I. Programming
1. ToPs 300 as of Version 4.1 supports the wheel tools.
2. Some software systems ask for tool dimensions, these are passive and do not effect the operation and
performance of the tool. In the case of steel plates with higher yield strengths or if the contour is located in an
unfavourable position in the sheet, the form should be produced in several steps with increasing plunge depth
offset (BDC/LDP).
3. With wheel tools, machining is possible at up to the maximum axes traverse rate if working in the preferred
direction, Y+. Processing should preferably take place in a pulling manner, i.e. away from the clamps.
4. The start point must always be located inside the sheet.
5. The Rolling Shear tool must never be run without material as cutting edges will be damaged.
6. The wheel tool must always be removed from the punch adapter before switching the machine off.
7. A tangential withdrawal motion of at least 6mm must be programmed after each cut.
8. Inside corners must be punched free at least 6mm.
9. Angles up to 20° must be cut in a pulling motion, over 20° can be cut in a pushing motion.
