This parameter enables the handwheel function in the machine.
Description
Using handwheel, RAM (Y-Axis) and all the backgauge axes are moved in a very precise manner. It is mainly used during manual clamping of tools, where the pressure is set to minimum, the punch and die brought in contact with each other and then clamped to make sure the centre between the tools are aligned.
Sheet Support
Range |
ON/OFF |
Default |
OFF |
Units |
NA |
Access |
Administrator |
Function
This parameter enables the sheet follower function in the machine. Only if this parameter is ON the S1 and S2 axis settings will be displayed.
Description
Sheet support is used to support the part and reducing human effort and increasing bend accuracy. Kindly note that to use sheet support function, sheet follower license needs to be enabled in license feature list.
Sheet support implementation is as follows:
-
S1 and S2 will be move to 0 when back gauge is positioned irrespective of whether bend required sheet support to move. This is to ensure sheet support is in flat condition when bending a part.
-
If the sheet support is enabled corresponding S1 or S2 or both will move while bending.
-
After reaching TDC, S1 or S2 or both will return to flat position if it is enabled.
Axis parameter for S1 and S2 are similar to other axis except for minor changes like the minimum and maximum unit is degrees.
