Einführung

Standard procedure

The standard procedure for DELEM DA-66T Tool configuration begins with a thorough understanding of the machine’s interface and operational dynamics.

Remember to perform an initial check for system updates, which may enhance functionalities. Mastering this foundational process is key to executing precise and successful configurations.

When the function Tool Setup has been activated, the screen shows a front view of the machine set-up in the upper half of the screen. In this screen, the placement of tools in the machine can be programmed.

In der Frontansicht sind folgende Maschinenelemente von oben nach unten dargestellt:

• Machine upper side (pressing beam)

• Adapter for punch (if an adapter is programmed)

• Schlag

• Sterben

• Machine lower side (table).

Whether an adapter can be programmed depends on the parameter enable adapters in the same Machine mode.

Werkzeugauswahl

Tool selection is a critical aspect of the DELEM DA-66T Tool configuration. When starting a new tool configuration, the machine opening is empty.

Wählen Sie „Hinzufügen“, um der Konfiguration ein Werkzeug hinzuzufügen: Stempel, Matrize oder Adapter (falls aktiviert).

Wenn ein Werkzeug ausgewählt wurde (z. B. ein Stempel), wird es mit der maximal verfügbaren Länge in die Maschine gelegt.

Nachdem ein Werkzeug platziert wurde, kann die Werkzeug-ID geändert werden, indem Sie die Stempel-ID auf dem Bildschirm auswählen und auf die Listenansicht tippen.

By accessing the ‘Advise’ feature on this screen, a curated selection of available tools will be shown. The selection criteria include:

• Product Radius: The chosen tool should produce a radius close to the desired one, within a +/- 50% tolerance of the preferred radius.
• Bending Force: Ensure that the required bending force does not exceed the tools’ resistance.
• Tool Angle: The tool’s angle must be equal to or less than the needed product angle.
• Bend Method: The tool must align with the bend method, such as selecting hemming tools for products with hem bends.

To view the complete list of tools, tap ‘Show All’.

Start with choosing the appropriate Multi-V or Vario-V dies that match your production requirements. Utilize the die feature preselect options to expedite this process.

Multi-V, Chip-Feature-Vorauswahl

Multi-V Die Feature Preselect:

• Selecting Openings: For a Multi-V die, which features more than one V- or U-opening, you have the option to choose a specific opening. This allows for precise control over the bend sequence calculation.
• Using Multi-V (V = *): Alternatively, you can select the Multi-V die with V = *. In this case, the control system will automatically choose the opening that results in a product radius as close as possible to your programmed specification.
• Dynamic Adjustment: If during the bend sequence calculation, another opening is deemed more suitable, the system will adjust and use this new opening for the remaining, uncalculated bends, optimizing the bending process for best results.

This approach ensures flexibility and accuracy in DELEM DA-66T tool configuration.

Vario-V, Auswählen und Einstellen

When working with a Vario-V die, which features a variable V- or U-opening, the die selection process is similar to selecting any other die. Here’s a simplified breakdown:

• Selection Process: Choose the Vario-V die like any other die. Initially, the V-value isn’t programmed.
• Biegesequenz: You can proceed with creating a bend sequence. The system automatically selects the most suitable V-value based on available Vario-V positions.
• Programmed V-Value: If you program a specific V-value, the system uses this value in calculations for the bend sequence.
• Diskrete Positionen: For Vario-V dies with discrete positions, only these positions are available. If a different value is programmed, the nearest available position is selected.
• Bend Sequence Mode: The selected V-opening (Multi-V) or V-value (Vario-V) can be modified. Use the ‘Modify, Shift Die’ function to adjust the value by tapping on it.
• Program Mode: Similar adjustments can be made using the Die positioning function.

Integrating these steps into your DELEM DA-66T tool configuration helps optimize your bending operations.

Positioning or repositioning

Positioning or repositioning tools in the DELEM DA-66T Tool Configuration is straightforward. Here’s how you can manage the tool settings efficiently:

1. Modify Length and Position:
   • Navigate the cursor to the desired field, input the new value, and press ENTER. The tool is then ready with the new settings.
   • You can select tools by tapping on them and change their position by dragging them to the desired location.
2. Enhanced Repositioning:
   • Dragging tools is made precise with an enhanced feature. Move your finger downward during dragging to slow the positioning speed, allowing for more accurate placement.
   • The snapping function helps align tools. When tools are within the snapping range, a red line appears, indicating alignment with the upper, lower, or center of the machine.
3. Tool Set-Up Adjustments:
   • Once a punch is finalized, a die with a default ID, mirroring the punch’s length and position, is placed beneath it.
   • The tool setup can be adjusted using available functions. You can add/deactivate punches and dies, relocate tools, alter their length, change their orientation, or modify heel types.
4. Tool Management:
   • Delete Config. : Erase the current configuration to start a new one.
   • Add: Introduce a new tool by choosing between a punch, die, or adapter (if enabled).
   • Deletel: Remove the currently selected tool.

When selecting and setting these tools, pay close attention to their positioning or repositioning to maximize accuracy and effectiveness. Accurate tool selection and positioning are vital for achieving desired bends and maintaining product quality.

Tool segmentation

When working with segmented tools in the DELEM DA-66T tool configuration, the control system supports creating desired tool sizes through appropriate segmentation. Here’s a simplified explanation of the segmentation functionality, including the three views available in the tool setup:

• Tool Setup and Segmentation: The control system allows for effective tool segmentation depending on the programmed segments for each tool. This can be configured in Machine mode under the Punches and Bottom Dies libraries.
• Three View Modes in Tool Setup: In the Tool Setup screen, there are three view modes to assist with tool segmentation:

These views can be selected using the buttons located on the left side of the machine’s front panel, enhancing your ability to configure tools effectively. For detailed instructions on segment programming in the tool library, additional information is provided in the concluding section of this guide.

Segmentierung einzelner Werkzeuge

After setting up the desired tools for your products, the Bend Sequence mode can calculate the most efficient bending sequence. Here’s a simplified breakdown:

• Segmentation Option: If needed, tools can be segmented. This helps in selecting the correct segments to create the appropriate tool length.
• Automatic Calculation: The tool segmentation function automatically calculates the required segmentation. It utilizes parameters like ‘maximum inter-tool distance’ and, optionally, ‘tool length tolerance’ to find the best solution.

For precise control, focus on the segmentation of individual tools. Utilize the Tool view to assess the available tools and their configurations. Assignments help in categorizing tools based on usage and necessity. In the Segmentation view, ensure each segment is correctly documented within the tool library. Maintaining a well-organized library simplifies tool retrieval and enhances machine usability.
