The controller can store 50 programs, and each program can have up to 10 steps. A
program can be consider as a working job, and a step is one bending operation. The
END inform the controller the last step of the program. Example, if END=2, then
only step 1 and 2 in the program will be executed.
For each STEP, there are 4 parameters:
BACK: the back position of the cylinder when retracted.
SLOW: when moving forward, the cylinder first move at fast speed and low
pressure. When SLOW is reached, the cylinder turns to slow speed and high
pressure. The cylinder should be in slow speed before the bending started.
The SLOW position is also the reference point for the NC stopper to retract
right before the bend start (refer to NC stopper section for more detail).
FORWARD: The cylinder stopps at the FORWARD position. Adjust this position
for the angle of bend.
GAUGE: This is position of the NC stopper when the NC gauge function is turned
ON.

NC RETRACT: Right before the bend, the NC stopper retract slightly to protect the
stopper from damaged by the bended material. The timing of the retract is a
referenced by the SLOW value. If the NC RETRACT is set at zero, thn
retract happens at the same time the cylinder reach SLOW position. Enter a
positive or negative value here to have the NC stopper retract earlier or later
than the SLOW position.
Retract should happen before the bending
started.

Filter and Oil Change
:
Take off and clean the suction filter inside the oil tank every time when
changing oil. The first oil change should be performed after approximately
600 operating hours. Further oil change is needed for every 1200 operating
hours. A drain outlet is located at the base of the oil tank.
Screw back the cleaned suction filter after the draining the oil. If the suction
filter is damaged or clogged, replace the suction filter. Do not mix different
brands of oil.
The oil temperature should be under 50 degrees Celsius. If the upper/lower
limit switches are not set correctly for unloading of the pump, the oil
temperature can raise quickly. Adjust the limit switches so the pump will be in
the unloading condition.
5.
Hydraulic pressure
:
The working pressure of the hydraulic system is pre-set in the factory. There is
a pressure gauge to indicate the working pressure of the machine. The pressure
