SYSTEMFEATURES

INTEGRATED SHEET SUPPORTANDMATERIAL POSITIONING:

Work pieces arefully supported by theback gaugetablebeneath the clampingjaw, and automatically positioned to an accuracyof +/- .004".The back gaugeis positioned using a ballscrew and isdriven by aservomotor forlow noise operation. The servomotor automatically recovers from back gaugedisplacements ashighas .625inches.

Nineconveniently spaced fingers providepositive contactwiththesheetedgeat all times and thefingers willtravel downto0.0"position. Maximum back gaugetravel can bereached in lessthan 3seconds using a threestagedesign combining highspeedwith compactspace requirements.The operation of thepop-upback gaugefingers is controlled pneumatically.Air suppliedtothe back gaugefingers must becleanand filtered with an operating pressureof 80-100psi.Thebackgaugeiscapablesupporting sheets up to 700lb.(318kg).The standardbackgaugedepthis40” withoptional61” and122” depths.

AUTOMATIC DUAL CLAMPING SYSTEM:

Clamping pressureexerted by theupper jaw is variabletoaccommodatea widevariety of materials,thicknesses and finishes. Programmableclampingandhemmingpressures areCNCcontrolled so no tool changeisrequired to createopen, closed, ortear drop hems. The positionof theupper beamismeasured by a closed loop circuit for improved forming of hems and the open heightcan beprogrammedforeasypart handling.

ECS 904CNCCONTROLSYSTEM:

The ECS 904 system enhances the skills ofthe sheetmetal fabricator by providing the means to quickly transfertheoperator'sknowledge intouseful part programs.

Windows-based software is combinedwitha powerful machine controller, specifically designed forthe Autobrake.This system delivers a highpowered stable solutionfor all folding needs.

The ECS 904 software comes packaged within anIntel® Pentium® computer combined with a 15” flatpanel display forhigh speedsystem response, and easy viewingof the operatorinterface. The computer system is pre-configured forconnection to aninter-officenetwork.

The computer is housedwithinasealed oil-tight enclosureto preventdust and water contamination. The front of the enclosure hinges open with the computerattached, giving accessto the USB, serial, and networkconnections.

Computerspecificationsare:

15" high resolution anti-glare flat panel touch screen

Integrated industrial computerwith internal aircooling

Intel Pentium-M 1.6 gigahertz processor or greater

512 megabytes of RAM memory

64 megabytes of videoRAM

40.0 gigabyte harddrive

The ECS Control integrates the operation of the positioning gauge,bending leaf, andclamping mechanisms,andhas the capability to store over one millionpartprograms.

PROGRAMMINGFEATURES:

The ECS 904 system provides greater flexibility to the operator with fewer keystrokes,resulting inauser interface thatis easy to learn, andincreases productivity.

Creation ofpart programs canbedone by textentry in the mainoperations screen, orpart profiles can be drawn andconverted intoprograms. Both part programs anddrawings can be stored onthe computer'shard drive for future use. Part profile drawingsare created in vector format, allowing the partto change its shape andsize dynamicallyas bendangles and linelengths are altered.Parts can then bevisually verified as correct prior to creating thepart program. Bends can be inserted, deleted,or altered as the operator desires. Therefore, stored profiles can be changed into other types ofshapes on demand. Hem and radius macros can also beusedto create architectural shapes, or othercurvedforms.

Part programs anddrawings are stored and accessed fromthe memory usingaflexible Windows based file handling system.Programs canbe stored in any number ofdirectories for easyorganization accordingto any factors desired, suchas: customername, product name,part type, etc. Program filenames can be any combinationoflettersor numbers, allowing programs to be identified by part form, company partnumber, or anyother criteria desired. Programs created using the drawing portion of theTitan system show a small picture of the partfor quickprogram identification. Incorporated into the file system isa quick searchtool that allows programs to bedisplayed by key portions of their names.This limits the selections displayed, and speeds programaccess forthe operator.

The control system includes several backupfeatures.The setup parameters that control the operation of the Autobrake canbe stored atanytime to a file name.These settings can thenbe retrieved as needed tomaintain correct machine performance. This provides a fast secure method toreestablish the parameter settingsdue to anydisruption. Once per month the operator is reminded tomakea complete backup ofthe ECS software system. This backup stores all ofthe critical systemsettings, part programs, and part profile drawings present intheTitanoperation directory.Eachbackupmadeis stored separate from thenext,providing a history that canbe accessed if needed, and preserving the operator's part programs. Backups are placed in a USB flash drive connected tothe computer control head,or may be directed to another drive; either local or network.

CONSTRUCTION:

TheAutobrakeis aplateand weldmentsteel construction,deliveringsuperior performance and features in a simplified rigid design.Endhousings area plate-type construction bringing drivecomponentsclose together forimproved stiffnessand performance. Actuatingmechanisms aresecured in rigid mounts attheoutsideof the housings,allowing easy maintenance.

Clamping and hemmingareprogrammed. The upper beamis drivento programmed settings on both ends by abrakemotor and eccentricdriveof thebeam with a connectingshaft. Clampingand hemming power is delivered to the clampjawsby a series of spring washers to providevariableclamping pressures with a shock-absorbing end stop. This provides reliableclamping pressureregardlessof material thickness. Integral totheupper beamaretheways withnon-metallicgibingto guideandretain the upper beam withintheend housings.

Thefoldingbeam consistsof a thickplateformaximumresistance to bendingforces with amachined seat to receivethestandard .787" (20mm), thethin .390" (10mm)or

.250" (7mm) bending blade. Amicrometer nut setting allows adjustment for large variationsinmaterial thickness. Actuatingmembers rotatethebending beam into positionfrom both ends of themachine,using a variablespeed drive(VSD) for accurate control overprogrammed bend angles.Mechanisms aremounted withinreinforced connections for improved performance.

Thelower beam is a welded reinforced structurefabricatedofthicksteel keyedinto the end housings.The lower beam is pinned inplace, and coupled to theendhousingsfor improved rigidity.Theadvanced designof thisbeam delivers superiorhemming results.

Access to theAutobrake's electrical system is locatedat theright-hand portionof the machinethrough aquick-lock enclosure. This enclosure houses thepowerandcontrol devices that drivethemachine,and extends behindtheright-hand coverfor reduced machinelength.

CROWNING SYSTEM:

Thesystem provides a quick easymethod for adjustingthecentercrown of thebending toolingto improve bend accuracy,and adjust thework material straightnesswhen forming radius bends.Thesystemis manually adjusted, and locked in place bythe operator.

Optional Features and Accessories

OPTIONALLASERSCANNINGSYSTEM:

An optionallaser scanning systemcan be mounted tothemachine toprovide additional protection to the operator during clamping of the work material. This system includes a programmable scanning device, mounting brackets, safetyrelay, and mating cables.

This system is mounted along the lower portionof the machine legs, and scans for interrupts inits sensing field. The field shape isprogrammed into thescanner, and covers the length ofthemachine betweenthe legs. Thefieldis composed of two areas: awarningzone and asafety zone.

Thewarning zone is projected outside ofthe safety zone, and a warning lightis illuminated whenever an object enters this zone. However, theclampingfunctionof the machine is allowed to proceed. When an object enters the safety zone,the first stage clamping of theupper beam is halted until the object is withdrawn from the safety zone. Once theupperbeam completes the first stageclamping, the laser scanningsystem is disabled, allowing thework materialto be clamped andformed.The scanningsystem is restored oncethe upper beam is raisedabove the .250” opening position.
