SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
The operator must be trained for working 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.
The rear panel may only be removed by a qualified
technician (danger of electrocution).
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 neighbour-
hood of magnetic equipment such as transformers,
motors or devices which generate interference (welding machines, etc.)
Replace fan filters at regular intervals so as to avoid
overheating.

The EASY BEND page is accessible by hitting the key.
This page makes it possible to quickly programme a bend, and/or briefly stop
production to perform a single bend without modifying or losing data in the
production programme.
PROGRAMMING A BEND
Enter the thickness and the tools if they differ from the product in the
course of production.
To speed up programming, the p/m fields as well as the material are
taken over from sequence 1 of the product currently in hand. The
modification of these data does not affect the programme that is running.
Enter the angle of the bend in the

EXPLANATION OF THE FIELDS

PAGE 6 USER GUIDE DU 6000
CREATING A PRODUCT
This paragraph explains how to programme a product as well as the method
for correcting and recording it.
THE SEQUENCE PAGE
This page displays all the bending information for the current sequence.
That is the requested position of the Y and X (R, etc.) axes, the pressure, the
gauge retraction, the crowning, the dwell time, etc.
Important This page displays the result of the calculations made when programming a
product in the L-alpha page with definition of the bending order.
The operator can modify these values if necessary (especially the retraction,
the dwell time, the top dead centre).
However he must avoid directly modifying the Y and X values calculated by
the DNC.
If modifications should be necessary for these axes, the correction page has
to be used.
HintAn operator can directly programme a product in this page, without "pass-
ing" through the L-alpha page and definition of the bending order.
This simplifies the manipulations a great deal, since all the information required for the bending are on this page.
To reach the sequence page, press the
The first press displays the dimensions page in large characters.
A second press displays all the dimensions and functions of the current sequence in small characters.
This page is displayed during the powering-on of the DNC.

PROGRAMMING ON THE SEQUENCE PAGE
In this guide, it is considered that the DNC is configured so as to be operational (i.e. machine and tool parameters programmed).
The operator has 2 methods available for programming.
The faster
Direct programming.
Direct programming is the faster method for an experienced operator, because all the programming of the product is done on the same page. This
makes it possible to programme the positions of the axes directly, and it calculates the depth of bending according to the angle entered.
With calculation of the development
The L-Alpha method.
The L-alpha method makes it possible to enter a profile to bend with the external dimensions and angle of each face. The DNC will calculate the developed length:
After having programmed the sequence of bends, the DNC will calculate the
position of the gauges.
