Comparison and Selection of Press Brake CNC Systems

With the continuous development of science and technology, the intelligent numerical control system has led the electro-hydraulic bending machine to a new height. From the most common DA-52S to the upgraded DA-69T system, the Dutch brand DELEM has become the most commonly used high-quality systems of hydraulic bending machine.

Among which DA-52S, DA-53T, DA-58T, DA-66T, and DA-69T have become the main system of our company's electro-hydraulic bending machine because of its convenient operation and powerful functions. So what are the characteristics of each of these five systems, and how to choose?

DA-52S control system

The integrated DA-52S numerical control system can not only use torsion axis synchronous bending machine control, but also electro-hydraulic synchronous bending machine control. The panel mounting structure based on 4-axis control can be installed directly on the electric cabinet or in a suspended cabinet.

The DA-52S system with a friendly user interface and TFT true color LCD display possesses all the basic functions of bending machine control. Its unique "shortcut key" method provides fast and concise programming. Y-axis angle programming, workbench deflection compensation function, and pressure control are all standard configurations. The DA-52S system provides a stable and reliable solution. The equipped USB interface greatly facilitates the quick backup of products and molds.

DA-52S is an important transition for DELEM to develop from torsion axis bending machine CNC system to electro-hydraulic bending machine CNC system. DA-50Touch series bending machine system provides a multi-functional solution for powerful electro-hydraulic bending machines. Of course, DA-52S may not be powerful enough compared to the subsequent DA-53T or even DA-69T, but considering the price, DA-52S is very suitable for users with no high requirement.

DA-53T control system

The brand-new DA-53T is a new member of this series, providing a perfect full-touch control solution for electro-hydraulic bending machines. The panel type is the basic installation method, which can control up to 4 axes, and the suspended installation method can be selected.

It is equipped with a 10.1" high-resolution TFT color wide-body display, integrated with an industrial-grade multi-touch screen, allowing easy access to the Delem user interface. You can use shortcut keys to quickly switch between programming and processing interfaces. And the overall design is based on ergonomics which is optimized to make the operation more convenient and user-friendly.

Through the quick and convenient "programming directly to production" process, greatly reducing the time of machine tool adjustment and trial folding. The USB interface facilitates quick backup/restoration of molds and products. Standard Configuration 3+1 (Y1, Y2, X-axis, and deflection compensation), and another optional axis can be used for the R axis or Z axis.

DA-53T Main features

• "Hot-key” touch navigation
• 10.1" high-resolution colour TFT
• Up to 4 axes (Y1,Y2 + 2 aux. axes)
• Crowning control
• Tool / material / product library
• Servo and frequency inverter control
• Advanced Y-axis control algorithms for closed-loop as well as open-loop valves.

Compared with the DA-52S system, the DA-53T retains the advantages of compensation system control, USB backup and recovery, and 24 languages available. It enlarges the screen to 10.1" and makes the screen touchable. Screen, and supports offline software use, which makes it more convenient and smooth for users to use, but the price has also increased accordingly.

DA-58T control system

DA-58T represents the new level of development of a complete 2D graphics control solution for electro-hydraulic synchronous bending machines.

15" high-precision color TFT display, integrated industrial-grade multi-touch technology, can easily access the user application program interface of ELEM. It provides more direct quick navigation function keys for product programming and machine setting, shortening the operation time. Through fast and convenient programming to the production process, the time of machine tool adjustment and test bending is reduced to a minimum.

Independent CNC programming interface, all axes automatically calculate the position, real proportional machine tool, and mold simulation bending process. DA-58T provides 2D programming that includes automatic calculation and collision detection of the bending process. The production model of DA-58T provides the simulation of the bending process of the product to help the operator operate in the processing. The standard machine tool functions Y1-Y2 and X-axis, the second two gauge shafts can be used for R-axis or Z-axis, and the compensation shaft is also standard configuration.
