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Configuring Advanced Punch Parameters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u0627\u0644 <strong>\u0623\u0643\u062b\u0631<\/strong> page provides additional settings for specialized applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the controller version, operators may configure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Safety XS distance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u062a\u0635\u062d\u064a\u062d X<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional tool geometry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tool-specific offsets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These parameters help optimize machine movements and improve safety during bending operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For standard production, the default values are usually sufficient. Advanced settings should only be modified when required by the tooling manufacturer or production process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Saving a New Punch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After completing the punch configuration, the tool can be saved into the controller&#8217;s tooling library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two save options are typically available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u064a\u062d\u0641\u0638<\/strong> \u2013 updates the current punch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u062d\u0641\u0638

use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the machine configuration, modifying tooling data may require a <strong>Level 2 password<\/strong> to prevent unauthorized changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating or Modifying a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=E6RxpJ-L6xI\" data-type=\"link\"

similarly to the punch editor but focuses on the characteristics of the lower die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creating accurate die records is equally important because die dimensions directly affect bend allowance, force calculation, and backgauge positioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Operators can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create new

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each die record contains several essential specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typical die parameters include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Die name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>V-opening (Ve)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Die height<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u0646\u0635\u0641 \u0642\u0637\u0631

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These parameters are used together with the selected punch to calculate the required beam position and bending force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accurate die dimensions contribute directly to higher bending precision and reduced programming adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Configuring Advanced Die Parameters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u0627\u0644 <strong>\u0623\u0643\u062b\u0631<\/strong> page for dies provides additional configuration options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Safety XS distance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Safety RS distance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retract zone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tool-specific correction values<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These settings help define safe machine movements and improve compatibility with different tooling configurations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most applications, only qualified personnel should modify these advanced parameters, especially when changing safety-related values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Saving a New Die<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the die information has been verified, operators can save the tool to the controller database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with punches, two save methods are available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u064a\u062d\u0641\u0638<\/strong> \u2013 overwrite the existing die.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u062d\u0641\u0638 \u0628\u0627\u0633\u0645<\/strong> \u2013 create a new die entry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creating separate records for modified dies is considered a best practice because it preserves the original tooling data while allowing customized configurations for special applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
