CNC Press Brake CT12 operation causing you trouble? Learn the essentials of using the CT12 for efficient, precise bending.

Mastering the CNC Press Brake CT12 is crucial for achieving high-precision bends. This guide provides step-by-step instructions on setting up and operating the CT12 effectively, ensuring optimal bending results. Let’s dive deeper into key steps and tips for operating the CT12.

Part 1 Fill The Oil and Cable Connections

• Filling the oil tank with anti-wear hydraulic oil. And fill the oil from this port.

• No less than 2/3 of the Oil Volume Level.

• Connect the machine to the power source. And connect to a 3-phase power source.

• Switch on the power source.

• Connect the pedal switch to the machine.

• Turn on the power switch.

• Check the main motor rotating direction.

• If it rotates clockwise, then It is correct.

• If it is rotating anti-clockwise. And press the emergency stop.

• Exchange the two wires connection. 

Part 2 Machine Start-up

• Turn on the machine power switch.

• Waiting For the System Loading

• The machine will find the reference point automatically. 

• Start the oil pump

Part 3 CT12 Operation

• Select Graphic Programming

• Select upper and lower molds

• Input the sheet length of 1000

• Drawing according to the product and entering the length in order.

• Tape the corner to edit its angle

• Edit the bending sequence and simulate

• Rename and save the program

Part 4 Bending 

• click on the button and run

• Placing the metal sheet. And the sheet will touch the stop fingers. 

• Step the foot pedal.

• Complete the four steps in sequence.

Part 5 Measurement & Calibration

• Measure the first bending distance

• Measure the second bending distance

• Measure the angle

• Error was found, the actual bending angle is 89 degrees

• Click on the icon

• Click to calibrate

• Input the actual measured angle

• Calibration completed

• Bend again for testing.

• Measure again.

• It is correct now.

Part 6 Switch Off

• Step the pedal switch to lower the punch against the die.

• Press the emergency stop buttons.

• Turn off the power switch.
