CybTouch 8 PS User Manual

Getting started with CybTouch 8

Depending on software evolutions and the press brake controlled by the CybTouch (configuration/capabilities), the present manual may not fully correspond to the CybTouch that you currently have. However, differences are only minor.

Touchscreens are pressure sensitive.

Do not press down hard on the screen.

Pressing hard on the screen will damage the display. Such damage is not covered by manufacturer warranty!

Do not use sharp and/or pointed objects (sheet metal, screwdriver, metal pen ball, etc.) to touch the screen; only use your fingers (with or without gloves on) or a plastic pen. Make sure that your gloves do not have metal particles encrusted in the finger tips as they may also damage the screen.

Take a few minutes to practice pressing gently on the screen, you will find that the screen is very reactive and it is pleasant to use.

Length Units

Show Y1-Y2 position values

Show page L-alpha num

Show bent part

This parameter allows choosing between mm, inch and none for the length unit to be used in the CybTouch.

When none is selected, the units are millimeters.

This function will display the Y1 and Y2 axes positions on the Bend Numerical Page (see page 14).

•When set to no, the position of axis Y1 is displayed during the beam’s movements.

•When set to yes1, the positions of the beam’s axes are displayed during the beam’s movements.

•When set to yes2, the positions of the beam’s axes are constantly displayed under the angle/beam’s position line.

This preference is only available if the machine is equipped with the TouchProfile Mode (optional) option. When set to yes, this parameter gives access to the L-Alpha Mode (see

page 27). This button is then displayed on the TouchProfile Mode (optional) page.

This preference is only available if the machine is equipped with the TouchProfile Mode (optional) option. This parameter, when activated, lets the operator see the state of the part before and after the bend in the Manual Bend Sequencing page.
