Bending Operation - Baileigh Industrial BP-3305CNC Operator's Manual

Bending Operation

NOTICE: This machine is designed for balanced operation. That means that the material
should be evenly positioned between the dies from the center out. Loading material on one
end of the machine will cause excessive loading on one ram and slide. This will shorten the
life of the components and possibly damage the machine frame beyond repair. If biased
loading is absolutely necessary on one end, place a similar material on the other end to
prevent the biased loading problem. This is NOT covered by warranty.
Single Bend
Single bend operation is simplest most basic operation. The single refers to the
dimension/settings to be used for the bend. A single set of dimensions will be used until
changed by the operator. Whether the work piece has one bend or several, each bend is
completed using the same single set of dimensions.
The following items may be programmed into the controller on this screen to be used for Single
bending.
Back Gauge dimension.
XP 0.00 = is measured from the center line of the V groove being used, to the tip of the
stop block. The smallest value that may be programmed in for this setting is 0.30
Depth the Ram will travel down.
0.000 = Is a relative number which in
general is based upon the Punch (as
included) being at the center of the Die (as
included). The smallest value that may be
programmed in for this setting is 0.119.
YP
The top of the die block is the 1.000 point.
This does not matter which edge (V-
groove) is in the up position. The dimension
value programmed into the YP position is
the distance the punch will travel into the
die. Example; a YP of .75 would mean that
the punch will travel about .25 into the V groove of the die.
The is a distance value that may be programmed to have the back gauge move away
DX (retract) from the work piece at the moment the punch is about to touch the work
piece.
This is a time value that starts when the down travel contact block activates the down
HT travel limit switch. This value must be long enough for the ram to reach the full down
stroke and cause the hydraulic system to reach pressure relief for at least 0.1 second.
The is a time value that may be programmed to have the back gauge move away
DLY (retract) from the work piece at the moment the punch is about to touch the work
piece.
