1.5. Getting started
1.5.1. Introduction
In order to obtain a bend program for a product, the control offers the possibility to create a
product drawing and calculate a valid bend sequence for the product. With this information, a
product program is generated.
This is done with the following steps:
1 Go to the Products mode in the navigation panel and start a new product by tap-
ping New Product.
2 Enter the product properties and start to draw a 2D product profile in the Drawing
mode.
3 Check the tooling, modify or make a new set-up in the Tool Setup mode.
4 Use the Bend Sequence mode to determine the bend sequence by calculating it
or manually modifying it upon your own idea's.
5 When required modify the numerical CNC program via the Program mode.
6 Tap Auto and press the Start button in order to produce the programmed product.
1.5.2. Preparations
Before product programming can be started, the following preparations must be made.
• The correct material properties must have been programmed in the Materials library.
You can find this in the Settings mode. See chapter 8 about this mode.
• The correct tools must be programmed in the Tool Library. Tools are necessary to create
a CNC program. You can find the libraries for the different types of tools under the
Machine mode. See chapter 6 about this menu and the programming of tools.
1.5.3. Create a drawing
The control offers the functionality to create a drawing of the intended product. With this
drawing application, tap Drawing in the navigation panel, a 2D profile or 3D product drawing is
created. At this stage, there is no calculation of bends or dimensions: any profile or drawing
can be created.
The drawing method on the Touch screen controller is based on:
•Sketching
•Valuesetting
Sketching
The product as well as tool shape Sketching can be done by tapping on the screen in the
different directions the drawing must have. The application will follow the tapping with drawing
a line between the indicated points. The last point of the design will show always a big red
dot.
When the drawing dot is on the screen you can hold your finger on this position and move the
finger across the screen to move the connected line in another required direction or make the
line length longer. This method is the so-called 'Dragging' facility. The length and angle value
will be visible on the screen and can be adjusted to be exact or close to the requested value.

V0311, 1.7
Value Setting
Once the product or tool is drawn in the Sketching method the exact values of line lengths and
angles can be optimized by the Value setting method. Just tap 2 times on the value of the line
length or angle to change and the keyboard will pop-up. The value can be entered in 2 ways
of confirmation:
• Enter function
• Enter-Next function
The Enter function will close the keyboard after entering the value. The Enter-Next function
will enter the value on the line or angle to change and the keyboard will remain opened for the
next programming step.
Zoom Bar
In the lower part of the drawing information panel, a Zoom Bar is available with which you can
slide your finger along the indicated area to enlarge (+ direction) or reduce (- direction) the
drawing on the screen. When you tap on the [ + ] or [ - ] field itself, the drawing can be
enlarged (+) or reduced (-) step by step.
Fit-To-Screen
At the right side of the Zoom Bar you will find a Fit-To-Screen function. This can be used when
the drawing size is not clear in picture. Just tap once and the complete drawing will be sized to
fit the drawing screen.
Panning
The 2D drawing of the product or tool can be moved over the screen just by moving your
finger over the drawing area, outside the drawing itself.
More information about this can be found in chapter 2.
Features of the drawing tool:
• Graphical design of product shapes in 2D and 3D (if available)
• Scaled sheet thickness
• Auto scaling
• Horizontal and vertical projected dimensions can be entered
• Real scale tool design
• Various machine shapes (pressbeams and tables)
• Changing of lengths and angles
• Adding or deleting of bends
• Special bend features can be applied
• Hemming bends can be programmed
• Bumping bends can be used for big radius
• Existing products can be copied, changed and stored as a new product
• Closing dimension or highest precision tolerance selection
• Connecting 2D programs for 3D-production

1.5.4. Determine bend sequence
When the product drawing is completed, the control offers Tool setup mode to program the
exact tool set-up as it is organised on the machine. After this you can select the Bend
Sequence mode to determine and simulate the required bend sequence.
In the Bend Sequence mode, the control shows the product, the machine and the tools. In this
menu the bend sequence can be programmed and checked visually. When a bend sequence
has been determined, the CNC program can be generated.
More information about this can be found in chapter 3.
Bending sequence computation:
• Automatic computation for minimum production time
• Interactive bend sequence determination
• Manual bend sequence determination
• Collision visualization of product with tools and machine
• Free tool and machine shape selections
• Assignments of turn times, backgauge speed etc.
• Blank length computation
• Production time indication
• Bending sequence simulation
• Programmable finger positions
1.5.5. Numerical program
The Program menu gives access to the numerical program and values of the active product.
There are two possibilities to create a CNC program:
• enter a numerical program, started via the Products mode, tap New Program, step by
step ;
• generate the program from the graphical bend simulation started via the Products mode,
tap New Product, via the Drawing mode. (see: Drawing mode; product drawing).
If the program is entered by hand, there is no collision check. All program values must be
entered manually. The program depends on operator experience.
If the program is generated from a graphical bend sequence, the program can be visualised
during production. A generated program can be edited according to operation needs.
More information about this can be found in chapter 4.
When a drawing has been completed with a bend sequence, and the program is stored, the
program is post processed and the numerical program becomes available.
The system automatically computes :
• Necessary force
• Machine adjustments such as:
• Y-axis position
• Decompression
• X-axis position
• X-axis retract
• Y-opening
•R-axes
•Z-axes

V0311, 1.9
Axes positions are calculated according to the machine configuration.
1.5.6. The Auto menu and Manual menu, production modes
A product program can be executed via the Auto mode. In Automatic mode, a complete
program can be executed bend after bend. In the Auto mode the Step mode can be selected
to have each bend started separately.
The Manual mode of the control is an independent production mode. In this mode, one bend
can be programmed and executed. It is typically used to test the behaviour of the bend
system.
More information about this can be found in chapter 9 and 10.
1.5.7. Back-up data, external storage
Both product and tool files can be stored externally. Depending on the configuration, these
files can be stored on a network or on a USB storage device. This facilitates a back-up of
important data and the possibility to exchange files between Delem controls.
More information about this can be found in chapter 7.

1.6.2. Listbox functionality
Several parameters on the control have a limited number of possible values. When selecting
such a parameter, by tapping the parameter line on the screen, the list of options will open up
near the position where you tapped the line, and the desired value can be selected.
To undo the selection and the opened listbox, tapping outside the box will make it close
without changing the selected parameter.
1.6.3. Filter, live search
In some modes a list of entities is offered (products, tools, materials, etc.). An example of
such a menu is the Products mode (product selection). To search a particular product or tool,
the filter function can be used. Press the command button Filter, type a part of the ID in the
enter field. Automatically, the list is limited to those items that contain the typed part.
Multiple search parts can be separated by <space>.
Example of a product list: type: shown list:
product123
product456
exampleproduct01
exampleproduct02
1 product123
exampleproduct01
ex exampleproduct01
exampleproduct02
ex 1 exampleproduct01

1.6.4. Navigation
Within some modes, the program screens are divided into tabs.
The tabs can easily be selected by just tapping them. When a tab is not completely visible or
not visible at all, just by dragging the tab row horizontally, the desired tab can be "pulled" in
sight and be selected.
