Introduction

When navigating the DELEM DA-58T Products Mode, it’s essential to understand how to efficiently utilize its features to streamline your production processes. In the Products Mode, you can select existing, previously produced products to either start production or modify them to create similar items.

La vue principale

In the DELEM DA-58T Products Mode, the main view provides a comprehensive overview of the program library on the control interface. Here’s how you can navigate and operate within this mode effectively:

• Load a Product Program: To begin, you can select (or load) a product program from the list presented. This allows you to either modify an existing program or execute it directly.
• Program Details: Each product listed includes essential details such as a thumbnail of the graphical product (or a symbol for numerical programs), the Product ID, Product Description, the number of bends, the type of product, and the date of its last use or modification. This information helps you quickly identify and choose the correct program for your needs.
• Product Types: The type indication helps categorize products, making it easier for you to select the appropriate program based on its properties and previous usage. The Type indication of the product shows following types of products:
  • P: the product has a CNC program, there is no drawing
  • -2D: the product consists of a 2D drawing, there is no CNC program
  • P2D: the product has a 2D drawing and a CNC program
• Active Program Identification: If a product program is currently active, its ID will be prominently displayed at the top of the screen for easy reference and management.
• Selecting Programs: You can load a program by tapping on the Product ID or any part of the product’s line in the list. This action selects and activates the program within the control system.
• Navigating Through Products: If the list contains more products than can be displayed on the screen, you can effortlessly scroll by dragging the list upward. Once your desired product is visible, a simple tap will select and activate it.

By familiarizing yourself with these steps, you can effectively manage and operate within the DELEM DA-58T Products Mode, ensuring smooth and efficient workflow management.

Sélection de produits

In the DELEM DA-58T Products Mode, selecting a product is straightforward; a single tap will suffice.

The product will be selected and loaded into the memory. From this point, production can be initiated by tapping Auto. Additionally, in the DELEM DA-58T Products Mode, you can navigate through various aspects such as the Product’s Drawing (if available), its Tool Setup, the Bend Sequence, and even delve into the numerical Program of the product.

Nouveau produit, démarrage d'un nouveau produit graphique

In the DELEM DA-58T Products Mode, to start a new graphical product, tap “New Product”. Once “New Product” is selected, the programming process begins by entering its general details, such as Product ID, Thickness, and Material.

Nouveau programme, démarrage d'un programme numérique

The DELEM DA-58T Products Mode also allows you to begin new numerical programs with ease.

To start a new numerical program, tap “New Program”. Once selected, the DELEM DA-58T interface guides you to input the program’s general details, such as the Product ID, Thickness, and Material. These important general settings are displayed on an initial tab, followed by successive tabs that are prepared for programming the first bend.

This intuitive process ensures you can efficiently set up and execute new numerical programs with the DELEM DA-58T, streamlining your workflow and enhancing productivity.

Modifier, copier et supprimer un produit ou un programme

In the DELEM DA-58T Products Mode, managing your product library is both intuitive and efficient.

To delete a product, simply select it by tapping. Once selected, tap ‘Edit’ and choose ‘Delete’. Confirm the prompt to finalize the deletion. If you wish to remove all products and programs at once, use the ‘Delete All’ option for a comprehensive clean-up.

To copy a product in the DELEM DA-58T Products Mode, start by selecting the desired product or program. Tap ‘Edit’ and then ‘Copy’. You can then program the name for the copied product. This copy will appear in the same directory and will be an exact duplicate, including all tool setups and bend sequences, if available.

This feature ensures that you can efficiently replicate and modify programs as needed, enhancing productivity and workflow management.

Product Lock/Unlock

In the DELEM DA-58T Products Mode, managing your product programs efficiently involves understanding key features such as the Product Lock/Unlock function. This essential feature offers a straightforward method to prevent accidental changes to finalized programs or products.

By using the Product Lock/Unlock function, you can ensure that products tuned to perfection remain unchanged unless intentionally modified. When you’re in edit mode, simply tap to switch the Lock Product/Unlock Product feature for each individual product or program, safeguarding your work within the DELEM DA-58T system.

Fonction de filtrage

To enhance your experience in navigating the DELEM DA-58T Products Mode, the filter function offers an efficient way to perform live searches throughout the product listings. By tapping the Filter option, a filter screen will appear, allowing you to type the desired search string, with the possibility of separating terms by spaces to refine your search dynamically.

Additionally, you can opt for a different view or adjust the specific property on which the filter is applied by using the Selection tool. This enables you to narrow down your search by Product ID or Product Description according to your preference.

You have the flexibility to enter a complete name or number, or simply part of it. If the partial input matches multiple product names, the control will display all relevant product names containing that fragment. Furthermore, combinations of names and numbers can also be used to expedite the search process.

This feature within the DELEM DA-58T ensures that locating and managing product programs is both intuitive and efficient, streamlining your operational workflow.

Changer de répertoire

To navigate to a different product directory or create a new one, use the “Change Directory” option within the DELEM DA-58T interface. If you need to remove an outdated directory, select it and tap “Remove Directory”.

Once you choose your desired directory, tap “Select” to return to the Products screen. This will display all products within the chosen directory. The current active local directory name is displayed in the header for easy reference.

Gestion des sous-répertoires: The DELEM DA-58T allows for the removal of existing subdirectories, provided they are empty. To create a new subdirectory, tap “Make Subdir” and enter the new name. Subdirectories are located under the local directory ‘DELEM\PRODUCTS’, and their names cannot be changed once set.

Copying Limitations: Note that you cannot copy products from one subdirectory to another in this menu; this action can only be performed in Drawing mode or Program mode.

Directory and Product Memory: When you exit the product selection menu, the DELEM DA-58T will remember the active subdirectory and the selected product (if applicable) until a new directory or product is selected. This feature aids in maintaining continuity and efficiency in operations.

Network product selection (only available when Network option has been installed)

In the DELEM DA-58T with the network option installed, you can access a network directory that is mounted within the control. This mounted directory is available under Network, adjacent to the Product directory when using the change directory option. The name of the mounted drive signifies its availability for product selection and storage.

You can navigate through network directories using the directory browser. These directories can be selected, added, or removed to facilitate product selection. Once you reach the desired directory, tapping “Select” will return you to the Products screen, displaying all available products. The network directory then becomes the active local directory, with its name appearing in the screen’s header.

The DELEM DA-58T remembers the active subdirectory and selected product (if any) even when you exit the product selection menu. If you are working with a “read-only” network or if the network connection is interrupted, the product will be saved in the “Recovered” subdirectory, which can be accessed under Products.
