On controllers like the DA-66T or DA-69T, accurate data entry ensures that the machine follows the correct parameters, minimizing errors and improving efficiency. Properly storing product information allows for quick recall of settings, reducing setup time for repeat orders. Verifying all inputs before operation helps maintain high precision, consistency, and quality in the metal bending process.

2D Graphic Programming

2D Graphic Programming is an essential feature in CNC press brakes that allows operators to visually design and simulate bending sequences before actual production. Using controllers like DA-66T or DA-69T, users can create a 2D representation of the metal sheet, define bending angles, select tooling, and preview the bending process. This intuitive interface helps in error detection, material positioning, and optimizing the bending order to prevent collisions. By programming in 2D, operators can achieve higher precision, reduce material waste, and improve efficiency in metal fabrication. This method simplifies setup and enhances production accuracy.

Choose Toolings

Choosing the right toolings is a crucial step in CNC press brake operations, as it directly impacts bending accuracy, efficiency, and material quality. Operators must select the appropriate punch and die based on material thickness, bending angle, and desired bend radius. Using the DA-66T or DA-69T controller, users can input tooling specifications to ensure compatibility with the programmed bending sequence. Factors such as tool hardness, V-die width, and punch shape must be considered to prevent material deformation and tool wear. Proper tooling selection enhances bending precision, reduces setup time, and extends machine lifespan nella fabbricazione dei metalli.

Graphical Simulation

Graphical simulation is a powerful feature in CNC press brake controllers like DA-66T and DA-69T, allowing operators to visualize the entire bending process before execution. This function provides a 2D or 3D representation of the bending sequence, ensuring that the programmed angles, tooling setup, and material positioning are correct. It helps identify potential errors, collisions, or misalignments before actual production, reducing material waste and improving efficiency. By simulating the bending operation, operators can optimize the bending sequence, adjust parameters in real-time, and achieve higher precision, ensuring consistent and high-quality results in metal fabrication.

Measure The Bending Angles In Three Positions: Left, Middle And Right

To ensure bending accuracy and consistency, operators must measure the bending angles in three positions: left, middle, and right. This step helps identify any deviations, misalignment, or uneven pressure distribution across the workpiece. Using an angle gauge or digital protractor, measurements should be taken at each position to confirm uniformity. If variations are detected, adjustments may be needed in crowning, tool selection, or CNC controller settings (DA-66T/DA-69T). Regularly checking bending angles in multiple positions ensures precision, reduces rework, and improves overall bending quality, leading to efficient and accurate metal fabrication results.

Measured At 135°

After completing the bending process, the angle was measured at 135°, confirming the precision of the press brake operation. Using a digital protractor or angle gauge, the measurement ensures that the bend meets the required specifications. If the angle deviates, adjustments in bending force, material positioning, or compensation settings may be necessary. The DA-66T or DA-69T controller allows operators to fine-tune the parameters to achieve the desired result. Regular angle measurement and verification are essential to maintain high accuracy, reduce errors, and improve efficiency in metal bending and fabrication processes.

Part 7: 3D Graphic Programming（Only for DA-69T）

3D Graphic Programming

3D Graphic Programming is an advanced feature in CNC press brake controllers like DA-66T and DA-69T, allowing operators to visualize and simulate the entire bending process in a three-dimensional view. This technology enables users to define bending sequences, select tooling, and detect potential collisions before executing the program. By interacting with a realistic 3D model, operators can optimize bending angles, backgauge positions, and material flow, ensuring higher accuracy and efficiency. The ability to preview the bending process reduces errors, material waste, and setup time, making 3D graphic programming essential for precision metal fabrication.

Part 8: Offline Software

Software offline

Software offline is a powerful tool that allows operators to program and simulate CNC press brake operations without interrupting machine production. With controllers like DA-66T and DA-69T, users can create bending programs, select tooling, and optimize bending sequences on a computer workstation before transferring the data to the press brake. This enhances workflow efficiency, reduces setup time, and minimizes production downtime. Additionally, offline programming helps detect collisions, bending errors, and material misalignment in advance, ensuring precise results. By using offline software, metal fabrication companies can improve productivity, accuracy, and machine utilization for high-performance bending operations.

Part 9: Switch Off

Step The Foot Pedal to Lower the Punch Against The Die

To initiate the bending process on a pressa piegatrice CNC, the operator must step on the foot pedal to lower the punch against the die. This action activates the hydraulic or servo system, guiding the upper punch downward with controlled force. The DA-66T or DA-69T controller ensures precise depth and pressure based on programmed settings. It is crucial to maintain steady foot control to prevent sudden force application, which could lead to bending inconsistencies. Proper foot pedal operation helps achieve accurate bends, minimizes errors, and enhances operator safety during metal fabrication.

Press Stop Button

In CNC press brake operations, pressing the Stop button is a critical function that immediately halts the machine’s movement, ensuring operator safety and preventing potential damage. This button can be used in case of an emergency, misalignment, or incorrect bending sequence. On controllers like DA-66T or DA-69T, stopping the machine allows operators to reassess settings, make adjustments, or troubleshoot issues before resuming work. It is essential to familiarize yourself with the stop function to ensure quick reaction times when needed. Proper use of the Stop button migliora machine safety, accuracy, and overall efficiency nelle operazioni di piegatura dei metalli.

Switch Off the Pump

To properly shut down a pressa piegatrice CNC, è essenziale switch off the hydraulic pump once operations are complete. The pump is responsible for generating hydraulic pressure, which powers the bending process. Turning it off helps prevent unnecessary wear, reduces energy consumption, and ensures machine longevity. Before switching off, ensure that the press brake is in a safe position, and no active commands are running on the DA-66T or DA-69T controller. Regularly shutting down the pump correctly helps maintain system efficiency, prolongs component lifespan, and ensures a safe working environment for operators.

Press The Emergency Stop Buttons

IL Emergency Stop (E-Stop) button is a crucial safety feature on a pressa piegatrice CNC, designed to immediately halt all machine operations in case of an emergency. Pressing the E-Stop instantly cuts off power to the hydraulic system, preventing potential damage to the machine, tooling, or workpiece. Operators should use this button in situations like misalignment, unexpected movement, or safety hazards. On controllers such as DA-66T or DA-69T, restarting the machine after an E-Stop requires resetting the system. Knowing when and how to use the Emergency Stop button ensures operator safety and machine protection during metal fabrication.

Turn Off the Power Switch

After completing the bending process, it is essential to turn off the power switch to safely shut down the pressa piegatrice CNC. This step helps prevent electrical hazards, conserve energy, and protect machine components from unnecessary wear. Before switching off, ensure that all bending operations are completed, IL hydraulic pump is turned off, and the controller (DA-66T or DA-69T) is properly exited. Operators should follow standard shutdown procedures to avoid system errors when restarting. Regularly turning off the power switch after use helps maintain machine longevity, enhances safety, and ensures an efficient working environment.
