The users must have Read and Understood, but most of all must Respect the directives
described in this manual.
All people coming into contact with the machine on which the numerical control is installed,
whatever their function or whatever state the machine is in (assembly, disassembly, start-up,
production, maintenance, repairs) must have read and understood the requirements
concerning the security and the entirety of the directives of operation described in the
manuals delivered with the machine.
The operator must be properly trained to work with the machine on which the numerical
control is installed. Improper use of the numerical control can cause heavy damage on
equipment and/or injuries to people.
Modification of machine parameters can cause important material damage or lead to
irregular product quality.
Do not expose the numerical control to excessive humidity to avoid any risk of electrocution
and any deterioration of the equipment.
Make sure the numerical control is disconnected from the mains power before carrying out
any cleaning. Do not use liquids based on alcohol or ammoniac.
In case of malfunction of the numerical control, call a technician.
Do not expose the numerical control to direct sun rays or any other heat source.
Do not place the numerical control in the neighbourhood of magnetic equipment such as
transformers, motors or devices which generate interference (welding machines, etc.)

Depending on software evolutions and the press brake controlled by the CybTouch
(configuration/capabilities), the present manual may not fully correspond to the CybTouch
that you currently have. However, differences are only minor.
This manual describes all features of
▪CybTouch 8PS, 12PS, 15PS
Touchscreens are pressure sensitive.
Do not press down hard on the screen.
Pressing hard on the screen will damage
the display. Such damage is not covered
by manufacturer warranty!
Do not use sharp and/or pointed objects (sheet metal, screwdriver, metal pen ball, etc.) to
touch the screen; only use your fingers (with or without gloves on) or a plastic pen. Make sure
that your gloves do not have metal particles encrusted in the fingertips as they may also
damage the screen.
Take a few minutes to practice pressing gently on the screen, you will find that the screen is
very reactive, and it is pleasant to use.

This function will display the axes positions on the Bend Numerical Page.
•When set to no, the position of axes Y1, X and R is displayed during the beam’s
movements.
•When set to yes1, the positions of the axes (Y1, Y2, X and R) are displayed during
their respective movements.
•When set to yes2, the positions of the axes (Y1, Y2, X and R) are constantly
displayed under their respective set-point values.
When set to yes, this button is displayed on the Bend Numerical Page, and gives
access to the TouchProfile Mode.
When set to yes, this parameter gives access to the L-Alpha Mode. This button is then
displayed on the TouchProfile Mode page.
This parameter, when activated, lets the operator see the state of the part before and after
the bend in the Bend Sequencing page.

Touching Materials opens the Materials page, where the default characteristics for each
material can be changed, or a new material can be configured.
This page may not be available, depending on the machine parameters’
configuration. To be allowed to access the Materials page, a level 2 password is
required
The Materials page displays:
•Material: Selected material (here Steel).
•Default thickness for the material.
•Default sigma: Default sigma for the material (here 45).
•Displayed: If the material will be available to be selected for use (here yes).
•K DIN 6935: Allows to correct the blank length accordingly to DIN 6935.
•Predefined thickn.: Allows defining up to 7 different predefined thicknesses for
the selected material.
•Thickness min/max: Determines the maximum and minimum accepted thickness
for the selected material.
Three predefined default materials are available (steel, stainless steel, aluminium), but
others can be added.
To add a material:
1. Touch Material and select a non-configured material (Mater X) from the list.
2. Enter the new material’s characteristics.

3. Touch the name (Mater X) to display the keyboard and enter the name of the new
material.
This parameter allows the operator to apply a permanent correction to the Bottom Dead
Centre position.
Please note that this correction is always applied and is NOT shown in the correction page. If
you experience big differences from what you expect to get, maybe check the value of this
parameter.
When activated, this function allows communication between the CybTouch and a laptop
computer, onto which Cybelec’s RFLink dongle is plugged in. This function’s default status is
off, and it is automatically reset to off every time the NC is turned on.
When activated, this function clears the index and the machine will search for them, as
it does when turning the power on, allowing the operator to re-index its machine without
turning it off.
When this parameter is set to yes, it is possible to browse the USB key from the USB
transfer screen (see USB Transfer).
This parameter allows defining the default value displayed in the Extra Bending
Parameters when activating the back-gauge retraction function.
In TouchProfile Mode, when a retraction is necessary, the numerical control will
automatically calculate and activate the function. The calculated value can naturally
be manually modified.

Allows the user to set the time and date on the CybTouch.
As a tall operator will tend to touch higher than a smaller one on the screen, this function
allows the calibration of the touch screen, and also makes sure that it is operating
correctly.
SETTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Simply follow the instructions on the page to calibrate the touchscreen.
Use your finger or the plastic tip of a pen to calibrate the Touchscreen. Never use sharp
objects as this will damage the screen.
When this parameter is set to yes, the Offset Pinch Point function is available in the Extra
Bending Parameters.
Here the brightness of the screen for normal mode and Eco mode can be defined:
1. Touch the mode for which you want to modify the brightness.
2. Use the buttons to set the brightness.

This parameter allows defining the counting mode of the part counter. When set to up, the
counter will count up to the desired number. When set to down, the counter will count
from the desired number down to 0.
The counter stops the cycle when total is reached.
The value of the counter is automatically memorized when the numerical
control is shut down.
This function allows choosing the data entry mode for the back gauge on the Bend
Numerical Page or EasyBend Page. When set to yes, the length of the flange icon is
displayed by default. When set to no, the icon for the position in mm of the back gauge
is displayed.
When set to never, the position of the back gauge is no longer linked to the bending
angle, i.e. the position is never recalculated when the bending angle is modified.
The default value for this preference is never. Note that completely formatting
the machine will reset this preference to its default value.
The mode is not available for graphical parts (see also Set point back
gauge (X axis) / flange length).
This parameter controls the recalculation of the axes position values when a part
is loaded. It is useful when there is a possibility that something has changed, like
dimensions of tools or back gauge, since the last time the program was run.
The default value for this parameter is no.
Corrections remain the same. We emphasize again the good practice of using
corrections (see Bending and Corrections) to fine tune a program. In
this case, even if modifications have happened, the part will be recalculated and
properly bent.
