Setting Correction Data with ESA S630 Database

Here’s a concise guide on how to efficiently set correction data using the ESA S630 Database, ensuring your projects are executed with precision and accuracy.

l Data Entry for Corrections:

 For back gauge axes, input correction data in millimeters (mm), and for bend angles, use degrees.

 Example: Enter +2.0° for a bend that is closed by 2° or -2.0° if a bend is open by the same amount.

l Adjusting Bend Length:

 If bend length is less than desired, input a positive value in the Corr. X1 Field.

 If greater, input a negative value corresponding to the detected difference.

l Sequential Corrections:

 Consecutive corrections are cumulative; the latest value entered adds to previous ones.

 Example: If initially corrected by +3.0° but still needs adjustments, an additional 1.0° is necessary.

l Individual Cylinder Adjustments:

 Correct angles separately for Y1 and Y2 cylinders.

 General corrections apply the same angle adjustment to both cylinders.

l Benefits of Pitch and Piece Corrections:

 Simultaneously correct pitch and piece data during the same step.

 Example: Combine a step correction of -2.0° with a piece correction of -1.0° for a total of -3.0°.

Steps for Successful Correction:

1. Press this button to reposition back gauge axes after correction

2. Execute the bend again and verify its accuracy.

3. If correct, proceed with all bends in the ESA S630 Database program using navigation buttons. If incorrect, adjust current bend data further.

Once corrections for all bends in the ESA S630 Database are finalized:

l Initiate the automatic cycle for the selected bend by pressing .

l Explore new methods for setting corrections as documented.

Harness the power of the ESA S630 Database to ensure your programming tasks are performed precisely, reducing errors and improving overall project quality.

Using a Database (Optional)

General Information

The database uses linear interpolation to fill in theoretical correction values for bends without previously saved corrections. This ensures consistent performance across different bend types, continually enhancing machine learning.

Each ESA S630 Database consists of multiple tables, each corresponding to specific materials. Customize the database by selecting various fields—like bend angle, sheet metal width, and V-die width—when configuring your database.

Fields are categorized into key fields for unique record identification and correction fields for storing associated correction values. Properties such as sorting order and interpolation settings enhance search efficiency within the database.

Example of a database

An example of a database called FERO will be illustrated in this document.

The structure of the FERO database consists of 6 fields, 4 keys, and 2 corrections values:

– (*)Angle of the bend

– (*)Width of the sheet metal

– (*)Thickness of the sheet metal

– (*)Tools

– Correction of the Y values

The asterisks (*) indicate the key fields, the remaining fields represent the corrections acquired.

The tables

Each table is identified by the number of the corresponding material (from 1 to 99). It is also possible to associate a descriptive text with the table.

All the corrections acquired over time for that specific material are also saved in each of the tables.

Each table generated inside a database inherits its structure, that is, the same key and correction fields and relativeproperties.
