INSTALLATION PARAMETERS

These NC's have a number of installation parameters to configure it for a particular application. These parameters may be saved into a peripheral or uploaded from it through the RS-232-C serial communications line. The format for these parameters depends on whether they are general or particular for each axis. If it affects the axes, press the corresponding axis key to modify it. If it is a general parameter, the X display will show its current value. The LCD display will show the description of the parameter and its number. There are several kinds of parameters depending on how to set them: Binary values (1/0) are displayed in an 8-digit row identified as 1 through 8 from right to left.

By default, this NC has some initial tables installed which are identified as rigid material that bend without bending radius and that the user must set for each material. Section 2.3.1. There is a specific way, section 2.3.6 to restore these initial tables. Certain particular material factors may be used as a reference. They have been tried with the indicated tooling and material, where: A = Die opening r = Die edge radius e = Material thickness Punch radius: 1 mm Wila type U die. We suggest A = 8 x e.

On machines with an electronic pressure gage, pressure limiting valve or conventional machines, if they compensate the structure deformation, it is necessary to indicate the sheet metal's resistance to traction associated with the active elasticity table. See section 2.3.4. Sweet sheetmetal's behavior. The elasticity factor is limited to the 600-to-2000 range. For = 90, the inside bending radius R= A/6 approx. The elasticity factor correction (section 2.3.3) inversely affects the bending angle. A 15% increase of the index = 90 decreases approximately 1. Section 4.1.2c describes the TEACH-IN editing method to modify the elasticity factor. With a die A = 20, a depth increment of 0.1 mm means a correction of 1.
NC-200 PB - Operating Manual - Page: 9
2.3.1 GENERATE THE WHOLE ELASTICITY FACTOR TABLE FOR A NEW UNKNOWN MATERIAL
Tables 0 through 19 are open to the machine operator. They may be changed with the NC's own resources or uploaded from a PC. They represent each operator's experience. M0 should be reserved for inflexible materials that do not require bending radius compensation. See example in Section 2.3.2 In order not the deform the structure of the machine, the trials must be carried out with a narrow sheet (between 50 and 100 mm wide). In initial mode, press

On the "Materials" menu, select <New> and press The EXECUTION mode is accessed in the same way adding a canned cycle that offers a sequence to check the elastic behavior of the new material. The first page defines the tools: [Punch number] [] [Die number] [Sheet thickness] [number of associated table.
Knowing the tool dimensions and the sheetmetal thickness, this NC assumes an M00 factor (rigid material) and has the necessary geometrical data to suggest consecutive trial bends for 8 angles between = 120 and the minimum supported by the die selected for the trial, 50 for very closed dies. Press The The to test the 1st angle of 120: axis displays the sequential trial number, from 1 to 8. axis displays the approximate bending depth to know the trial stage.
Press , the Y axis positions at the theoretical depth corresponding to 120 to execute the first bend. Once executed and when the ram or the base reaches the withdrawal position, go to the new page that requests an angle. Enter the real angle obtained and press. Repeat this sequence until completing the whole table.
Page: 10 - Operating Manual - NC-200 PB
After accepting the last angle supported by the chosen die, it calculates the whole table of elasticity factors associated with the angles multiple of 10, thus concluding the trial. For dies that are very closed or in a "U" shape, it will suggest a minimum angle of 50 and 8 trials will be completed. Conventional dies in a "V" shape, with > 85, require at least 4 trials 120, 110, 100 and 90 With a sweet sheet metal, the last trial bends an angle < 90 and it is considered to be finished. If with a sour sheet metal, that angle is not achieved, it means that it must be bent almost all the way to the bottom of the die with the chosen tool in order to the punch to force its geometry (shape) thus achieving the 90. This is typical with fine and very flexible sheets. Using the "Mat, 1" method described in section 2.3.2, repeat only the trial for the 90 to complete the 4 factors needed. These factors are stored in the selected table. Once the proposed Y axis position has been reached, before bending, there are several ways to simplify the trial-and-error stages:. Reduce the number tries to avoid angles smaller than 90. Pressing offers 2 options:

Change factor, < yes >, to ignore the try and go on to the next one. Repeat the method to ignore the next tries. < no >, to quit; all the factors of the values already tested will be lost. Indicate the resulting angle, assumed to be known, without actually bending. Press , indicate the angle,
It suggests the number of the next try.
NC-200 PB - Operating Manual - Page: 11
Modify the suggested depth. For V-type dies with an angle > 88, the 4th try may force a bend to the bottom of the die that may be incompatible with the material and the selected tools. The resulting angle may be too small if the punch is very acute or a vale forced by the shape of the punch that forces its angle, invalidating the geometric calculation of this NC that always assumes air bending. Use to access the depth correction mode. Every push means an increment/decrement of the preset corrector with a range of 30 that is shown on the screen next to a LED-bar indicator. Each correction unit modifies the depth about A/1000 mm where A= aperture of the die in mm. A die whose A = 20 mm admits a maximum correction of 0.6 mm. (30 * 0.020). Once the correction has been assigned, pressing forces a repositioning
movement with a previous move to Y=0 and a later return to the new position. The best try will be obtained when reaching an angle slightly smaller than 90. (85 to 89). The corrector is reset at the end of the trial. The correction should be applied only on the last angle that forces a bend with an interference at the bottom of the die.
Page: 12 - Operating Manual - NC-200 PB
Once their bending limit has been exceeded, the characteristics of the material change. The limit angle depends on the thickness, type of material and punch radius on inflexible materials. The material type number must be indicated for the 8 suggested angles with sheet metal that should not have been previously bent at greater angles. This NC offers resources to display the data saved in the tables (section 2.3.3). It is recommended to write down the values of the "" angle, elasticity factor related to each type of material and the die number used in the trials. Chapter 7 describes how to save and recall tables through the RS-232 serial line.
2.3.2 GENERATE THE ELASTICITY FACTOR OF A SINGLE ANGLE BY TRIAL AND ERROR OF THE BENDING DEPTH
This method is recommended to determine very accurately a single bending angle by testing an unknown material or an angle way out of the 50-120 range even if it belongs to a table already tested or the particular 90 angle described in the previous section. In this trial, the deformation of the machine is not compensated for. It will be carried out with a narrow sheet metal at minimum pressure. In initial mode, press Use

EXECUTION MODES WITH CONTROL FROM THE FOOT SWITCHES AND MANUAL STATION. MODELS A1, B, C
5 stages may be distinguished when executing a block: 1. Previously positioning of the X and Y axes. Some machines have a specific button that the operator must press to force the X axis approach. To start the bending sequence, both axes must reach the programmed position. A buzzer may be installed to indicate the order to the operator. 2. RAPID approach. It is only possible if activated from the manual station. When reaching the speed change point, it changes to SLOW. 3. Bending from the foot switch station depending on the selected mode. RUN1 and RUN2 are the most common ones. Conditioned by the "B" attribute, the X axis may be forced to return when holding the sheet metal. 4. Delay at the final position at maximum pressure conditioned by the programmable "D" attribute. 5. Return to the top dead point. In the RUN 1 and RUN 2 modes, the return is automatic once the delay time has elapsed. At the "C" model with safety pressure gage the bending process is aborted when exceeding the limit value and it returns to the top dead point thus preventing tool damage.

Telediagnosis:

FAGOR AND GOITI, the best solution for bending operations
Internet reaches the shop
It is hard to determine the origin of telediagnosis, but it could be around the 50s when NASA set forth the STARPAHC program whose purpose was to evaluate a medical monitoring system for the astronauts. The latest technological advances in this field have been implemented into PC-based CNCs. Telediagnosis or remote diagnosis (from a PC) is one of the many advantages that have benefited most both OEM and endusers.
The PC-based FAGOR 8070 is a last-generation CNC that offers high-tech features with maximum operating versatility. GOITI, Spanish bending machines manufacturer and member of the DANOBAT group, is a manufacturer that has chosen this CNC for their machines. Thanks to the FAGOR AUTOMATION CNC, GOITI obtains the best performance (shorter machining time and better part finish) in high-speed machining. The calculating power of this CNC provides a block processing time under 1ms. The automatic bending machine shown here is an example of what GOITI offers their customers.This automatic bending machine from DANOBAT offers flexibility, versatility, quality and simplicity for bending operations. It is prepared for an ample range of bends without operator intervention and they may be integrated into a full punching and bending line. It also has an automatic holder-length changing system to make the changes in just a few seconds. GOITI is one of the many manufacturers who find the FAGOR 8070 the best solution to meet their customers needs; in this case for an automatic bending machine.
With this new technique, the CNC manufacturer can inspect, diagnose, maintain and repair its customers machine from its own PC. Regardless of the distance between them, the CNC and the PC communicate via internet through a modem. The purpose of this application is to offer a long-distance technical service without boundaries between the manufacturer of the machine tool and its customer. To make it easier for the customer and the service technicians to access the machine data and, consequently, improve the technical assistance. Problems may be easily detected and troubleshot through telediagnosis avoiding unnecessary travelling for machine servicing technicians and saving considerable amount of time and money. In this line, FAGOR AUTOMATION presents its FAGOR 8070 CNC

Customer feedback
TOMMASO SERRA from SCOT SCOT FORGE , Spring Grove, ILLINOIS (USA)
We decided to use FAGOR and has been a key to our success
When Tommaso Serra joined Scot Forge to lead its machine tool maintenance and rebuilding department nearly seven years ago he had a vision. The 100 year old employee owned open die forging company headquartered in Spring Grove, Illinois (USA) needed to increase production in its 3 plants to meet growing demand for its custom machined forgings. A key component of Scot Forges plan was to standardize on a single CNC vendor. We wanted to keep it simple not only for machine operators but also for system integration and service, Serra notes. We looked at several vendors and in the end we decided to use FAGOR. It was one of the first decisions we made and has been a key to our success. We get CNC, servo, spindle, and feedback systems all from one company that truly does stand behind their product with excellent service and support. Today Scot Forges plants include nearly 40 large CNC machine tools, most of them rebuilt from the ground up using FAGORs complete line of products, all running 3 shifts a day. The company estimates it has saved millions of dollars compared to the purchase of new machines. A case in point is the recent rebuild of a massive 1969 Waldrich Seigen lathe. Bought used and originally a manual machine, it has been converted to full CNC. With a swing of 12 feet, 46 feet between centers, and capable of supporting a work piece weighing more than 100.000 pounds, operators can turn both internal and external features of hollow core forging using the machines 3 independent saddles. Serra estimates a new machine of this size would cost upwards of 4 million dollars. We completed this project ahead of schedule for less than $900.000. The FAGOR brand is so well appreciated that in cases where new machine tools have been purchased, they have been specified with FAGOR CNCs including several large Tacchi lathes and a custom designed Danobat gantry saw. Our people have confidence in FAGOR, not only the products but the people, Serra adds. This is one partnership that has worked for many years, and I expect its success to continue for many more.

CD-ROM WITH INTERNET TECHNOLOGY Our products with product identification
FAGOR AUTOMATION, like every year, has updated its CD-ROM of products. This time, the CD-ROM of products has been created using web technology. It is an application containing all its products and the latest new products and features in 6 languages. This application helps the user to identify the purchase order and it offers all the catalogs in PDF format (in 6 languages) and manuals (in English and Spanish).

STRATEGIC PLAN 2001-2004

FAGOR AUTOMATION has just approved its Strategic Plan for the 2001-2004 period. This plan shows the great expansion that FAGOR AUTOMATION has been experiencing for many years.
