  • Page 5: Introduction

    Introduction The DAC-300T series is a programmable touch control for industrial cutting machines. Its user-friendly user interface is mainly based on icons, making it a fast and easy to program control. The high-quality widescreen TFT Color LCD display has a size of 7" and is equipped with an energy saving LED backlight.

  • Page 6: Using The Dac-300T

    User interface layout The user interface of the DAC-300T is based on the proven Delem touch interface introduced in the Delem press brake controllers. In the picture below the main layout of the screen is explained. This layout is applicable for all the operating modes for the DAC-300T, making the navigation easy and recognizable.

  • Page 7: Available Menus

    Information panel • Large working area • Context sensitive keyboard Command panel • Functions and soft keys belonging to the specific active function In order to select a menu item or parameter simply tap the screen once at the position of the icon. If it is necessary to pan (for example in product select menu), keep your finger on screen and move in the desired direction.

  • Page 8: Key Lock

    Settings Several control settings. The several modes are explained in detail in chapters 3 to 6. Key lock The control is equipped with a key lock function, to prevent unauthorised programming. It depends on the machine if this lock is accessible over the touch screen interface (upper left corner) or an external physical key switch.

    • settings can be changed, • axes can be moved in manual movement mode, • in the manual mode it is still possible to program and execute one step. There is a second code available for the key lock function. When code 21 is entered instead of code 42 the user interface is blocked.
  • Page 10 Besides the numerical and alphanumerical keys there are some additional keys: Keyboard close Close the on screen keyboard. Caps lock Switch between lower- and upper-case characters. Special characters Switch the keyboard between normal and special characters. Enter key This function confirms the entered value, keeps the cursor on the selected input field and afterwards automatically closed the keyboard.

  • Page 11: Program Selection Mode

    Program selection mode By tapping the navigation button Program selection, the control is switched to program selection mode. Select a program from memory To select an existing program from the memory of the DAC- 300T, simply tap on the program to select it. When the program is successfully loaded the DAC-300T will display an information message on the screen that the program is loaded.
  • Page 12 Copy Create a copy of the selected program. When making a copy the DAC-300T will prompt the keyboard for the user to provide a new name. Rename Change the name of the selected program. When renaming the DAC-300T will prompt the keyboard for the user to provide a new name.

  • Page 13: Create A New Program

    Create a new program To create a new program, select the new program soft key. The DAC-300T will open the keyboard so the program name can be entered. If an already existing name is entered the DAC-300T will prompt a message and asks if the existing program should be over written or not.

  • Page 15: Automatic Mode

    Automatic mode By tapping the navigation button Automatic mode, the control is switched to Automatic mode. In Automatic mode a cutting program can defined or edited as explained in chapter 3. This chapter describes all possible parameters that can be programmed for a program step.

  • Page 16: Properties

    Properties The ‘Properties’ tab defines the general parameters that apply for all program steps. Material number The material of the sheet. There are 6 material types available. The material type will be used for angle, gap and force calculation. The corresponding values depend on the manufacturer settings.

  • Page 17: All Steps

    Sheet position Position of the sheet on the cutting table. Depending on the machine settings this parameter can also be found in the ‘All steps’ tab (programmable per cutting step). Stock counter To count the number of products. If programmed to 0, the counter will increase after each finished product.
  • Page 18 Start programming by entering values in the parameter fields. Some parameters are set automatically: angle, gap, stroke and force. All cutting step parameters can be changed if desired, including the pre-computed ones. If there are more parameters available than fits the screen, use the pan function to make the parameters visible.

  • Page 19: All Steps Parameters

    Delete step Select the number of the step that should be deleted. Press the ‘delete step’ soft key; the selected step will be deleted. The succeeding steps are shifted up. A complete program can be deleted in the program selection mode.
  • Page 20 X-axis position The desired backgauge position for this step. A positive value is an absolute position. A negative value is interpreted as a chaining value (a relative value). See also the parameter ‘Chaining mode’ in Settings mode, as described in paragraph 6.4. X2-axis position (DAC-362T only) The desired X2-position for this step.
  • Page 21 Sheet position Position of the sheet on the cutting table, programmable per step. Depending on the machine settings this parameter can also be found in the ‘Properties’ tab (programmable per program). Function output Binary value for the programmable digital outputs. The number of available outputs depends on machine settings.

  • Page 22: Program Execution

    Stroke length Stroke distance for this cut. Depending on machine settings, the stroke length is programmed as a distance or as a percentage of the maximum stroke. The stroke distance is automatically computed from sheet position, angle and cutting length; it can be changed if desired. Cutting force (DAC-36xT only) The desired force necessary for cutting the sheet.

  • Page 23: Manual Positioning

    To stop execution, press ‘Stop’. When the control is started in ‘All steps’ the screen will look like below: It highlights the active program step, actual X-axis position and the value of the stock counter. A program is repeated until 'Stop' is pressed or until the stock counter (#) has reached 0 after down counting.
  • Page 24 The distance moved with the slider determines the speed of the axis. When the slider is released, the axis stops. The buttons at each end of the slider can be used to fine-tune the axis position. When "sliding" the beeper gives feedback that the axis is moving.

  • Page 25: Manual Mode

    Manual mode By tapping the navigation button Manual, the control is switched to Manual mode. In this mode one cutting step can be programmed and executed. This chapter describes all possible parameters that can be programmed for a cutting step. Note that most of these parameters are machine configuration dependent;...
  • Page 26 pressed until its high-lighted and drag it to the desired position. Release the tile to fix the new position. Material number The material of the sheet. There are 6 material types available. The material type will be used for angle, gap and force calculation.
  • Page 27 X-axis park position With this parameter the backgauge can be set to its park position. This is for example applicable for de-coiling applications. When the parameter is set to disable the normal backgauge function is available. When set to enable the backgauge is moved automatically to its park position, and the X- axis parameters are made invisible.
  • Page 28 Part support (DAC-36xT only) Backside part support function on/off: • Disable -> Part support function inactive • Enable -> Part support function active Function output Binary value for the programmable digital outputs. The number of available outputs depends on machine settings. The name also depends on machine settings, and is FD by default.

  • Page 29: Program Execution

    Stroke length Stroke distance for this cut. Depending on machine settings, the stroke length is programmed as a distance or as a percentage of the maximum stroke. The stroke distance is automatically computed from sheet position, angle and cutting length; it can be changed if desired. Program execution When all the manual mode parameters have been programmed the single cut can be executed.
