ORRECTIONS It can happen that the angle bent is slightly greater or less than the angle programmed. The operator has then the possibility to introduce the real value of the angle bent. The DNC will correct the Y1 and Y2 axis values accordingly. The corrections can be entered into two different pages: Page corrections (see explanation on page 71).
Then are displayed, in ascending order, the numbers of all the products stored in the internal memory. The NEW_P field enables the operator to create a new product directly, starting from this page. Position the cursor on NEW_P and press the key. PAGE 18 USER GUIDE DNC 600S...

EFERENCE The machine has been adjusted according to the following principle: When, theoretically, the punch's leg face on the beam is in contact with the surface of the table, the value of the Y1 and Y2 counters is 000.00. In practice this adjustment is made using two calibrated blocks, whose value has been introduced into the counters.

Page 68
Y1 and Y2 Counters Differ Greatly If the counters are not identical and present a difference superior to what is normally tolerated (the press in this case furnishes an angle which varies from one side to the other of the machine), a test must be made with another tool in order to d etermine if the difference comes from the tool itself (tool badly finished p...
For the softwares having the "PP correction" parameter, if the reference, the tooling dimensions and material thickness are correct you can modify this parameter in order to correct the PP (adjustment of the material clamping) without interfering with the other points.
