Hurco Autobend Single Axis Control Microprocessor Controller For Power Press Brake Gauging Systems From Hurco Hurco Manufacturing Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. The Most Advanced Control in Automatic Press Brake Gauging The Latest Microprocessor Electronics Autobend's unique gauge retract feature has been advanced even further to allow 1 to 60 seconds of and Sophisticated Software Developments programmed retract time. This feature gives the operator Through advanced microprocessor circuitry, Autobend IV maximum control of gauge positioning. achieves higher press brake productivity with more Autobend IV. From Hurco, the originator and developer accurate sheet metal parts. Advanced in design and of retrofit press brake gauging systems. capability, Autobend is also an easy-to-use, practical system. Power Pushbutton is illuminated when power is on. During ON power is fed to control logic. Data entered during power is entered during the ON, a battery system retains the memory for up to 3 months in the event power goes off. Master Clear Depressing the MASTER CLEAR pushbutton twice in The clearly identified display keys and carry-forward sequence causes memory for all stations to be cleared. feature make data entry effortless. The control can This sequence can be started only if the SET-UP/RUN be used to program one part at a time or store up to 30 part programs 60 optional. Each program is identified with up to five-digit numbers, allowing program recall in just seconds. switch is in SET-UP position. If the button is accidentally Bend Allowance pressed once, the MASTER CLEAR button will be illuminated, but the memory will not be master cleared Pushing the BA key and following it by numbers will and depressing any other pushbutton will return the cause the gauge to actually position to a dimension control to its normal state. which is the programmed gauge setting plus or minus the bend allowance. This feature permits the operator Emergency Stop to program direct print dimensions. Note: It is not necessary to enter insignificant leading or Depressing this button stops gauge movement by trailing zeroes. Also, through addition and subtraction it immediately shutting off power to the servo drives and is possible to modify either program dimensions or bend causes the displays to blank out, except for four allowances. decimal points that are illuminated to indicate emergency stop condition. Inch/mm Determines units of measurement and displays inches or mm. Changing the keylock switch instantly converts displayed data to the other system of measurement. Set-Up/Run Key This keyswitch determines operating mode. In SET-UP mode, program data can be entered, modified, reviewed or erased. In RUN mode, program data can be reviewed but not modified. Both AUTOMATIC and SINGLE CYCLE buttons are functional in RUN mode. Automatic This pushbutton turns power on to the servo amplifier and puts the system in automatic mode. After depressing the AUTOMATIC pushbutton, gauge will go to that position and automatically position to subsequent stations as the press brake is cycled. Microprocessor control swings freely on pendant arm. Single Program Keys This switch turns on power to the servo amplifier and In addition to the numerical keys, the following keys are causes the gauge to position to the NEXT STATION. available. Once this switch has been pressed, the system will not respond to ram movement.  Next Station Display Keys Pushing the NEXT STAT key allows the operator to create additional stations from the previous station data. Entry of numbers into control memory must always be without having to reenter it. If any of the data needs to be modified, the operator merely depresses the appropriate display key followed by the proper numerical station information. Pushing the STA key and then keying-in a number will program the station number for the bend dimension to Gauge Retract follow, when the control is in SET-UP mode, or will permit positioning of the gauge to a specific station previously programmed when in the RUN mode. A station memory is standard with optional capacity for available of stations. Dimension Pushing the DIM key and subsequent gauge dimensions required will program the gauge settings. During the retract operation the approximate time left until the gauge moves to its next station is displayed in the station display, allowing the operator to see how much longer the gauge will remain in retracted position. Retract function is also identified by the RETRACT light in the display. Front Gauge Program Number If an optional front gauge system is used in conjunction with the rear gauge, pushing the FRONT GAUGE key programs the controller to command the front gauges into the dimension selected and causes the rear gauge to remain at a retracted position during the use of the front gauges. Pushing the front gauge key also turns on the FRONT GAUGE light in the display. Special Function Use of the SPEC FUNC key provides access to the tape cassette operation and internal diagnostics routines. The PROG CLEAR key is used to delete a complete program or a single station. This key is active only when the SET-UP/RUN switch is in SET-UP position. Optional Control Features MDS Multiple Depth stop Option Numerical Keypad The numerical keypad is used to enter numerical information. Plus and Minus Used when entering negative bend allowance and when modifying previously entered information. Clear The CLEAR key is used to clear the controller memory of all information for the function called for just prior to the pressing of this key. This key is active only when the SET-UP/RUN switch is in SET-UP position. Multiple Program Keys These keys are used for creating or easily accessing the multiple programs stored in the controller memory. Next Program Pressing the NEXT PROG key will step the system to the next part program that is stored in memory and display the number of that program in the display. To use that program, simply press the STA display key, and the first station of that program will be displayed. Stations Available Pressing the STAT AVAIL key causes the control to display the number of unprogrammed stations that are available Provides a means for programming the desired bend Pressing the STAT AVAIL key causes the control to angle and clearance on top of the work for each station. display the number of unprogrammed stations that are Special entry keys provided.
