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.
