This parameter allows choosing between mm, inch and none for the length unit to be used in the CybTouch.
When none is selected, the units used are millimeters.
③Force Units
This parameter allows choosing between ton, kN and tons for the force unit to be used in the CybTouch.
④Sigma Units
This parameter allows choosing between kg/mm2, N/mm2 and psi(*1000) for the sigma unit to be used in the CybTouch.
⑤Show axes position values
This function will display the axes positions on the Bend Numerical Page (see page 14).
◆When set to no, the positions of the axes are displayed during the respective movements.
◆When set to yes, the positions of the axes are constantly displayed under their respective set-point values.
⑥RFLink
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.
⑦Clear indexation
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.
⑧Set Clock
Allows the user to set the time and date on the CybTouch.
⑨Touchscreen Calibration
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.
⑩Brightness xx% Eco xx%
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.
⓫Program counter mode
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.
●Manual Axes Movement
In the course of setting up a machine, it is sometimes necessary to be able to move the axes manually, for example when changing the tooling. This can be done from two different places:
◆ In the Program or EasyBend page.
◆ In the Manual Movement page.
①In the Program or EasyBend page
In the Program or Easy Bend page, axes can be moved manually only when the tool management is deactivated.
Setting Instructions:
1. Touch the
button and then touch the
icon (if available); it will become gray.
2. Touch the
button to come back to the program page.
3. Touch the Y axis icon 
and use the manual buttons (
and 
) to move it.
4. Proceed in the same manner to move the back gauge axis.
②In the Manual Movement page
The manual movements also have their dedicated page, which can be accessed following the link below.
(Menu Button) → Manual movement
Setting Instructions:
1. Select the axis that you want to move:
•
for the back gauge X axis.
• 
for the back gauge R axis.
2. Touch the buttons to move the selected axis.
3. Use the foot switch (Low Speed Down movement) and this button 
(High Speed Up) to move the beam.
●Service Page
(Menu Button) → Other menus → Service → Service
①Set Axis
Allows the operator to manually adjust the position of the back gauge (axis X) and the beam (axis Y, if available).
This function must be used with utter care and only by experienced
personnel. Wrong settings may mechanically damage the machine.
Settings are lost after indexing the machine.
②Maintenance
The Maintenance page displays the hardware status of the CybTouch and lets the operator perform different maintenance actions.
(Menu Button) → Other menus → Service → Service → Maintenance
All the following actions require codes and should only be performed by technicians or upon request of a technician.
▲Defrag
This function will rearrange the memory space of the CybTouch. Simply touch it and follow the instructions given in the yellow pop-up window.
▲Format
This function will erase all data in the CybTouch. Only use this with the help of a technician.
▲Internal backup
This function is specially designed for OEM and support.
Usually a machine parameters’ backup is made by the machine manufacturer or the company who services the machine. This backup allows a maintenance technician to restore original working parameters if necessary.
Should there be a need to restore parameters, call on a maintenance technician and follow his instructions.
Do not try to use this function unless you are in dire need.
Before using this last function, make sure that all your files have been transfered outside the CybTouch (using CybTouchTools, see the relevant Instructions manual).
③Information
The Information page displays the names and versions of the softwares installed on the CybTouch. Pressing the Advanced button shows more detailed information.
(Menu Button) → Other menus → Service → Service → Information
④Configuration options
Touching this menu opens the following page, where one can find the computer’s identification and manage the machine’s options.
(Menu Button) → Other menus → Service → Service → Configuration options
◆Serial number
This is the serial number of the CybTouch. It is entered at the factory at the end of the machine’s initial setup and is related to the machine’s option list.
Changing the serial number means that all the options installed on the
machine can be lost.
◆Computer ID
This line displays an identification code that is unique to each CybTouch and guarantees, together with the serial number, a correct identification of the machine.
◆Option list
This function opens a yellow pop-up window where all the options installed on the CybTouch are displayed.
◆New option code
The function opens an alphanumerical pad where the code of the new option must be entered. The format of an option code is: ABC-DEF-GHI-JKLM
●Bend Numerical Page
①Available functions on the Bend Num page
The Bend Numerical Page is normally the working page, from which the bends are executed, and most of the navigation originates from and leads to.
◆Current step (sequence) number
Touching the step number will open a yellow pop-up window as shown here, with 3 different actions to choose from:
• Insert step: this function will insert a step after the current one.
• Delete step: this function will erase the current step.
• Go to step: this function allows jumping directly to the desired step.
●More Page
Bend Numerical Page
●Available functions on the More page
The More page displays parameters related to the part, and depending on the CybTouch configuration and the type of action performed, it also displays various settings for the current bend.
①Tooling management
When deactivated (grayed), this icon disables the Punches (see page 19) icon and the Dies (see page 20) icon from the Bend Numerical Page (see page 14) (see also Bending without Tools Management, page 26).
②Back gauge retraction
The back gauge retraction can be activated/deactivated using this icon. It is possible to modify the value by touching it. This is a sequence parameter, meaning it can be modified with each step of the program.
③Force
The force with which the part will be bent must be entered here. The operator’s experience, as well as a trial-and-error procedure, will help define the most appropriate force for the bend.
④Opening (TDC)
When activated, this parameter allows defining the duration during which the beam moves back up from BDC. This value must be set to allow the operator enough room to extract its bent part from between the tools.
When this field is deactivated (grayed), the beam moves back all the way up to its maximum limit switch.
⑤Step bending
Activating this field allows programming a large radius bend, by entering the value of the radius and in how many steps we want to make it.
For the result to be coherent, the number of bends to realize the angle must be such that the length of each segment is greater than half the length of the V opening of the die.
⑥Dwell time
Allows defining the duration of the dwell time, meaning the time during which the punch remains at BDC before coming back up.
When this field is deactivated (grayed), the default Dwell Time value defined in the machine parameters is applied.
⑦Number of parts
The operator can enter here the total amount of parts to be produced. Every time all the sequences of the program are executed, hence a part is completed, this counter is updated of one unit (increased or decreased, see Program counter mode, page 8). When the amount of parts is reached, a yellow pop-up window signals it to the operator
⑧Back gauge manual control
Activating this parameter gives manual control over the back gauge movement. This means the operator must personally give the start to the back gauge movement, using for example the foot switch or the start button.
⑨Material thickness
The material thickness must be entered here. This value is used to calculate the bending depth according to the tooling chosen. This is also of course a part parameter.
⑩Material sigma
The material sigma can be entered here. This value is to be used as an information for the operator. This is also of course a part parameter.
●Punches
●Dies
●Naming Tools
It is recommended that you use naming conventions for your tools.
Below you will find a simple convention allowing you to precisely identify a punch or die through its name.
Of course, depending on your needs you may need to create morerules for punch and die naming.
Most versions of CybTouch 6 for press have Tools Management (see page 19), which can be activated or deactivated (see Tooling management, page 15). However, some versions, depending on the press brake manufacturer, do not have tools management at all. This changes a bit the procedure, and you can find them here:
◆ Bending with Tools Management,
◆ Bending without Tools Management (see page 26).
In this chapter the machine is considered operational: machine parameters, tools (see Tools Management, page 19) are already configured and programmed.
●Bending with Tools Management
The first page displayed when you switch on the CybTouch is the Bend Numerical Page.
This is where one can create programs containing the bend sequences required to produce a complete part.
●Bending and Corrections
All program corrections are made in the Bend Numerical Page (see page 14). According to his preferences, the operator can choose to execute all the steps of the program one after the other, making corrections along the way. Or he can choose to apply all the
corrections necessary to the same step before moving to the next one using the SemiAutomatic mode.
Corrections can be made to:
◆ The angle (Y-axis, see Angle Correction, page 25).
◆ The back gauge position (X-axis, see Back gauge Correction, page 25).
●Bending without Tools Management
For versions that do not have tool management, it is impossible for the operator to select with or without tool management (see Tooling management, page 15). The selection is simply not available.
Working without tools management means that you can program the back gauge value for X axis and the bend depth value for Y axis only in mm (or inch).
All corrections are thus also manually made in mm/inches.
●Saving a Program
After creating a program, an operator can save the program in order to use it again:
1. Touch the Program number (e.g. P0).
2. Touch Save program.
3. Enter the number you wish to give to the program (e.g. 1 for P1), followed by .
4. The program is now called P1 and is saved in the CybTouch.
●Loading a Program
To call (load) a program:
1. Touch the Program number (e.g. P1).
2. Touch Call program.
3. Select the program to be loaded from the list (e.g. 002 for P2).
4. The selected program (P2) is then loaded into the work memory and is ready to be used.
●Deleting a Program
To delete a program:
1. Touch the Program number (e.g. P1).
2. Touch Delete program.
3. Select from the list the program to be deleted.
4. Touch to confirm.
