Accurate calibration of the X-axis is crucial for achieving precise bending results. Follow these steps to set your XP to 25 mm and calibrate the X-axis for correct measurements. 1. Program and set XP to 25 mm:Calibration Process:
● On the controller, program the desired XP (back gauge position) value as 25 mm.
2. Run the machine:
● Once the XP is set, run the machine to begin the bending process
3. Measure the bent plate:
● After bending the plate, measure the actual length. In this case, the plate measures 24 mm, which is shorter than the target 25 mm.
4. Stop the machine:
● Click the red STOP button to halt operations temporarily.
5. Access the Calibration Menu:
● Double-click the P button on the controller to access the programming section.
6. Enter the password:
● When prompted for a password, enter 1212, then press the ENTER button to go to the TEACH page.
7. Calibrate the X-axis:
● On the TEACH page, select the first item (related to the X-axis calibration).
● Input the actual measured length (24 mm) in this field.
● Press the ENTER button to apply the calibration.
8. Return to the SINGLE page:
● Double-click the P button again to return to the SINGLE page.9. Re-test by bending another plate:
● Perform another bending operation and measure the plate.
● The length should now be 25 mm, which confirms the X-axis has been calibrated correctly.
By following these steps, you can successfully calibrate the X-axis on your E21 controller and achieve precise bending results. Ensure regular calibration to maintain accuracy and optimize machine performance.
