30. Calibrate Machine
The machine settings are settings that apply
to the whole machine, not just a specific axis.
These settings can be accessed from the
Machine section on the left hand side.
Dwell Time:
This is the time the beam must sit at the
bending position before being allowed to
open (in s).
Return Time:
This is the time the beam sits at the bending
position, before the auto return (if enabled) will bring the beam up (in s).
Tonnage:
This is the rated tonnage of the machine (measure in t).
Tonnage Offset:
This is the pressure needed to apply 0t of force to the material (measured in %).
Crowning:
This is the amount the distance between the top and bottom varies with the force being applied (in
mm/100t).
Crowning Max:
This is the upper limit on the crowning value (in mm/100t).
Crowning Offset:
This is the offset applied to the crowning value (in mm/100t).
Top/Bottom Switch:
If the Top/Bottom Switch is connected to one of the Servo Drives, this is the address of that Drive.
Up/Down Ramp Up:
This is the acceleration time for the beam as it moves to the open position (in s).
Up/Down Ramp Down:
This is the deceleration time for the beam as it moves to the open position (in s).
Stroke Type:
The Stroke Type indicates if the Pressbrake is a down-stroke machine (the tool moves down for the
bend), or an up-stroke machine (the die moves up for the bend).
