Introduction

The ERFOLD 2D-3D CNC system is a high-precision folding machine controller, designed for graphical and numeric programming, allowing for intuitive part creation and bending simulation.

Standard Interface

  • Touchscreen navigation for easy operation.
  • Multi-axis control for advanced bending sequences.
  • Remote service options through TeamViewer or DWService.

Setup Pages

  • Preset values must be configured for all axes before operation.
  • System reports track operational performance and error history.
  • Language, unit measurement, and network settings can be adjusted.

Programming

  • Users can create custom bending sequences with numerical and graphical input.
  • Tool setup allows for defining clamp and fold tool positions.
  • Supports automatic and manual radius bend programming.
  • Simulation feature for testing bending operations before production.

Production

  • Step-by-step execution of bending sequences.
  • Automated production mode with predefined parameters.
  • Tool Up function to configure clamping and folding tools.

Axes Description

  • Z-axis: Distance between the clamping tool tip and the lower beam.
  • X-axis: Distance between back gauge fingers and folding tool rotation center.
  • A-axis: Height adjustment for folding tool.
  • Y-axis: Rotation angle of the folding tool.

Importing DXF Files

  • DXF files can be imported for part creation.
  • Supports automatic bend detection and 3D part conversion.
  • Users can manually assign bend angles and radii.

Troubleshooting

  • Common errors include tool misalignment and incorrect axis configurations.
  • Machine logs should be reviewed for error messages and alerts.
  • Calibration is required before running new programs to avoid malfunctions.

Appendix

  • Explanation of cambering functions.
  • Best practices for DXF part dimensioning.
  • Step-by-step process for converting 2D DXF files into 3D parts.
  • Guidelines for configuring network settings and FTP file transfer.
