Vision System

The machine comes standard with a positioning table, but the basic model can be equipped with an optional vision system for defining the zero position of the sheet. Double-sheet detection is safeguarded by an optional sheet-weight sensor, which will be mounted in the gripper.

Functional Interface

The SafanDarley E-Control is fully touch screen, whereby the only buttons visible on the screen are those that are needed during operation. The controls simply run on a PC under Microsoft Windows®, the software was developed based on Microsoft.net Framework. The unit is fitted with a 100 MB Ethernet UTP network connection as standard. The instructions are transmitted to a central processor from the SafanDarley E-Control controls, which in turn regulates the various axis via a so-called CAN-BUS (Control Area Network).

The system can be programmed quickly and accurately thanks to a ‘self-teaching’ database with data on materials, tools and previous, already corrected bending. The SafanDarley E-Control can be coupled to the majority of off-line programming systems.

The controls are set-up for web-based communication such as online diagnoses and loading software updates via the web. Machines can also be coupled to each other in a group and tooling databases can be shared. By monitoring and analysing your operating data online, SafanDarley will be in a position to optimize your production process remotely in the near future.
