⒉Programming

The device has two programming methods, which are single-step programming and multi-step programming. User can set up programming according to actual demand.

①Single-step programming

Single-step programming is generally used for processing single step to finish work piece processing. When controller is power on, it will automatically enter single-step program page.

Operation steps

Step 1 After starting up, the device will enter setting up page of single-step program automatically, as shown in Figure.

 ⒉Multi-step programming

Multi-step program is used for processing single work piece of different processing steps, realize consecutive implementation of multi-steps, and improve processing efficiency.

Operation step

Step 1 Power on, the device enters to single-step parameter set up page automatically. 

Step 2 ClickE21 Operation Manual , switch to program manage page, as shown in Figure.

Operation example 

[Background] One work piece requires processing 50 as shown below; 

● First shear: 50mm; 

● Second shear: 100mm; 

● Third shear: 300mm;

[Analysis] according to work piece and technological conditions of machine tool: 

● First shear: X axle position is 50.0mm, concession 50mm; 

● The second shear: X axle position is 100.0mm, concession 50mm; 

● The third shear: X axle position is 300.0mm, concession 50mm; 

Edit processing program of this work piece on No. 2 program.

Operation procedure is shown in Table.

[Note]

● In completion of multi-step programming, you should back to starting step before launching the system; otherwise, the program will start position processing at current step. 

● Press left and right direction key to circulate page turning and browsing among all step parameters. 

● Program can be called and revised again. 

● In completion of processing all work pieces (50 in the example), the system stopsautomatically. Restart directly will start another round of processing 50 work pieces.
