In the realm of precision metalworking, ensuring maximum accuracy is paramount, and that’s where the DELEM DA-53T Machine Mode steps in. If you’re exploring how this advanced feature enhances the precision of your operations, you’ve come to the right place.

In this article, I’ll delve into the ways the DELEM DA-53T Machine Mode can refine accuracy in your press brake processes. This guide will provide you with the insights needed to understand how leveraging this technology can elevate your production quality, ensuring you achieve consistent and precise results. Whether you’re already using DELEM systems or considering an upgrade, the information here will help illuminate the benefits of incorporating DELEM DA-53T Machine Mode into your workflow.

Introduction

The DELEM DA-53T Machine Mode, easily accessible through the navigation panel, allows you to configure machine settings and characteristics that impact calculations and behavior.

These settings are organized into several tabs for easy navigation. To adjust any item, simply tap the desired tab. If more tabs exist than can be displayed at once, you can drag horizontally to view and select all available options.

Optimized Backgauge Functionality

The DELEM DA-53T enhances precision in backgauge settings by considering dimensions like backgauge finger size, R-axis, and X-axis movements. Through DELEM DA-53T Machine Mode, it calculates potential workpiece-backgauge collisions and allows R-axis offset adjustments for optimal positioning outside the die safety zone.

Strategies for Maximizing Backgauge Accuracy with the DELEM DA-53T:

Gauge R offset: An offset value for the R-axis can be set if the backgauge is positioned against the sheet edge and the X-axis position is outside the die safety zone. A negative value gives a lower backgauge position. This offset is only valid for gauge position 0.

Finger Width: Use the Machine Mode to set precise finger dimensions, especially with an automatic Z-axis, for enhanced alignment and collision prevention.

Tap “Edit Drawing” to display the backgauge drawing, allowing you to program the dimensions of the backgauge finger within the DELEM DA-53T Machine Mode.

The parameters provided describe the dimensions and lay-on positions of the backgauge. The number of parameters required will depend on the gauge positions you program. As more gauge positions are set, additional parameters will be available, and the illustration at the bottom of the screen will update accordingly.

Gauge Positions: Utilize up to four customizable gauge positions, allowing the system to adapt finger geometry for each scenario.

Finger Parameters: Set finger height (FH), length (FL), and gauge height (H1) accurately to maintain precise lay-on positions.

The DELEM DA-53T Machine Mode significantly boosts backgauge accuracy and efficiency in sheet metal operations.

Advanced Position Corrections

The DELEM DA-53T controller offers tools for correcting positional errors when the actual mechanical axis position doesn’t match the displayed value. This is achieved by adjusting the position correction parameter:

• If the displayed value is 250 and the actual position is 252, set the correction to -2.
• If the displayed value is 250 and the actual position is 248, set the correction to +2.

Corrections apply to all auxiliary axes and should be used temporarily. In DELEM DA-53T Machine Mode, ensure normal corrections are zero to maintain precision.

Best Practices for High-Precision Operations:

1. Regular Calibration: Calibrate frequently to minimize the need for corrections.
2. Temporary Corrections: Use position corrections as a short-term fix. Persistent issues may require service.
3. Zeroing Corrections: Aim to keep corrections at zero during normal operation.
4. Documentation: Record and monitor corrections to identify patterns or maintenance needs.

By following these guidelines, you can optimize machine precision and performance.

Proactive Maintenance and System Monitoring

The DELEM DA-53T Machine Mode streamlines maintenance management with critical tools like the machine hour counter and stroke counter for monitoring usage.

These features guide regular maintenance schedules and prevent unexpected breakdowns. The diagnostic mode, which can be activated for in-depth troubleshooting, is available through a special code provided by the manufacturer.

Additionally, the Lock Screen function aids maintenance without altering settings, and the system can create a .dat-file to store important data for service support.
