5 Operation and handling

5.1 General instructions

Caution
Damage to property due to severe vibrations
Severe vibrations of the device (e.g. if the device drops to the ground) may damage the electronics and the precision measurement unit or destroy the device.
In any case, verification of the measurement results is required afterward, e.g. using a reference angle.
If the device is damaged, the device must no longer be used and must be sent to our service partner for repair.
Caution
Condensation of humidity in the device
Do not expose the device to high humidity for an extended period of time.
If a cold device is brought into a significantly warmer environment (e.g. after extended transport in a cold environment), condensation moisture may form in the device. Before using the device, you must wait until the temperature of the de­vice is the same as the room temperature and the moisture has evapo­rated.
The materials and surfaces of measured objects used in practice are highly varied, meaning that the manufacturer cannot make exhaustive suitability specifications despite extensive test series. Therefore, before carrying out qualified measurements, the user must check for suitability and sufficient ac­curacy of the measured object for the specific purpose in combination with the respective materials and usage conditions.
For practical use of the measurement device, be aware that the surfaces of the workpiece scanned by the laser along with its respective reflective prop­erties form a functional part of the overall measurement system and thus in­fluence the actually achievable accuracy. The achievable accuracy is also affected by proper handling of the measurement device as well as by the en­vironmental conditions; also refer to Chapter "Technical data".
The following items can have an influence on measurement precision and repeat accuracy and must be observed:
Alignment of the device with the workpiece: The longitudinal axis of
the housing of KeMes A100 must be aligned parallel to the bending edge and tilted as little as possible in order to be symmetrical between

A100Operation and handling
the two legs of the workpiece. Observe a minimum distance of 20 mm between the mirror and the workpiece surface. The measured distance to both legs should be equal if possible.
Poor planarity: Unevenness on the surface of the leg being measured must be prevented.
Non-homogeneity of the reflective properties: Different, reflective properties of the legs being measured on the test specimen (e.g. soiling, scratches, coating, discoloration, oils, welding chips, patches of corro­sion, etc.) must be prevented. If necessary, the test piece must be cleaned, or the selection of the measurement field must be changed.
Soiling: Soiling on mirror and lens of the device must be prevented.
Vibrations: If a measurement takes place on a machine, the legs of thin sheets have the tendency to vibrate or reverberate when relaxing. Make sure that the sheet metal legs do not vibrate during the measurement operation.
Unrelaxed angle: When measuring at the machine, make sure that the bending tool has been lifted sufficiently and the legs of the angle are re­laxed. The setting of the press brake for decompression must be ad­justed as necessary.
Deformations due to gravity: In case of thin sheets with legs of equal length, elastic deformation can be caused by its own weight, depending on the position of the sheet, therefore changing the angle compared to an unloaded state.
External magnetic fields: Make sure there are no generators of mag­netic fields (e.g. electric drives) within a distance of 10 cm.
Strong external light sources: There should be no light sources (e.g. infrared lamps, other laser devices, strong reflections of the own laser beam and high-frequency LED lightings) in the surrounding area of the device.
Condensation: Condensation on the surface of, e.g. test piece, lens, mirror must be prevented. Slow adjustment to the ambient temperature is necessary.

2)
If the value is too high, the motion of the press beam may no longer be de-
tected; at a value that is too low, faulty triggering is possible. Use in the "Ma-
chine" operating mode in "move down" and "move up" mode
3)
The lower the value, the earlier a motion of the press beam will trigger the measurement operation. Use in the "Machine" operating mode in "motion", "MachineS" or "MachineE" mode
4)
The lower the value, the earlier a fluctuating angle value will be ranked as stable. The measurement is ended as soon as a stable angle has been de­tected and the press beam has moved upward.

5.3 Operating modes

The following operating modes are available:
Manual (manual operating mode)
Machine (automatic operating mode)
MachineS (automatic operating mode)
MachineE (automatic operating mode)

5.3.1 Manual

In "Manual" operating mode, the angle is measured by hand. For an exact measurement result, it is recommended that the enclosed measuring aid be used and that the device be held as still as possible.
The measuring aid without centering adapter can be used for acute angles and small bending radii. For obtuse angles or large bending radii, the use of the measuring aid is recommended.
At the end of the measurement, the current angle is indicated on the display.

5.3.2 Machine

In "Machine" operating mode, the angle at the press brake is measured. For this purpose, the device must be attached to the upper tool.
In "Machine", KeMes A100 starts by calibrating the acceleration sensor. The display indicates " " until the idle state has been reached. If the up-
per tool moves downward, the measurement operation is started.
After decompression, the measured angle is indicated on the display.
If the indicated angle value is flashing, only few measured values are avail­able for determining the angle, and the displayed value is possibly incorrect. By increasing the decompression path before the upward movement of the press beam, the time for the measurement of the angle can be extended.
Operating instructions V1.01
© KEBA
23
Page 24
The correct final angle can only be measured if decompression has been completed and the bent part has fully sprung back. In addition, the bent part can be left in the matrix somewhat longer after bending has been completed.
By adjusting the 7 / 13 MStartTrig, 8 / 13 MStopTrig, 10 / 13
MSpeed and 11 / 13 MSens parameters in the 5 / 6 Settings menu
items, this operating mode can also be used for electric press brakes, limited press beam openings or press brakes in which the press beam moves very slowly. If the adaptation is insufficient for measuring a stable angle value, "MachineS" operating mode is recommended.

5.3.3 MachineS

In "MachineS" (sensitive) operating mode, the angle is measured at the press brake. For this purpose, the device must be attached to the upper tool.
The sequence is the same as in "Machine" operating mode. However, the measurement operation is triggered even by slight vibrations of the press beam.
A100Operation and handling

5.3.4 MachineE

In "MachineE" (extended) operating mode, the angle is measured at the press brake. For this purpose, the device must be attached to the upper tool.
The sequence is the same as in "Machine" operating mode. In addition, how­ever, the time period for which the laser is switched on for angle measure­ment is significantly extended.
The operating mode must be used if, in the "Machine" or "MachineS" operat­ing modes, the device ends the measurement operation early because the bending operation takes too much time.

5.4 Positioning

Since the measurement principle of KeMes A100 is based on reflection, at­tention must be paid to the correct positioning of the device.
During measurement, the laser beam is directed outward by a mirror. The laser beam is visible to the observer as a thin line on the measured object. The beam must be capable of hitting the two legs to be measured at an an­gle of 90°.
24
If the laser beam is not reflected on the metal sheet surface at an angle of 90°, no measurement is possible. For this reason, it is possible that work­pieces with bores or cutouts cannot be measured. Faulty measurements caused by reflections in the room cannot be ruled out either. If the beam misses the legs, the distance between the device and the bending edge must be reduced.
Operating instructions V1.01
© KEBA
Page 25
A100 Operation and handling
The laser beam is displayed more brightly in the area of 90° to the leg. These areas are called measurement fields. Thus, users can identify during measurement where the exact measurement position is, allowing them to modify the position of the device as necessary. Note that this is a point mea­surement, and this is why a correct angle calculation on curved workpieces and within the bending radius (important for workpieces with obtuse angles) is not possible.
Information
For an exact measurement, a minimum distance of 20 mm between the de­vice and the surface of the measured object is required.

Fig.5-8: Examples of positioning using the upper tool

5.5 Execution of the manual measurement

For executing a manual measurement, use of the measuring aid is recom­mended. This allows the measurement result to be reached in less time and with greater accuracy.
Operating instructions V1.01
© KEBA
25
Page 26
A100Operation and handling
In many cases, measurement accuracy is also greater because the measur­ing aid makes it possible to align the device parallel to the bending edge. For parts with obtuse angles, using the centering adapter is recommended be­cause otherwise, correct alignment when positioning the measuring aid is possible but difficult. The centering adapter also protects the workpiece and the device against mechanical wear.
Installation of the measuring aid
To install the measuring aid on the device, proceed as follows:
Fig.5-9: Installing the measuring aid
1) Position the two upper guiding lugs of the measuring aid on the upper cutouts of the device (1).
2) Fold the lower part of the device in the direction of the measuring aid so that the two lower bending lugs of the measuring aid rest within the lower cutouts of the device (2).
Fig.5-10: Installing the centering adapter

Page 27
A100 Operation and handling
Information
If installed correctly, the measuring aid rests on the device completely.
The measuring aid has now been installed on the device, and the manual measurement can be executed.
Carrying out the measurement
For the manual measurement, proceed as follows:
1) Attach the device onto the measuring aid.
2) Switch the device on by pressing the operating button.
3) Navigate to the "Manual" menu item by pressing and holding the operat­ing button.
4) Place the device close to the workpiece so that the measuring aid touches the bending edge.
5) Start the measurement (switch on the laser) by pressing the operating button once.
6) Position KeMes A100 so that the laser beam can hit both legs of the ob­ject to be measured unobstructed at an angle of 90°.
7) Hold the device still until the measurement is completed and the laser switches off automatically.
The measured result can be read off the display after the measurement has ended. The laser is automatically switched off after the measurement.
Information
The measurement can be terminated early by pressing the operating but­ton. After 40 seconds without a measurement result, the measurement is ended automatically.

5.6 Carrying out an automatic measurement

To carry out an automatic measurement, the device must be installed on the upper tool.
Installation on the upper tool
Caution
Property damage due to incorrect positioning!
The device must be positioned at a sufficient height so that, after reaching the target angle, sufficient space remains between the leg and the device.
Information
The upper tool must be magnetic so that KeMes A100 can be installed on it.
KeMes A100 must rest on the upper tool throughout.
A100Operation and handling
For the installation of KeMes A100 on the upper tool, proceed as follows:
1) Create a gap of approx. 6 mm in the upper tool of the press brake by shifting the stamp segments.
Information
The gap in the upper tool causes bending marks in the workpiece. If these are not acceptable, honing tools or special tools with a machined slot must be used.
2) Attach KeMes A100 so that the laser beam can penetrate the gap unob­structed and hit both legs of the object to be measured at an angle of 90°.
3) Align the device using the centering mark.

Information
For a correct measurement result, the device must be attached in parallel to the bending edge.
The device has now been installed on the upper tool, and a manual mea­surement can be executed.
Information
To aid in setting up the device, the device can be switched to continuous measurement mode. In this mode, the laser is active for measurement, and using a pre-bent part, you can check whether the measurement fields are on the legs of the sheet or whether the device still needs to be adjusted on the upper tool.
Carrying out the measurement
WARNING!
Personal injury risk due to the bending process!
During the bending process, the device must not be operated! Prior to oper­ation, the press brake must be switched to a safe state.

A100Operation and handling
Information
The measurement in Machine operating mode is triggered by the motion of the device. The measurement functions correctly only if the device moves down with the upper tool and back (up) at sufficient speed during the mea­surement.
For measurement in Machine operating mode, proceed as follows:
1) Attach the device to the upper tool.
2) Switch the device on by pressing the operating button.
3) Navigate to the "Machine" menu item by pressing and holding the oper­ating button.
4) Start automatic mode by pressing the operating button once.
5) Wait until the idle state has been reached (display shows" ").
6) Start the bending operation.
Automatic measurement is now active, and the measurement result can be read off the display of the device after every bending operation.
Continuous measurement
For a recheck of the bent part, the device can be switched to continuous measurement mode by pressing and holding the operating button. This acti­vates the laser for measurement, and the bent part can be remeasured while it still in the machine. By pressing the operating button 1x briefly, the laser can be switched off and on again for the measurement. After the check, pressing the operating button 2x briefly switches the device back to regular Machine operating mode.
Information
If the pressing speed is low or the press beam stroke is short, the motion sensor of the device does not trigger. In this case, the parameters for trig­gering the measurement must be adjusted, or "MachineS" operating mode must be used.

A100 Operation and handling
If data recording is activated, an entry is created in file ANGLES.CSV after ev­ery measurement. Approx. 30,000 measurements are saved automatically. After that point, the file is renamed to ANGLES.BAK and data recording is for­warded to a new ANGLES.CSV file.
The recorded data can be copied to a PC and evaluated there. To do so, a connection to the internal memory of the device must be established. The files (ANGLES.CSV and ANGLES.BAK) can then be transmitted to the PC using a file explorer. The files can be opened and evaluated with Microsoft® Excel, for example.
The serial numbers and, as an option, personalization data are saved in the first line of the measurement value files. Measurement values are entered in the other lines. One line corresponds to one measurement value. For the measurement values, a comma "," is used to separate decimal places.
Column 1 Date of measurement
Column 2 Time of measurement
Column 3 Measured value in decimal degrees
Column 4

ss Second (2-digit)
Personalization
KeMes A100 can be personalized. This personalization is shown when switching on the device.
In order to personalize KeMes A100, a connection to the internal memory of the device must be established. The KEMES.INI file can then be edited using a text editor, such as Microsoft® Editor.
When first opening the file, the following content can be seen:
[USER] ;user name line 0 (max. 16 char.) NAME0= ;user name line 1(max. 16 char.) NAME1=
Max. 16 characters can be entered per line in fields NAME0 and NAME1. Um­lauts cannot be displayed.
