APPENDIX F: PROGRAMMING WITH L-ALPHA
In this manual, it is being assumed that the DNC is configurated in such a
way to be operational (i.e. the tools and machine parameters have already
been programmed).
2 programming methods are accessible by the operator.
The L-alpha method allows to enter a profile to be bended with the external
dimensions and angles of each face. The DNC calculates the unfolded length.
After having programmed the bending order, the DNC will calculate the stop
positions.
Before starting to program a product, make sure that the tools necessary to
make the product exist in the DNC memory and write down the numbers of
the punches and dies to be used.
To do this proceed as described below:
If you are already familiar with the tools present in the DNC, you may go
directly to
Appendix F: Programming with L-Alpha, page 38).
Looking up the Punch List
To display the tools list in the P or M field, hit the key.
Select the tool from the list then press
again to return
If you don't find a punch which corresponds to your needs, you can create
one.
In this case refer to chapter Appendix E: Tool Programming, page 34.
It is possible, if more than four punches are programmed to see them by
pressing the
key.
Looking up the Die List
Proceed in the same way as described above for punches; access from the
main menu LIST OF DIES.
