When starting out with your new Piranha Press Brake, there’s a limited amount of data in the material library in your Delem DA 6060 controller. There’s an easy way to add any material to the database. All you need is a material cert provided from your source that lists the tensile strength of the material you’re using.
- Go to settings and access the tab labelled “Materials.”
- Scroll down to find an empty line.
- Plug in the name of your new material.
- Enter the tensile strength of the new material in tons per square inch.
- The controller will calculate the other two values, “E” and “n” automatically.
Your new material is now stored in the controller’s material library. Any time you select a material for a new job, you’ll see your new material in the drop-down menu. You can select it and the press brake will automatically use those values to give you a more precise bend.
