The CYBELEC DNCs equipped with Windows have been installed in the
factory with a configuration especially realised for the numerical control
(see technical information).
This configuration ensures that a minimum of files are present on the DNC,
offering in this way a maximum speed to execute the programs. This
configuration also ensures that the drivers are correct and that the whole
guarantees an optimal functioning of the numerical control.
As Windows is a very open system, it is advised to not modify the Windows
installation nor to install other programs. You risk to disturb the functioning
of the the numerical control.
If you wish to install a network or a printer, please call a specialist.
Remember that the DNC is equipped with a floppy reader and USB ports and
that it is very easy or even tempting to install external softwares, utilities or
games coming from specialized magazines.
CYBELEC accepts no responsibility in case of misfunctioning of
the numerical control if other programs have been installed or if
the original configuration has been modified.
We also remind you that the Windows environment is infested with virus and
utmost caution is to be taken when using data or softwares coming from
outside. A regular back-up enables you to get your data in safety.
We certify that our numerical controls are delivered virus free.

The side flaps with the oblong holes, which are included in section 1, will be
made first, so that a punch of identical length as that for section 2 can be
used.
To make this product, we will use 2 mm thick ST37 type steel.
The user has to clear the work memory before creating a new product.
Call the PRODUCT NUMERICAL page, which enables the data
introduction in L-Alpha mode.
PUNCH ADJUSTMENT
This chapter as well as the following Die Adjustment are optional when
programming in 2D mode.
It is interesting to look them over, for the TOOLS POSITION page enables
to define several places of work and hence to the operator to visualize the
tools assembly.
If the tools assembly is not important, skip these two chapters.
The tools definition will be made directly in the PRODUCT NUMERICAL
page (page in which you still are at this stage of the procedure).
Call the TOOLS POSITION page by pressing the PRODUCT
function key and select TOOLS POSITION.
Punch adjustment
Place the cursor on the P field and press the key to open the
punch LIST OF CHOICES menu.

keys.
Each database (punchs and dies) is limited to 200 tools.
You can also call the end of the list by introducing the value
999 or recall the begin of the list by introducing 001.
* The PUNCH and DIE fields in the upper part of the screen designate the
general tool for the calculation of the product. If a product is being
programmed via the PRODUCT NUMERICAL page, it is mandatory to
enter these two items.
The PUNCH and DIE columns in the table allow to specify a different tool
for a given bend.
In the BEND NUMERICAL page, there are also a PUNCH and a DIE field.
If the product has been programmed via the PRODUCT NUMERICAL
page, these fields will be empty or partially filled if tools have been entered
in the corresponding columns of the table of the PRODUCT NUMERICAL
page. This is so because these fields correspond to the ones in the table.
(Also see the section Direct Programming (BEND NUM) further in this
manual).
Enter:
- the punch
- the die
- the sigma/material
- the type of material
- the bending length
Place the cursor on the THICKNESS field and enter the thickness of
the material being used.
Place the cursor on the SIGMA field and introduce the force/mm² of
the material used. (E.g.: Steel = 37 Kg/mm²)
Leave the round-robin list on STEEL.
Place the cursor on the BEND L. field and introduce the bending
length for the product (section 1 = 150.0 mm).

Procedure:
Place the cursor on the first field of the LENGTH column and
introduce the value of 45 mm which corresponds to the first length.
Place the cursor on the first field of the ANGLE column and introduce
the value of 90° which corresponds to the first angle to be bent.
Place the cursor on the second field of the LENGTH column and
introduce the value of 200 mm which corresponds to the second
length.
Place the cursor on the second field of the ANGLE column and
introduce the value of 90° which corresponds to the second angle to
be bent.
Place the cursor on the third field of the LENGTH column and
introduce the value of 45 mm which corresponds to the last length
before the edge of the product.
Hint: Introduce first all the lengths and then the angles. This way of operating is
much faster.
PROGRAMMING SECTION 2
The definition of the bending direction is done by inversing the angle sign,
however the choice of the side is arbitrary, but has to be constant for the
whole profile of the product.

The user has to clear the work memory before creating a new product.
Call the BEND NUMERICAL page.
This operation erases only the data of the work memory. That means that the
product, which is possibly located in the work memory, is not lost if it has
been saved beforehand.
GENERAL DATA
Enter:
- the sigma/material
- the type of material
Place the cursor on the THICKNESS field and enter the thickness of
the material being used.
Place the cursor on the SIGMA field and introduce the force/mm² of
the material used. (E.g.: STEEL = 37 Kg/mm²).
Note: It is mandatory to program these data, as well as the tools.
(see following page)
Choice of tools
Place the cursor on the choice and validate with the key
or
Click on the desired choice.
Proceed in the same way for choosing a DIE.
Remark: It is possible to make the same choice, and in the same way, in
the TOOLS BEND page (via the BEND menu). This enables
to see the tools profile, along with their main characteristics.
The page shown above illustrates how to program the two flaps with the
oblong holes (section 1).
The two bends being identical, enter 2 in the CY field. Program the angle to
90°, the X axis to its absolute value (43.00) and enter the bending length
(150).
The bending force and the crowning will be calculated automatically.
The operator can, of course, modify these values if necessary.
According to his needs, the operator can also modify:
TDC the Top Dead Center. If not programmed, the
beam will rise to the maximum TDC.
RETRACTION BG the retraction of the backgauge.
SP the Switch Point (switching from High Speed
to Bending Speed).
DWELL TIME the time during which pressure is being
maintained.
BENDING SPEED the bending speed downward, or the speed
during the upward moving phase until the
clamping point is reached.
LOW SPEED allows to define that only a portion (expressed
DISTANCE in %) of the upward movement between the
TDC and the clamping point will be carried out
at low speed; the continuation of the upward
movement is made at high speed.
Press the start key in order to position the axes on the first
sequence.
Carry out the bend with a trial product.
Measure the flap and the obtained angle.
Go to or remain in the CORRECTIONS page.
Position the cursor on the ANGLE field, BEND column, and enter
the measured angle (93.0 in this case). The software automatically
calculates the necessary correction (-0.292,which can be seen in the
Y1, Y2 fields, in the BEND column). Also see the 2D Reférence
Manual in the Corrections section.
Carry out a second test bend (on the same sequence, with a second
test product). If necessary, make a new correction.
Depending on the material, the machine adjustment and the exactness
of the data introduced, 2 or 3 corrections can be necessary for a bend.
This can be considered as being a normal situation.
Pg Dn
Move on to the next sequence by pressing the key.
Make corrections as described before.
Go into automatic mode and choose the work page you like:
⇒ BEND NUMERICAL
⇒ BEND 2D
⇒ BEND 3D for 3D softwares

It is not necessary to save the product which has been programmed in the
work memory, if this one is of no more use once the product executed.
Generally, the product will be saved only if it has to be kept for future use.
A non-saved product in the work memory is recognizable, for the
PRODUCT field is empty.
The ENC is also provided with a memory which contains a copy of the
product located in the work memory. This copy is transferred to the ENC
when switching to semi-automatic or automatic mode.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Thus, in this manual we will always speak of a (virtual) key position like
e.g.: "Key in position 3".
Users A number of different users are predefined. A user is not a physical person in
particular, but can be e.g. all the operators having the authorization to work
on the machine.
Each predefined user possesses his own password and a maximum level
which he can reach. See further under Table of users, access and passwords.
Password Certain users can modify their own password. For the others, the password
can only be changed by a user having a superior access.
Loss of the password In case of loss of the password, a user of a superior level has to reprogram
the password.
Level Names of Changing of Changing of Level Password User generally attributed to:
predefined the personal passwords of virtual key by default
users password the
subordinateds
Press .
The authorized level is shown in the bottom right box in the screen.
Otherwise a message indicating that the user is not authorized is
displayed.
Once the authorization acquired, the operator can change the level among
those authorized to him without reappearing of a new password request.
For instance, a user with access on level 3 can navigate between levels 1, 2
and 3 without having to give his password again.
If level 0 is activated, the access on any other level will require to introduce
the password again.
This request also will appear when the user passes to a superior level (from 0
to 1, from 1 to 2, from 2 to 3, etc.) and he has no access authorization.
Advice If you have accessed to level 3, access to level 0 after your intervention. This
will avoid to make undesired changings by inadvertence.
