Manual version V0404

PREFACE

This manual describes the operation of the Delem controller type DA-69W and is meant for
operators who are instructed for operation of the total machine.
Only authorised people should be able to create new or edit existing programs, as well as pro­gramming or editing of the tooldata. Therefore the controller has a keyswitch to prevent
uncontrolled programming. With the keyswitch in the off position the operator can only exe­cute a selected program. The operator cannot change the parameters to wrong, unwanted val­ues.

1.5. Graphical programming

From the main menu you can select one of the programming possibilities.
In order to design or edit a new product, the graphical programming facility is present.
This facility is a complete product design tool that allows you to draw the profile of your prod­uct. It consists of a machine-and tool-library which allows you fast automatic, interactive or
manual bending sequence computations with display of possible product/tool/machine colli­sions and developed length.
The graphic design tool provides a way of selecting the most optimal bend sequence for a
product, keeping in mind the minimum production time and manipulation possibilities of the

- Turnfunction for 3D-products

and to turn over the vertical axis

and to turn over the horizontal axis

- Drawing cursor control for 2D-products

In case you are drawing the profile of your product or tools the cursor keys can be used to give
directly multiples 45 degree angles. e.g.:

a = 135°

a = 45°

a = -90°

a = 90°

- Horizontal or vertical projections for 2D-products

After you entered the length of the line interval you can specify if this line interval is either the
nominal length, horizontal or vertical projection. The given length dimension in the enter field
is the line length L if the drawing cursor is in the concerning line.

Horizontal projection with or key

Vertical projection with or key

V0404, 1.13

L is normal entered line length
V is vertical projected line length
H is horizontal projected line length

It will be noted on the screen if projection is not possible.

1.6. Ethernet

The CNC control is equipped with a network interface. The network function offers the opera­tors the possibility to import product files directly from the network directories or to export the
finished product files to the required network directory.

1.e

Chapter 7 contains more information about networking possibilities.

1.7. Software versions

The version of the software in your control is displayed at the upper side of the menu screen in
the programming mode.

Example of version number:

2. Product drawing/Product edit for 2-dimensional products

2.1. Introduction

With Menu selection 1 you can draw a new product.
With Menu selection 2 you can make changes in an existing product.
On this page you have to enter first the product number and then the drawing number. The
drawing number may also contain alphanumeric characters, which can be entered with the help
of the function key ‘alphanum’ (S6).
If an existing product number is entered, a warning appears that this product already exists.
You are asked whether to replace that existing product with the new product or not. If you
choose ‘yes', the existing product is erased. If you choose ‘no', you must enter a new number.
The "±" key prompts a "-" character and the "." key prompts a "/" character in the drawing
number.

2.a

If 3D is available on the control, it is first required to confirm whether the drawing program­ming will be effectuated in 2D or 3D. 3D drawing is explained in chapter 3.
After finishing this input you have to enter specific product data. Then you can start drawing
the product.
In the edit mode you also have the possibility to make a copy of the active product. A special
function key ‘copy product’ appears.

Press the key to select the required setting.

2.c

After entering the general product data the drawing screen appears. In the upper information
row you will find the information about product number, drawing number and inside/outside
dimensions selection.
You create now the bending profile of the product. First you enter the value of the basic length
of the product. Then you enter the angle of the next side followed by the length of that side.
This procedure continues until the product has the desired profile. A circle indicates the actual
position. With the cursor control keys you move this circle to an other position (angle or
length). During the drawing of the profile of the product the graphical software always dis­plays the product at relative scale.

2.d

For creating the product drawing you have to enter the length of a line and the angle to bend or
you can use the cursorkeys for angles of multiple 45 degrees.

V0404, 2.3

In ‘product drawing’ or ‘product edit’ of a 2D product you can program up to a maximal of 25
bendings per product (graphical programming).

These functions will be explained in the sections as indicated in the abovementioned overview.

V0404, 2.4

Delem

2.2. Delete an angle/line or insert an angle

The function of softkey (S1) depends on the position of the drawing cursor.

- If the cursor is within a line segment, it is possible to insert a new angle to bend, in com­bination with the enter key.

- If the cursor is positioned on a bend, it is possible to delete that bend.

- If the cursor is at an end line of the product, the line can be deleted.

2.3. Precision selection

When the drawing cursor (small circle) is on a line segment, with S2 high precision or closing
dimension can be selected. With S2 these functions will be toggled giving 3 possibilities (high
precision - closing dimension - normal situation).

2.e

- High precision:

At bend sequence computation the backgauge stop position will be chosen to get the highest
possible precision of this line interval.

- Closing dimension:

At bend sequence computation the backgauge stop position will be chosen to get the resulting
tolerances in this line interval.

V0404, 2.5

Example:

2.f

Line interval marked with the open circle should be, if possible, directly placed between back
stop and the centre of the die.

Notes:

Specifying line intervals with high precision and closing dimensions may result in longer pro­duction time.
Also it will have priority over the "front extend ratio", if that is set to "comply if possible". See
section 2.5.
