Steps to Mastering DELEM DA-69S Product Programming

Schritt 1: Understanding Program Mode and Parameters

One of the foundational steps to mastering DELEM DA-69S Product Programming is a thorough understanding of its program mode and various parameters. These elements dictate how tasks are executed and directly influence the precision and efficiency of your operations.

The main screen shows the available bends and from this main screen, from every available bend, specific paremeters can be viewed and edited. The product ID and product description are displayed in the top row on the screen.

Bei einem grafischen Produkt können auch grafische Informationen angezeigt werden.

Biegeparameter

Bend parameters are critical in defining the angle and extent of each bend. Mastery in this area ensures the metal is bent to exact specifications, minimizing errors and material wastage.

Bend methods:

Das Blech wird durch Einfahren des Stempels in die gewünschte Tiefe auf den programmierten Winkel gebogen. Die Steuerung berechnet die erforderliche Y-Achsenposition, um den programmierten Winkel zu erreichen.

Das Biegen des Blechs erfolgt durch Einpressen des Blechs zwischen Stempel und Matrize. Die Steuerung nimmt die Unterseite der Matrize als erforderliche Y-Achsenposition an.

Das Blech wird in zwei Hälften gefaltet. Dies ist möglich, nachdem das Blech zuvor in einem spitzen Winkel gebogen wurde. Die Steuerung berechnet hierfür die genaue Y-Achsenposition: die Oberfläche der Matrize plus die doppelte Blechdicke. Die Y-Achsenposition kann durch die Programmierung einer „Falzöffnung“ angepasst werden.

Dasselbe wie beim Falzen, aber jetzt nimmt die Steuerung die Oberseite der Matrize als erforderliche Y-Achsenposition an. Das gefaltete Blech wird zwischen Stempel und Matrize gepresst.

Handhabung

No movement of the Y-axis, so the current program step becomes a non-bending step. Only the backgauge axes will position according to the programmed values, e.g. in order to enable handling of the product. An external step change (C-input) is required.

Anmerkung 1

Die Falzbiegungen sind hier mit einem speziellen Falzstempel dargestellt, dieser ist jedoch nicht zwingend erforderlich.

Anmerkung 2

When bottoming operation is selected, the end of bend position of the Y-axis beam depends on the working force. If however the force is sufficient for the beam to go to the calculated Y-axis end of bend position, the beam stroke will be limited by the position value.

Deflect-Methode:

Dynamic: Automatic real-time control of crowning during bending with necessary corrections.

Non-Dynamic: Standard hydraulic crowning without real-time corrections.

Biegelänge: Refers to the sheet length between tools.

Effective Bend Length: Calculated from product geometry, it determines the force and use of the crowning device. It is the sum of separate bend line lengths for additional or simultaneous bends.

Produktposition: Indicates the absolute position value in the Z-direction, with the left machine side as reference zero.

Preferred Radius: Programmed radius based on initial product thickness, though larger radius tools may be required.

Winkel: Required bend angle, shown when angle programming is selected and the air bend method is used.

Saumöffnung: The hem bend opening distance used for beam position calculations. Defaults to the Setting mode’s Default Hem Opening parameter.

Schnelles Säumen: Enables high-speed Y-axis descent below the die top until reaching the hemming load opening, reducing cycle time, especially with a U-die.

Y-axis (Bend Position): Required Y-axis position for the bend, appearing when absolute programming is selected, or with bottoming/hemming methods.

Stumm: Point where Y-axis switches from fast closing to pressing speed, based on the sheet distance. Default is the mute value from the programmed die.

Parallel: Difference between Y1 and Y2 cylinder positions. Positive indicates a lower right side, negative a higher right side, and is active below the clamping point.

Öffnung: The gap opening between punch and die post-bend, with positive values above Mute and negative below, affecting handling time.

DELEM DA-69S Product Programming incorporates these elements to optimize CNC operations efficiently.

Gewalt

Knowing how to set the appropriate force is crucial for achieving the desired bend without damaging the machine or the material. Proper force calibration is essential for optimizing performance.

In DELEM DA-69S Product Programming, understanding key parameters is crucial:

• Gewalt: Refers to the maximum adjusted force during pressing, which is automatically computed.
• Verweilzeit: The holding time of the punch at the bending point.
• Dekompression: Involves the decompression distance after bending to release working pressure from the system. This distance is usually calculated to the minimal required value, but can be set at specific cycle points. Options include:
  • Stumm: The calculated mute point, offering a longer distance.
  • Clamp: The calculated clamping point, which has an extended distance over the standard.

These parameters are integral to optimizing DELEM DA-69S Product Programming.

Geschwindigkeit

Speed settings affect the operation’s pace and, indirectly, the quality of the bend. Adjusting speed settings carefully can enhance efficiency while maintaining precision.

• Geschwindigkeit: This refers to the working speed, or pressing speed, and initially takes its value from the Default Pressing Speed set in the Settings mode. Adjusting this parameter can optimize performance during production.
• Zersetzungsgeschwindigkeit: The decompression speed is a programmable feature that controls the speed of the beam during the decompression distance, allowing for precise adjustments tailored to specific production needs.

• PST-Achse: This parameter allows you to switch the part support on or off. When off, the part support remains at its zero position during the bend.
• R-Stellung: This defines the height of the part support before and after a bend. By default, it is set at the die’s top (R-position = 0.00 mm), and it’s available only if enabled by the machine manufacturer.
• Verfahren: This parameter sets how and when the part support returns to its zero position after bending. Options include:
  • ‘Return at UDP’
  • ‘Return when opening’
  • ‘Product tilt’ for avoiding collisions between the product and punch.
  • ‘Static angle support’ for maintaining a fixed angle.
• Neigungswinkel: When using the ‘Product tilt’ method, this parameter controls the additional angle for the part support, adjusting based on whether it’s at the front or back of the machine.
• Neigungsgeschwindigkeit: This sets the speed, as a percentage of the maximum speed, for moving to the tilt angle position. Available if ‘Product tilt’ is selected.
• Kippspiel: If decompression distance is insufficient, additional clearance is programmed to ensure part support follows during this phase, available with the ‘Product tilt’ method.
• Winkel: Specifies the static angle for part support, applicable with the ‘Static angle support’ method.
• Geschwindigkeit: Determines the speed, as a percentage of max speed, to reach the static angle within ‘Static angle support’.
• Rücklaufgeschwindigkeit: The speed at which the part support returns post-bend, as a percentage of max speed.
• Sicherheitsanschlagwinkel: The angle where support halts during return, requiring additional user input to reach zero position.
• Anfangswinkel: The pre-bend angle for part support movement during a step change, specifically for front machine support.
• Anfangswinkelgeschwindigkeit: Indicates the speed to move towards the initial angle, relevant for front machine support.
