If you’re aiming to enhance the performance of your DELEM DA-69S Machine Mode, you’re in the right place. I’ll explore key strategies to help you optimize this machine’s capabilities, enabling you to achieve top-tier efficiency in your metalworking operations. Whether you’re a seasoned expert or new to this advanced system, this guide will equip you with the knowledge you need to maximize your machine’s potential.

Introdução

The DELEM DA-69S controller is an integral part of modern Dobradeira operations, providing advanced functionalities and precision controls that are crucial for shaping and bending metal efficiently. Mastering its machine mode can significantly enhance production efficiency, reduce waste, and improve the overall quality of finished products.

Ensuring Accuracy and Consistency

Using the Protractor for Angle Accuracy

The protractor is essential for maintaining precise bending angles, which are critical in ensuring the quality and uniformity of your metalworking projects. To effectively use the protractor, it must be properly calibrated. Begin by verifying its alignment with a reliable angle reference.

With this parameter you can select a digital angle measuring device when the Protractor option has been installed.

Angle Measurement Device

• Not Used
• Mitutoyo 187-50x
• Mit.187-50x U-WAVE (Displayed if a wireless receiver is detected at start-up)
• Mitutoyo 187-50x IBR
• KEBA KeMes A205 (Displayed if a wireless receiver is detected at start-up)

This device is usable in production modes. Position the cursor in the alpha correction field or the pop-up window’s measured angle field. Press the transmit button on the device; the control will display the received angle. Press enter to accept, and the control will determine the necessary correction.

Auto Enter Corr. α

• Off: After measuring, the angle correction shows on the screen. The operator must select the correction field and press enter to apply it.
• On: The correction field is auto-selected. The correction from the measured angle is calculated and applied without manual input on the DA-control.

Angle Tolerance

Defines the maximum deviation allowed between the programmed and measured angles. If the deviation is too large, an error message will appear. With ‘Auto enter corr. ’ on, large deviations prevent automatic correction.

Angle Calculation

• 180-α: Measured as the supplement of the actual product angle.
• α: Measured as the actual product angle.

Regular calibration and utilization of the protractor help in maintaining accuracy across multiple projects.

Event Logging for Tracking Machine Performance and Errors

Event logging is a powerful tool for tracking machine performance and identifying errors that could compromise efficiency. It enables operators to monitor the health of the DELEM DA-69S and preemptively address issues. To leverage event logs effectively, access them through the machine’s interface, interpret any anomalies, and apply insights to troubleshoot or optimize system performance.

Setting Parameters

Event logging allows the registration of specific events on the control panel, storing them in text files for later review. These log files are beneficial for production management.

This page contains all parameters for the event logging function. The events that are logged can be assigned with the parameters on this page.

Event Logging: Toggle the event logging function on or off.

Filename: Enter a desired name for the log file; it will automatically have a ‘.txt’ extension added.

Path: Choose the directory for storing the log file, which can be on the DA-control’s internal memory, a USB stick, or a network drive. Use the Select Path function to choose the location.

Maximum File Size: Set a maximum log file size in kilobytes. When reached, the log file is renamed and closed, and a new one is created to continue logging.

The following parameters determine which events to log, and at least one must be activated:

Controller Start: Logs when the control is started.

Controller Stop: Logs when the control is stopped.

Step Change: Logs when the control advances to the next bend step.

Product Complete:
Logs when the final step of a bend program is completed.

Mode Change: Logs when a different mode is selected.

Error Message: Logs when an error message appears.

Understanding Explanatory Notes

Proper configuration of machine parameters is paramount. Familiarize yourself with the various settings and consult the explanatory notes within the system. These notes provide critical insights and understanding of how changes impact operations, ensuring that you’re making informed adjustments for optimal performance.

In DELEM DA-69S Machine Mode logs, the timestamp is formatted as

<log time=”20100129T122021.477″ event=”mode” mode=”1″/>

or:

<log time=”20100129T122034.464″ event=”start” prod=”EVENTLOG” step=”1″ stock=”32767″/>

The date follows the sequence of year-month-date, and the time follows hours-minutes-seconds-milliseconds, separated by a ‘T’. This precise timekeeping is crucial for accurate tracking of events.

Event Nature and Attributes: The log entry describes an event’s nature using a specific keyword, with associated attributes depending on the event type. Several event types are possible:

• Mode Change (mode): Signifies a change in the machine mode, with the mode attribute indicating whether the machine is in manual (1), programming (2), automatic (3), or step-by-step (4) mode.
• Step Change (step): Logs changes related to a specific bend step, including the product ID and step number.
• Control Start/Stop (start/stop): Marks the start or stop of a control process, detailing the product ID, step number, and stock counter.
• Product Complete (prod_rdy): Indicates a completed product with its ID and stock count.
• Error Message (error): Captures errors with a specific error number for troubleshooting the DELEM DA-69S Machine Mode.

Attribute Keywords: Attributes within the log entries use keywords like mode, step, prod, stocke error to detail the specific characteristics of an event.

Log File Size Management: Each log line is around 50 bytes. With a 10 KB file size, roughly 200 events can be stored. For extensive event tracking, using an external USB or network storage is recommended, as the control system supports a maximum file size of 1 megabyte (1000 KB).

To effectively utilize the DELEM DA-69S Machine Mode, understanding and managing these log files is vital. This enables better tracking of operations and aids in maintaining optimal machine performance.
