Slow speed return
This parameter allows slowing down the speed of the beam after
the bend and is generally used when the part has a long flange and
the operator tries not to let it “fall down too fast”.
The beam will return at low speed up while the operator holds the foot pedal. It switches to
high speed up when either the pedal is released or Pinch Point is reached, whichever comes
first.
When this field is deactivated (grayed), the beam moves back up directly at HSU (High
Speed Up).
Dwell time
Allows defining the duration of the dwell time, meaning the time
during which the punch remains at BDC before coming back up.
When the icon is crossed
, it means that there is no automatic return of the beam after
TDC. This is a sequence parameter, meaning it can be modified with each step of the
program.
When this field is deactivated (greyed), the default Dwell Time value defined in the
machine parameters are applied.
Force
The force is automatically calculated by the VisiTouch, according to
the
, the Material thickness, the Material sigma and the
Bending length / Position offset. The value can also be manually
modified here.
Opening (TDC)
For parts created with a profile (see
or
), this value is automatically calculated to allow the operator
enough room to extract its bent part from between the tools. It is
however possible to change it manually.
For part created manually (see
), this parameter uses the default
minimum value defined in the machine parameters. It can however be programmed here.
Creating a “New part” reinitializes it to its default value.
When this field is deactivated (grayed), the beam moves back all the way up to its
maximum limit switch.
