CybTouch series – User Manual Set-point beam (Y axis) / bend angle The CybTouch has three different modes to manage the Y axis. Touching one of the icons on the left allows going from one mode to another. The three modes are: In this mode, the operator simply enters the desired angle and the CybTouch will calculate the position at which the beam will stop (BDC).
CybTouch Series – User Manual Set-point back gauge (R axis – optional) The value of the vertical position of the back gauge (R axis) is calculated by the CybTouch. It is displayed in grey. It can however be manually modified but is then displayed in black.

CybTouch Series – User Manual 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”.
Page 31
CybTouch series – User Manual Crowning The crowning function is activated here. It is automatically calculated, according to the Material, the Material thickness, the Material sigma and the Bending length. If the crowning needs correction, use the Crowning (see page 39) function in the correction page.
CybTouch Series – User Manual Offset Pinch Point This function allows making a bending cycle further away from the matrix, for example to close the opened side of a box, as shown on the right. Once activated, this function forces the CybTouch into bottoming mode (see Set-point beam (Y axis) / bend angle, page 21).
CybTouch series – User Manual OOLS ANAGEMENT Tools management allows the creation and configuration on the CybTouch of the tools to be used on the machine. These tools are then considered in bend calculations. Once a punch and die are created and selected, you can select the bend angle you require as well as the flange length (L).
CybTouch Series – User Manual If no punch is yet created, the punch will have no name (??? is displayed). If a punch already How to create or exists, then the last punch used will be selected, here 60_S_i (modifications will not alter modify a punch? the existing punch as they will be saved under another name).

CybTouch series – User Manual AMING OOLS It is recommended that you use naming conventions for your tools. Below you will find a simple convention allowing you to precisely identify a punch or die through its name. Of course, depending on your needs you may need to create more rules for punch and die naming.
CybTouch Series – User Manual AUGES If the operator needs to intervene on the machine’s back gauges, he can use the back-gauge cycle function, which will bring them all the way forward. He will then be able to work on them without having to put his hands and arms between the tools.
