The users must have Read and UndeRstood, but most of all must Respect the
directives described in this manual.
All people coming into contact with the machine on which the numerical
control is installed, whatever their function or whatever state the machine is in
(assembly, disassembly, start-up, production, maintenance, repairs) must have
read and understood the requirements concerning the security and the entirety
of the directives of operation described in the manuals delivered with the
machine.
The operator must be properly trained to work with the machine
on which the numerical control is installed. Improper use of the
numerical control can cause heavy damage on equipment and/or
injuries to people.
Modification of machine parameters can cause important material damage or
lead to irregular product quality.
Do not expose the numerical control to excessive humidity so as to avoid any
risk of electrocution and any deterioration of the equipment.
Make sure the numerical control is disconnected from the mains power before
carrying out any cleaning. Do not use liquids based on alcohol or ammoniac.
In case of malfunction of the numerical control, call a technician.
Do not expose the numerical control to direct sun rays or any other heat source.
Do not place the numerical control in the neighborhood of magnetic equipment
such as transformers, motors or devices which generate interference (welding
machines, etc.)

Available
functions on the
More page
The More page displays parameters related to the part, and depending on the CybTouch
configuration and the type of action performed, it also displays various settings for the
current bend.
Material
This is not a sequence parameter, but of course a part parameter. Each touch on the
material’s name selects the next available from the list of Materials (see page 7).
Material thickness
The default thickness, defined in Materials (see page 7), is automatically displayed
when changing material. It is however possible to change it simply by touching this icon.
This is also of course a part parameter.
Material sigma
The default sigma, defined in Materials (see page 7), is automatically displayed when
changing material. It is however possible to change it simply by touching this icon. This is
also of course a part parameter.
Back gauge retraction
The back gauge retraction can be activated/deactivated at its Default retraction (see
page 8) value using this icon. It is possible to modify the value by touching it. This is a
sequence parameter, meaning it can be modified with each step of the program.
Speed change threshold and bending speed
The distance parameter allows the operator to increase the height of the speed change
point. The speed parameter allows decreasing the bending speed from its maximum value
defined in the machine parameters.
Bending length
This parameter defines the width of the sheet metal part that will be pinched between the
tools. It is used to calculate the bending pressure.
If this parameter is not activated (gray), the CybTouch will not calculate the
bending Force and the Crowning.
Sept.
15/38

V3.1
CybTouch 12 PS User Manual
Step bending
When a large radius bend has been programmed (see L-Alpha Mode, page 27), its
parameters are displayed here. It is possible to modify them directly here.
Programming 99 x will automatically calculate the maximum possible step bends. The
resulting value may be reduced. However, if it is increased over the maximum calculated
value, the resulting radius and angle will be drastically affected.
The large radius bending function is deactivated when this field is grayed.
Slow speed return
This parameter allows slowing down the speed of the beam after the bend, and is
generally used when the part has a long flange and the operator tries not to let it “fall
down too fast”.
The beam will return at low speed up while the operator holds the foot pedal. It switches
to high speed up when either the pedal is released or Pinch Point is reached, whichever
comes first.
When this field is deactivated (grayed), the beam moves back up directly at HSU
(High Speed Up).
Dwell time
Allows defining the duration of the dwell time, meaning the time during which the punch
remains at BDC before coming back up.
When this field is deactivated (grayed), the default Dwell Time value defined in
the machine parameters is applied.
16/38
Sept.
2014
V3.1
Force
The force is automatically calculated by the CybTouch, according to the Material, the
Material thickness, the Material sigma and the Bending length. The value can also be
manually modified here.
CybTouch 12 PS User Manual
Opening (TDC)
For parts created with a profile (see TouchProfile Mode or L-Alpha Mode), this value is
automatically calculated to allow the operator enough room to extract its bent part from
between the tools. It is however possible to change it manually.
For part created manually (see Numerical Mode), this parameter uses the default
minimum value defined in the machine parameters. It can however be programmed here.
Creating a “New part” reinitializes it to its default value.
When this field is deactivated (grayed), the beam moves back all the way up to
its maximum limit switch.
Crowning
The crowning function is activated here. It is automatically calculated, according to
the Material, the Material thickness, the Material sigma and the Bending length. If the
crowning needs correction, use the Crowning (see page 29) function in the correction
page.
The value can be manually changed by operator. It will however be automatically
recalculated if any of the values used for its calculation is changed.
When the crowning function is deactivated (gray icon), the crowning system
physically remains to its last position and does not automatically return to
0.0 mm. Keep that in mind when using this function – or not – between one
sequence and the following.
Back gauge finger type
The back gauge dimensions are defined in the machine parameters. This function allows
browsing through the available support and stop positions of the back gauge. This
function may be available, or not, according to the machine configuration.
Number of parts
The operator can enter here the total amount of parts to be produced. Every time all
the sequences of the program are executed, hence a part is completed, this counter is
decreased of one unit. When the amount of parts is reached, a yellow pop-up window
signals it to the operator.
Back gauge manual control
Activating this parameter gives manual control over the back gauge movement. This
means the operator must personally give the start to the back gauge movement, using for
example the foot switch or the start button.
