Understanding the ET Series Manual Mode is crucial for anyone using the full electric servo bending machine, especially if your goal is to optimize your workflow with precision and efficiency. When you think about mastering the numerical control system of these advanced machines, you’re probably looking for guidance on the manual mode’s functionalities and benefits.

In this article, I’ll walk you through the essential features of the ET Series Manual Mode, providing you with the knowledge you need to operate the machine confidently and effectively. Whether you’re an experienced operator or new to servo bending machines, this guide will equip you with the insights necessary to make the most of your ET Series bending machine.

Understanding the ET Series Manual Mode

The ET Series Manual Mode is a feature in full electric servo bending machines that allows manual control of axis movements. It provides greater precision and control during bending operations, making it ideal for custom work and high-precision projects.

Manual mode offers flexibility, allowing operators to fine-tune movements to achieve desired outcomes. It is particularly useful in complex bending operations where automated presets may not yield the best results.

Getting Started with ET Series Manual Mode

Step 1: Accessing the Manual Interface

To access the manual interface, click ‘manuale‘. This will enable you to enter the manual mode, where you can select different manual speeds for operation.

Step 2: Selecting Manual Speed Options

Once in the manual interface, you can toggle between low, medium, and high speeds using the shift sub function key. Press the arrows above and below the corresponding axis to move it up and down. Select appropriate speeds based on the complexity and delicacy of the task at hand.

Operating the ET Series Manual Mode

Controlling Axis Movement

In manual control mode, the Y / Y1 / Y2 axis can be operated to move the corresponding axis coordinate position by converting the manual control mode through the subfunction keys ‘Y1Y2‘ and ‘Y‘ (it can be switched only after the user decodes). These allow you to adjust the axis position accurately, ensuring precise alignment and bends.

Utilizing Handwheel Mode

The handwheel mode offers three gear options—X1, X10, X100. Use the external handwheel’s switch to control the shaft selection and rotate it forward or backward to position the shaft as needed.

Advanced Features of ET Series Manual Mode

Setting Machine Tool Coordinates

• X/ Y1/ Y2/ R/ Z1/ Z2 machine tool coordinate: display the current machine tool coordinate value of X/ Y1/ Y2/ R/ Z1/ Z2 axis. 

• X/ Y1/ Y2/ R/ Z1/ Z2 absolute coordinate: display the current absolute coordinate value of X/ Y1/ Y2/ R/ Z1/ Z2 axis. 

This feature helps in monitoring and adjusting positions effectively during operations.

Understanding Pressure Settings

You can set die pressure tonnage and view the pressure tonnage for each axis (P1 for Y1 and P2 for Y2) on the manual interface, ensuring the desired force application.

• P1: display the pressure tonnage of Y1 axis bending plate. 

• P2: display the pressure tonnage of the bending plate of Y2 axis. 

• P1 + P2: display the pressure tonnage of the bending plate of the current Y1 axis and Y2 axis. 

• X-axis return to zero: X-axis returns to the mechanical zero point. 

• Y-axis return to zero: Y-axis returns to the mechanical zero point. 

Sub Function Description

The ET Series Manual Mode includes several important sub-functions:

• User Decoding: Access and modify parameters using a customer code for customization.
• Y Integration: Switch to an integrated Y-axis mode for synchronized movements.
• Y Separation: Operate the Y-axis independently for complex bending tasks.
• Reset the Origin: Clear the origin mark to recalibrate the reference point before each bending operation for precision.

These features ensure flexibility and precision, enhancing the capabilities of the ET Series Manual Mode.

Manutenzione e risoluzione dei problemi

Regular maintenance is key to the smooth operation of your Full Electric Servo Bending Machine, and mastering the ET Series Manual Mode can make this process more efficient.

Controlli di routine: Regularly inspect the machine for debris, ensure all surfaces are level, and verify that components are securely in place to prevent errors.

Fixing Inaccuracies: If you encounter inaccurate bends or mechanical issues, use the ET Series Manual Mode to recalibrate the axes and adjust pressure settings for precise control.

Origin Reset: Sometimes, resetting the machine’s origin is necessary for accurate calibration. Manual Mode allows easy adjustments to ensure consistency and precision.

These strategies, combined with effective use of the ET Series Manual Mode, can enhance your machine’s performance. For further assistance, contact our support team or explore our documentation for detailed guidance.
