Safety

General Safety
The users must have Read and Understood, but most of all must Respect the
directives described in this manual.
All people coming into contact with the machine on which the numerical
control is installed, whatever their function or whatever state the machine is in
(assembly, disassembly, start-up, production, maintenance, repairs) must have
read and understood the requirements concerning the security and the entirety
of the directives of operation described in the manuals delivered with the
machine.

The operator must be properly trained to work with the machine

on which the numerical control is installed. Improper use of the
numerical control can cause heavy damage on equipment and/or
injuries to people.

Modification of machine parameters can cause important material damage or

lead to irregular product quality.
Do not expose the numerical control to excessive humidity so as to avoid any
risk of electrocution and any deterioration of the equipment.
Make sure the numerical control is disconnected from the mains power before
carrying out any cleaning. Do not use liquids based on alcohol or ammoniac.
In case of malfunction of the numerical control, call a technician.
Do not expose the numerical control to direct sun rays or any other heat source.
Do not place the numerical control in the neighborhood of magnetic equipment
such as transformers, motors or devices which generate interference (welding
machines, etc.)

ModEva with Windows Operating System

The CYBELEC ModEva’s equipped with Windows have been installed at the factory with a
configuration especially made for the numerical control.
This configuration ensures that a minimum of files are present on the ModEva, offering
in this way a maximum speed to execute the programs. This configuration also ensures
that the drivers are correct and that the whole guarantees an optimal functioning of the
numerical control.

As Windows is a very open system, it is advised not to modify the

Windows installation or to install other programs. You risk disturbing
the functioning of the numerical control.
If you wish to install a network or a printer, please call a specialist.

Remember that the ModEva is equipped with USB ports and that it is very easy or even
tempting to install external software, utilities or games coming from the Internet or
specialized magazines.

CYBELEC accepts no responsibility in case of malfunctioning of the

numerical control if other programs have been installed or if the
original configuration has been modified.

We also remind you that the Windows environment is infested with viruses and
utmost caution is to be taken when using data or software coming from the
outside. A regular back-up enables you to get your data in safety.
We certify that our numerical controls are delivered virus free.

The Windows Operating System, like on every computer, is very

sensitive to inappropriate shutdown. Make sure that you properly turn
the system off (see Leaving the Software, page 37), and NEVER by
cutting the power off!

Getting started with ModEva 19T

Depending on software evolutions and the press brake controlled by the ModEva
(configuration/capabilities), the present manual may not fully correspond to the ModEva
that you currently have. However, differences are only minor.

Touchscreens are pressure

sensitive.
Do not press down hard on the
screen.
Pressing hard on the screen will
damage the display. Such damage
is not covered by manufacturer
warranty!

Do not use sharp and/or pointed objects (sheet metal, screwdriver, metal pen ball, etc.) to
touch the screen; only use your fingers (with or without gloves on) or a plastic pen. Make
sure that your gloves do not have metal particles encrusted in the finger tips as they may
also damage the screen.
Take a few minutes to practice pressing gently on the screen, you will find that the screen
is very reactive and it is pleasant to use.

Screen Cleaning Turn off the ModEva to clean its screen. Use only a damp and smooth cloth with soap or a
neutral detergent.

NEVER use solvent, petrol, benzene, alcohols, etc.

page 19), with the Bend Numerical Page (Direct Programming) (see page 25) and with
the 3D Programming (optional) (see page 20).

We assume in this part that all the necessary tools have already been
programmed as well as the machine parameters.

The side flaps with the oblong holes, which are included in section 1, will be made first,
so that a punch of identical length as that for section 2 can be used.

We presume that the operator knows how to reach level 1. Should this not be
the case, see chapter Protection of Access Levels, page 32.

These procedures indicate to the operator a programming method

recommended by CYBELEC, enabling to assimilate by the example the
functioning of the software.

• Activate a special tool by touching the corresponding field, and select it from a list
(deactivate by selecting line 1).
• Change the value of the radius (Ri field) and define how many steps the NC will
make to execute it (CR field).

Programming 99 in the CR field will automatically calculate the maximum

possible step bends. The resulting value may be reduced. However, if it is
increased over the maximum calculated value, the resulting radius and angle
will be drastically affected.

A special punch or /and die means there must be an additional working station.

Bend Order page (left) and the
Gauging page (right)

Whether this page is used to change the order of the bends automatically calculated on
the Bend 2D Page (see page 24), or to manually determine this order, it works just the
same: the order of the bends must be defined first, and then the gauging solutions can be
determined.

Setting Instructions:
1. Make sure that the screen displays the Bend Order page, and touch the bends in
the order that you want them performed. A small number is displayed on the bend,
indicating its position in the sequence.

Pressing the back button will erase the last bend in the sequence. If you
wish to delete all bends, simply touch the button.

2. When the last bend is defined, the display automatically switches to the Gauging
page.
3. Use the and keys to browse through the bend sequence and adapt the
gauging if necessary using these buttons:
• to switch to the next gauging point.
• to switch to the next gauge type (stop, support, special, etc.).

Bend Numerical Page (Direct Programming)

→ Bend Numerical

This type of programming is often used for simple products or by operators having
worked on conventional press brakes without numerical controls.
This page is very user-friendly, for the operator has on one single screen all the
information and fields necessary for the programming of his product.

The bending order is chosen by the operator, since he programs directly each bend.
In this example, we will program the part described in Creating a Part Program (see
page 16).

Setting Instructions:
1. Touch the button and select New Product in the list.
2. On the top of the screen, select the material, enter its thickness and Sigma, and
select the tools to be used for the part by touching their respective fields.
3. Program the required Angle (here 90.0°). The Y depth will be calculated according to
the tools and the material already programmed. It is also possible to directly enter
the Y1 / Y2 values without programming the angle.
4. Program the real position of the back gauge X1 (here 43.00). X2 can be individually
modified if different from X1.

The programming of the real position of the back gauge requires of the operator
to subtract (approximately) the steel thickness from the external dimension of
the product.

5. If necessary, program the specific data for the current sequence (see Position of axes
and other functions, page 26)
6. The two bends of section 1 (see Creating a Part Program, page 16) being identical,
enter 2 in the CY field (CY stands for cycle, meaning this sequence is repeated twice
in the program).
7. To create the subsequent sequence, press the button and select Copy
Bend in the list. It can be seen that all the data has been copied into the second
sequence.

8. Proceed in the same manner as for section 1 to define lengths and angles values.

There is another way to program on this page, which has however some
limitations depending on the product and the chosen bending order. It consists
of entering the external flange dimension in the X field of the back gauge, and
then programming a constant negative correction (see Bending, Tests and
Corrections, page 27) corresponding to (approximately, according to your
experience with the tools and the material) the material thickness.

Position of The bottom section of the Bend Numerical page contains all the extra parameters for a
axes and other bend. Some, like the bending force, are calculated automatically. But all these values can
be modified by the operator.
functions

→ Bend Numerical

According to his needs, the operator can modify the following items:
• TDC, for Top Dead Center. If not programmed, the beam will rise to the maximum
TDC.
• Retraction BG, for the back gauge retraction.
• Bending Length, defines the length of the part being bent, this parameter must already
have been defined during the part programming phase.
• SP, for Switch Point. The point where the beam switches from High Speed to Bending
Speed.
• Start Axes/AF, setting this parameter to External 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.
• Crowning, if available, is automatically calculated.
• Dwell Time, defines the amount of time during which the pressure is maintained.
March

• Bending Speed, defines the downward bending speed and the upward moving speed
from BDC to Pinch Point point.
• Low Speed Distance, defines the portion (expressed in %) of the upward movement
between the TDC and the Pinch Point which will be carried out at low speed; the
continuation of the upward movement is made at high speed.

Complementary explications are found in the 2D Reference Manual.

Bending, Tests and Corrections

This chapter explains how to proceed in order to execute a product. This way of doing is
destined only to demonstrate how to use the numerical control.
The testing and adjusting operations can be carried out in the order decided by the
operator.

Setting Instructions:
1. Go into semi-automatic mode .
2. If necessary, move to the first sequence by means of the and keys.
3. Press the start key in order to position the axes on the first sequence.
4. Carry out the bend with a trial product.
5. Measure the flap and the obtained angle.

6. Touch the button and select Corrections in the list.

In the screen above, the correction of -2.00 mm corresponds to the material

thickness when programming section 2 in Bend Numerical Page (Direct
Programming), page 25.

7. If necessary, correct the flap (in this example, a correction of X = - 0.10 is assumed)
for the current bend.

8. Touch the Angle field, Bend column, and enter the measured angle (93.0 in this case).
The software automatically calculates the necessary correction (-0.436, which can
be seen in the Y1, Y2 fields, in the Bend column).

See also the Corrections section in the 2D Reference Manual.

9. Carry out a second test bend (on the same sequence, with a second test product). If
necessary, make a new correction.

Depending on the material, the machine adjustment and the exactness of the
data introduced, 2 or 3 corrections can be necessary for a bend. This can be
considered as being a normal situation.

10. Proceed in the same manner for all the bends by navigating through the bends by
means of the and keys.
11. When all the bends of the product turn out as expected, go into automatic mode
and choose the work page you like:
• Bend Numerical (see page 9),
• Bend 2D Page (see page 24),
• Bend 3D (see page 9) for 3D software.

Levels There are 4 access levels, 0 to 3.

0 = Programming prohibited, or identical to level 1, according to the configuration in
the machine parameters.
1 = Creation, correction, modification, saving, deleting, transfer of one (or more)
product(s).
2 = Creation, correction, modification, saving, deleting, transfer of the tools.
3 = Programming, modification and transfer of the machine parameters.

Access These levels are reached by pressing and holding more than 2 seconds the
button. Enter first the level desired, then the corresponding password.
The key position is displayed as a small pictograph at the right bottom of the screen.
