Parâmetros de curvatura

Método:

Selecione o método de dobra desejado. O controle suporta os seguintes métodos padrão:

• curva de ar

• fundo

• bainha

• bainha e bainha

• manuseio

Bend methods:

bottoming

hemming

hemming & bottoming

handling

No movement of the Y-axis, so the current program step becomes a non-bending step. Only the backgauge axes will position according to the programmed values, e.g. in order to enable handling of the product. An external step change (C-input) is required

Nota 1

The hemming bends are shown here with a special hemming punch, but this is not required.

Nota 2

When bottoming operation is selected, the end of bend position of the Y-axis beam depends

on the working force. If however the force is sufficient for the beam to go to the calculated

Y-axis end of bend position, the beam stroke will be limited by the position value.

Método de deflexão

dynamic =>The crowning will be controlled automatically in real-time during the bending, applying the proper corrections when needed. non-dynamic =>The crowning will behave as a standard hydraulic crowning; there won’t be real-time corrections.

Comprimento de curvatura

Length of the sheet between tools.

Effective bend length

The effective length of the sheet between tools, which is used for the calculation of the force and the crowning device (if present). This effective bend length is calculated from the product geometry; for additional bends and simultaneous bends this calculated value is the sum of the separate bend line lengths.

Posição do produto

O valor absoluto da posição do produto na direção Z. O lado esquerdo da máquina é a posição de referência zero.

Preferred radius

The intended radius which is programmed. As initial value the programmed product thickness is used for default radius calculation. This radius can also be a larger radius requiring large radius tools.

Ângulo

The required angle of this bend. This parameter only appears if angle programming is selected with the parameter ‘Angle sel.’ and the bend method is an air bend.

Abertura da bainha

A dobra da bainha pode ser feita com uma certa distância de abertura entre os dois flanges. O valor da abertura da bainha será usado para calcular a posição da viga no processo de bainha. Por padrão, este parâmetro tem o valor do parâmetro "Abertura Padrão da Bainha" do modo Configurações.

Bainha rápida

When fast hemming has been enabled, the Y-axis will move at high speed down as soon as it is below the top of the die, until the hemming load opening has been reached. This will reduce the cycle time, especially in case of hemming with a U-die. Only available when enabled by the machine manufacturer.

Y-axis (Bend position)

The required Y-axis position for this bend. This parameter only appears if absolute programming is selected with the parameter ‘Angle sel.’ This parameter also appears if the bend method is bottoming and/or hemming.

Mudo

Sequence point at which the Y-axis is switched from fast closing speed to pressing speed. The value programmed here is the distance of the mute point above the sheet. By default, the mute value from the programmed die is used. Whether or not this parameter is present depends on machine settings.

Paralelo

Difference of left- and right hand side cylinder (Y1 and Y2). When positive, right hand side lower. When negative, right hand side higher. The programmed value is active below the clamping point.

Abertura

This parameter results in a certain gap opening between the punch and the die after the bend. A positive value is the gap opening above Mute, a negative value below Mute. When you want to limit the handling time of the product you can program a small positive or a negative value.

Vigor

Vigor

Maximum adjusted force during pressing (automatically computed).

Tempo de permanência

Holding time of punch at bending point.

Descompressão

Decompression distance after the bending to release the working pressure from the system.The decompression distance can optionally be set to a specific point in the cycle. Standard the decompression distance is computed, the value which is minimal required. Optionally one can chose for Mute, the calculated mute point, or Clamp, the calculated clamping point. Both options have a longer distance than the calculated one.

Velocidade

Velocidade

Working speed (pressing speed). Initially, the value for this parameter is copied from the parameter Default Pressing Speed in the Settings mode.

Velocidade de decomposição

A velocidade de descompressão é a velocidade programável do feixe durante a distância de descompressão.

Funções

Repetition Settings
In DELEM DA-66S product programming, you can control how often a bend is performed. Setting the repetition to 0 skips the bending. Set it between 1 and 99 for repeated bending.

Wait for Retract
Determine if the Y-axis should wait during a retract.

• No: The Y-axis continues past the clamping point without stopping.
• Yes: The Y-axis stops at the clamping point until retract is complete before moving forward.

Code Settings
Programmable step change codes dictate when new parameters take effect:

• ER: Changes at the end of decompression.
• MUTE: Changes at muting position during beam opening.
• UDP: Changes at upper dead point.
• UDP STOP: Changes at upper dead point, halting all movements.
• EXTERNAL: Changes upon C-input signal activation, with no beam movement.
• UDP EXTERNAL: Changes with C-input signal at upper dead point, allowing beam and retract movement.
• UDP PST: Changes at the upper dead point when part supports return to zero, applicable if part support is present.

Delay Time
Delay time sets how long to wait before a step change, ranging from 0 to 30 seconds.

By mastering these settings, you’ll optimize DELEM DA-66S product programming for precision and efficiency.
