Comparison and Selection of CNC Controller for Hydraulic Press Brake ——DELEM

The integrated DA-52S numerical control system can be controlled not only by the torsional axis synchronous bending machine, but also by the hydraulic synchronous bending machine.The panel mounting structure based on 4-axis control can be directly mounted on the electric cabinet or in the suspension cabinet.The friendly user interface and DA-52S system displayed by TFT true color LCD have all the basic functions of bending machine control.Its unique "shortcut key" method provides fast and concise programming.Angle programming of Y axis, deflection compensation function of worktable and pressure control are all taken as standard configurations.The DA-52S system based on the latest technology provides a stable and reliable solution.Its USB interface greatly facilitates the quick backup of products and moulds.

DA-52S is an important transition of Delem from the numerical control system of torsional axis bending machine to the numerical control system of hydraulic press brake. DA-50Touch series bending machine system provides a multifunctional solution for powerful hydraulic press brake.Of course, compared with the later DA-53T and even DA-69T, the function of DA-52S may not be strong enough, but considering the price, DA-52S is very suitable for users who need less.

The new compact DA-53T adds a state of the art complete touch control solution for synchronized press brakes. This panel based control, standard capable of controlling up to 4 axes, can be integrated in cabinets as well as used in an optional pendulant arm housing. Its 10.1" wide screen high resolution colour TFT, with industrial grade multi touch technology, gives access to the proven Delem userinterface. It enables direct “hot-key” touch navigation between product programming and actual production. Functions are located where needed, offering optimised ergonomics throughout the entire application. Machine adjustment and test bends are reduced to a minimum with a quick and easy program-to-production work sequence.USB interfacing enables fast product and tool backup using USB memory sticks. The standard machine control functions are Y1-Y2, X, R-axis and crowning. The second back gauge axis can also be set as Z axis.

Compared with the DA-52S system, the DA-53T increases the screen to 10.1 "on the basis of maintaining the advantages of compensation system control, USB backup and recovery, and 24 language options. It also makes the screen touchable and supports the use of offline software, which makes the user more convenient and smooth to use, but the price also increases a little accordingly.

The DA-58T is a state of the art complete 2D graphical control solution for synchronized press brakes. Its 15" high resolution colour TFT, with industrial grade multi touch screen technology, gives access to the proven Delem user-interface. It enables direct navigation between product programming and actual production. Functions are directly located where needed, offering optimised ergonomics throughout the entire application. Machine adjustment and test bends are reduced to a minimum with a quick and easy program-to-production work sequence. CNC programs are generated with a single touch. You are immediately ready to make the first part since all axes positions are automatically computed and the bend sequence has been simulated with machine and tools in real scale.The DA-58T offers 2D programming including automatic bend sequence calculation and collision detection. The production mode of the DA-58T helps the operator in graphically simulating the bend process of the product, guiding him during the press brake operation. The standard machine control functions are Y1-Y2 and X axis. A second back gauge axis can be used as R or Z axis. Also crowning control is standard on board.

Compared with DA-53T, DA-58T enlarges the screen to 15 "and adds functions such as drawing and 2D graphics programming. It also adds a network interface that can be directly connected to the network and a general selection of computers, making bending workpieces more intelligent.

The new generation DA-Touch controls offers an even higher grade of efficiency in programming, operation and control of today’s press brakes. Ease of use combined with state-of-the-art technology go hand in hand, improving productivity. The touch screen gives access to the proven Delem user-interface and enables direct navigation between programming and production. Functions are directly located where you need them, offering optimised ergonomics throughout the application. The DA-66T offers 2D programming that includes automatic bend sequence calculation and collision detection. Full 3D machine set-up with multiple tool stations giving true feedback on the product feasibility and handling. Highly effective control algorithms optimise the machine cycle and minimise set-up time. This makes using press brakes easier, more efficient and more versatile then ever.The OEM-panel located above the screen, reserved for machine functions and OEMapplication switches, is integrated in the design and can be used depending the required application.

Compared with previous types, DA-66T has raised the numerical control system to another height.The 17 "super large screen, 3D graphic simulation display, complete Windows application package, compatibility with DELEM modular structure, angle detection sensor interface and other functions make DA-66T an ultra-high cost-effective system, which is popular with users.

The touch screen gives access to the proven Delem user-interface and enables direct navigation between programming and production. Functions are directly located where you need them, offering optimised ergonomics throughout the application. The DA-69T offers 2D as well as 3D programming that includes automatic bend sequence calculation and collision detection. Full 3D machine set-up with multiple tool stations giving true feedback on the product feasibility and handling.
