Setting Up DELEM DA-69T Profile-T Software

Introduction

The Profile-T offline program offers a similar user interface as a DA-Touch line Delem control. The previous chapters, describing the operation and use of the DA-Touch control should be used as a reference for using this offline software. This chapter will focus on a few special functions that are only available in the Profile-T software.

Step 1: Checking System Requirements

Before starting the installation of DELEM DA-69T Profile-T, ensure your computer meets the necessary system requirements. To run Profile-T on a computer it should at least be equipped with the following features:

• IBM-compatible PC;

• Minimum Screen resolution of 1024×768;

• Windows XP / Windows 7;

• CD-ROM Player (only for CD-ROM distributed systems);

• Free USB port.

Step 2: Installing Profile-T Software

To install Profile-T, use the installation CD-ROM provided with your software package. Depending on the purchase package the Profile-T software is distributed on a CD-ROM or can be generated at the control.

The complete CD-ROM package contains the following items:

• Profile-T installation CD-ROM;

• USB licence key;

Profile-T software distributed together with the control consists of:

• USB key for installation and back-up purposes;

• USB licence key;

• Installation steps printed inside the Profile-T box.

After a default installation the following icons are present on your Windows Desktop:

Operation manuals of the DA-Touch control

The installation program has also placed a new item named Delem, if no changes were made to the installation, in the Windows Start menu. The following items are shown in this menu:

Profile-T: Profile-T software

Profile-T manuals: Operation manuals of the DA-Touch control

Operating DELEM DA-69T Profile-T

Step 1: Understanding the Profile-T Interface

Upon launching Profile-T, you will be greeted with a user-friendly interface similar to the DA-Touch line Delem control. The mode selection keys at the bottom of the screen help guide the workflow, allowing you to select or generate new products starting from the left and working towards the right.

For programming products, programs, and tools with DELEM DA-69T Profile-T, use the built-in Help (? key) and operation manual included with the software. Unlike a DA-Touch control, Profile-T offers extra functions: the ‘machine library’ button to change machine data, a ‘print’ button in Products mode, and a ‘Transfer’ mode to export products, including tooling, to various locations.

Step 2: Using the Machine Library Function

In DELEM DA-69T Profile-T, it’s crucial that the parameters align with the machine’s control system to ensure offline-generated programs are fully compatible. You can install multiple machines on one offline programming station for comprehensive coverage across your production floor.

To add a machine in Profile-T, use the ‘machine library’ button in Products mode. This action opens a window where you can select ‘install machine’.

SYS file: A back-up file from a DA-Touch control.

DAT file: A .dat file from a DA-Touch control.

DAonW 3.x back-up: Back-up directory from a DAonWindows control running software version V3.x (Profile-T2D and Profile-T3D only).

To create a SYS file on a DA-Touch control, choose ‘backup system’ in Machine mode on the system information page.

When Profile-T is generated from the control a machine data file (i.e. a .dat file) is generated automatically and copied to the USB installation stick, and is loaded automatically into the Profile-T software during installation.

Please contact the machine supplier how to get the backup of the DAonWindows control.

In the example below a SYS file from a DA-Touch control is imported. The name of the machine in Profile-T is the same as the name of the control on the machine. After installation of the machine in Profile-T the machine name can be changed (edit -> rename machine) if necessary.

You can switch between the installed machines by selecting the required machine name and then press the button ‘select machine’.

With the button ‘edit’ the selected machine can be renamed, removed or copied.

Utilizing Special Functions of Profile-T

Step 1: Printing Product Designs

In Products mode, utilize the ‘print’ button to generate a printout of the selected product. This feature is available in Profile-T2D and Profile-T3D and opens the standard Windows printer menu for you to choose your printer settings.

Step 2: Transferring Product Data

When you finish designing a product and generating its CNC program, transfer the data to a USB device using the ‘Transfer’ mode. Profile-T offers multiple options for copying program data to a directory.

In this mode there are 5 options:
product: Copy the program data to a specified directory.

product + tools: Copy the program data and used tooling data to a specified directory.

DLC product: Export the program data to DLC file format and copy it to a specified directory (Profile-T2D and Profile-T3D only).

DLC product + tools: Export the program data and used tooling data to DLC file format and copy it to a specified directory (Profile-T2D and Profile-T3D only).

DXF product: Export the product including the bend deductions as a contour in a DXF file and copy it to a specified directory (Profile-T2D and Profile-T3D only).

Additionally other products besides the selected product, and other tools can be transferred as well.

Integrating the DELEM DA-69T Profile-T into your system enhances operational efficiency by providing a seamless interface for designing and transferring machine data. This simple setup and operation can optimize your workflow, ensuring you get the most out of your machinery.

Conclusion

In summary, integrating the DELEM DA-69T Profile-T with your system requires careful alignment of machine and control parameters to ensure compatibility. Follow these key steps to ensure a seamless process: assess and align machine parameters, utilize the Machine Library feature for machine addition, and ensure proper generation and installation of machine data files.

To optimize your system's performance and enable efficient offline programming, verify that all parameters match those on your machine's control system. This integration facilitates smooth operation across your production floor.
