Introduction

The DELEM DA-52S Manual Mode offers precision and flexibility, enhancing operational efficiency on the workshop floor. This manual mode allows operators to have direct control over the machinery, facilitating detailed customizations and adjustments on the fly, essential for intricate operations.

After pushing the ‘Start’ button all parameters are active and the backgauge will go into position. It is also possible to move the axes manually.

Parameter Explanation

Understanding the essential parameters within the DELEM DA-52S Manual Mode is crucial for effective machine control. Parameters such as axis alignment, cycle speed, and tool position play significant roles in ensuring precise and efficient press brake operations.

All parameters can be independently programmed, allowing for customized operation tailored to specific materials and job requirements.

• Punch (UP): Select from the tooling library to determine bend form and depth.
• Die (UN): Choose the die configuration essential for bending operations.
• Material (MA): Select from up to 6 preprogrammed materials for accurate bending depth calculations.
• Thickness (TH): Input the sheet thickness for precise force and angle computations.
• Length (BL): Define sheet length affecting backgauge positioning.
• Method (BM): Select between air bending and bottoming, impacting force and outcomes.
• Angle Correction (Cα): Adjust for discrepancies between programmed and measured angles.
• Angle (α): Input the desired bend angle, influencing Y-axis settings.
• Y1 and Y2 Axes (Y): Determine values for precise angle achievement, crucial for conical bending.
• Mute (M): Set Y-axis transition from fast to pressing speed at a specific position value.
• Decompression (BP): Program stroke for pressure release after bending.
• Force (P): Compute necessary force based on material, thickness, and die opening.
• X-Axis (X): Set backgauge position for accurate sheet placement.
• Retract (DX): Specify retract distance during bending, starting at the pinching point.
• Auxiliary Axis (R): Configure additional axes like R or Z for complex tasks.
• Opening (DY): Control gap between punch and die post-bend to reduce handling time.
• Speed (S): Determine pressing speed for balance between efficiency and precision.
• Decomp Speed (BS): Set beam speed during decompression stroke.
• Hold Time (T): Determine dwell time at the bend point for consistency.
• Parallelism (Y2): Adjust to ensure uniformity between cylinders.

Activating these parameters upon start optimizes control and boosts operation efficiency in DELEM DA-52S Manual Mode.

Zoomed Values

DELEM DA-52S Manual Mode includes a feature for zoomed values, allowing operators to closely inspect detailed settings and adjustments. This feature is particularly beneficial for making precise tweaks in critical parameters, ensuring superior quality control.

By utilizing zoomed values, operators can perform detailed calibrations that are crucial for maintaining consistency across multiple operations and minimizing errors during complex tasks.

Manual Operation of the Axes

Once the ‘manual pos’ key is engaged, navigate using the cursor bar to the axis you wish to adjust.

• Auxiliary Axes: In “Stop” + “Manual Mode”, you can manually adjust the backgauge by selecting it with the “Manual positioning” key and moving it using the keypad. This allows for precise and customized adjustments.
• Y-axis: In “Start” + “Manual Mode”, position the Y-axis manually, ensuring:
  • The ‘adjust’ function is active, indicated by “Adjust” on-screen.
  • The axis is below the mute-point.
  • A pressing command is set in the CNC.

Teaching Positions

The DELEM DA-52S Manual Mode lets you save specific axis positions. After moving an axis, press ENTER to store its position, transferring the current axis value to the programmed field. This ensures repeatability and accuracy for future operations.
