After operation, you can use the subfunction key ‘Y1Y2′ to change the manual control mode and  move the corresponding axis coordinate position, via subfunction keys ‘offset‘ set the offset values of the X-axis, Y1-axis, Y2-axis, and R-axis.   

3. Mould Key for Die Interface Management

Utilizing the ‘mould‘ key brings the die interface into focus, where users can set both upper and lower die parameters alongside material properties. This feature is crucial for ensuring the correct tooling is used, compatible with the material being bent, which ultimately influences the accuracy and quality of the final product. Proper usage of this key aids in avoiding errors and maintaining high-quality production standards.

4. IO Signal Key: Configuring Input/Output Settings

The ‘IO Signal’ key plays a crucial role in the configuration of input and output points within the machine’s system. By clicking this key, users gain access to the IO information and status interface, where they can manage the settings of IO points. This interface allows for the configuration of the pins used by these points, specifically focusing on adjusting their normally open or closed states. Such adjustments, which require the user to decode using the customer code, ensure seamless integration with other systems in a production line, ultimately preventing disruptions and maintaining smooth operations.

5. Program Key for Efficient Program Management

The ‘program’ key functions as a gateway to managing existing bending programs through the program interface. By clicking this key, users can read, modify, and delete programs, thereby streamlining workflows and ensuring efficient operation. This capability allows operators to effectively manage their program library, facilitating quick transitions between different bending tasks and optimizing machine uptime.

6. Parameter Key for Advanced Settings and User Decoding

The ‘parameter’ key provides access to an advanced configuration interface, allowing users to adjust machine settings to meet specific production requirements. By clicking this key, operators can perform user decoding (using the customer code as a password) through a subfunction key, facilitating secure operations such as U-disk management.

This feature ensures efficient data transfers and backups, which are essential for maintaining system integrity and adapting to diverse operational needs.

7. Alarm Key for Monitoring and Troubleshooting

The ‘alarm‘ key on the ET Series Interface provides immediate access to the machine’s alarm interface, where current alarm numbers and related information are displayed. By clicking this key, operators can quickly identify and address issues using the subfunction key, which enables user decoding, overdue decodings, and other critical operations. This proactive approach to monitoring not only helps in quickly resolving potential problems but also reduces downtime and extends the lifespan of machine components by preventing minor issues from escalating.

8. Compensation Key: Adjustments for Precision

Precision is paramount in bending operations, and the ET Series Interface plays a crucial role in achieving it through the Compensation key. By clicking this key, users can enter the compensation interface, where they can view and adjust theoretical and actual compensation values across various axes, including X theory, X actual measurement, Y1 theory, Y1 actual measurement, Y2 theory, Y2 actual measurement, R theory, R actual measurement, Z1 theory, Z1 actual measurement, Z2 theory, Z2 actual measurement, and angle compensation values for different materials.

This comprehensive display allows operators to tailor the machine’s actions to the specific demands of the materials being worked on. Additionally, the interface supports user decoding (using a customer code) and provides functionalities like deleting rows, inserting new data, clearing columns, and switching through subfunction keys, ensuring that every bend is as accurate and precise as possible.

Auxiliary Keyboard Description

1. Input Field for User Interface Navigation

The Input field serves a crucial role by displaying numbers and characters, enabling operators to interact effectively with the interface. This is where users input necessary data, such as dimensions or codes, which are then processed to execute bending operations with precision.

2. Reset Key for Clearing Alerts

Designed to maintain a smooth workflow, the Reset key clears any prompts that might obscure critical information in the information bar. It’s particularly useful for managing alarms and warnings, ensuring that the user interface remains uncluttered and operational procedures are uninterrupted.

3. Clear Key for Input Management

The Clear key is an indispensable tool for editing and correcting inputs quickly. Whether clearing a text box or an input field, this function ensures that operators can swiftly rectify mistakes, maintaining data accuracy and process efficiency.

4. Enter Key: Confirming Commands

In the ET Series Interface, the Enter key plays a fundamental role in executing commands and enhancing operational efficiency. As users input numbers, these characters are displayed in the input field. By pressing “Enter,” the data is swiftly moved from the input fields to their specified positions within the necessary functions. This process not only confirms inputs but also ensures fast and effective machine performance, streamlining operations seamlessly.
