1. What Is the Delem DA-58T?

The DA-58T is a 2D graphical press brake CNC in Delem's compact DA-50Touch family. It is designed to provide modern graphical programming and reliable production control without requiring the larger modular architecture used by Delem's DA-60S controllers.

Delem describes the DA-58T as a complete 2D graphical control solution for synchronized press brakes. The controller calculates axis positions, prepares a bend sequence, and can simulate the sequence using machine and tool data.

The 15-inch touchscreen gives the operator enough workspace to program a product graphically while maintaining a compact controller footprint.

Automatic bend-sequence calculation and collision detection make the DA-58T especially useful for multi-bend components where sequence planning can otherwise take significant operator time.

The production mode graphically simulates the bend process and guides the operator through the sequence, helping reduce orientation mistakes during production.

The DA-58T is therefore a strong middle-ground controller for companies that want more than numerical programming but do not require the largest screen or most advanced modular machine integration.

2. DA-58T Features and Technical Specifications

Delem's current DA-58T technical information lists a 15-inch high-brightness TFT display with 1024 × 768 resolution, 32-bit color, industrial PCT full-touch control, LED backlighting, 1 GB of storage, and 256 MB of product and tool memory.

Standard functions include 2D graphical touchscreen programming, bend-sequence calculation, crowning control, servo and frequency-inverter control, advanced Y-axis control algorithms for closed-loop and open-loop valves, USB/peripheral interfacing, and Profile-T offline software support.

Delem lists standard Windows networking as an option, together with TandemLink for suitable tandem applications and protractor interfacing as a correction aid.

The actual machine configuration can differ. A feature supported by the controller is only available when the press brake manufacturer has installed and configured the required hardware.

Machine buyers should therefore request a complete axis and option list rather than assuming all DA-58T-equipped machines are identical.

3. Why Choose the DA-58T?

The DA-58T is a practical choice for manufacturers that want graphical programming and automatic sequence support on a compact press brake controller.

Compared with numerical controls, 2D graphical programming reduces the amount of geometry an operator must visualize mentally.

Automatic bend-sequence calculation can save setup time when a part has several bends and more than one possible production order.

Collision detection helps identify potential interference before the operator starts bending, especially on return flanges, channels, boxes, and parts using gooseneck tooling.

The graphical production mode helps guide the operator through the job, which can be useful when several operators share the same machine.

The DA-58T can therefore improve productivity not by increasing bending force or machine speed, but by making programming, sequence planning, and production guidance more efficient.

4. Hardware and Machine Integration

The DA-58T uses a 15-inch industrial touchscreen designed for regular factory use.

Keep the display clean and avoid abrasive contamination such as grinding dust or metal chips.

The control is integrated with the press brake's hydraulic or drive system, encoders, backgauge, crowning, safety circuits, servo drives, frequency inverters, and other machine functions.

Because the DA-58T is part of a larger control architecture, a fault shown on the screen may originate from another machine component rather than the controller itself.

Electrical cabinet filters and cooling fans should be maintained according to the press brake manufacturer's instructions because excessive heat can shorten electronic component life.

Internal electrical repair, drive tuning, valve synchronization, safety-circuit modification, and machine-level parameter changes should only be handled by qualified service personnel.

5. User Interface and Touch Navigation

The DA-58T uses Delem's touch-navigation interface to connect product programming and production.

Functions are placed close to the workflow where they are needed, allowing operators to move efficiently between product geometry, tooling, sequence calculation, corrections, and production.

Before cycle start, verify the active product, material, tools, current bend step, axis positions, and machine-ready state.

Read alarm and status messages before clearing them. If technical support may be required, record the exact message and the machine state.

Different press brake manufacturers can integrate machine-specific functions, so the exact screen appearance can vary between machines.

Train operators to understand what each value changes physically rather than only teaching where buttons are located.

6. Startup and Axis Referencing

Before startup, inspect the work area and remove loose tools, gauges, blanks, or other objects that could interfere with machine movement.

Follow the machine builder's approved startup procedure. A typical sequence includes switching on main power, allowing the controller to boot, releasing emergency stops when safe, enabling hydraulic or drive systems, checking safety devices, and referencing axes.

Referencing establishes a known physical position for each required axis. Do not bypass a required reference sequence.

Hydraulic machine temperature can affect the first bends of a shift. For precision work, a controlled warm-up and test piece can improve consistency.

Before running a saved product, verify the drawing revision, material, actual thickness, punch, die, and machine setup.

Perform a measured first piece before full batch production.

7. How to Program the Delem DA-58T

Start with the approved drawing. Confirm material grade, sheet thickness, bend angles, flange dimensions, inside radius requirements, and tolerances.

Create or select a product using a clear naming convention that makes the part and revision easy to identify.

Program the product graphically in 2D and verify every flange direction and bend relationship against the drawing.

Select the actual material and the punch and die that will be installed on the machine.

Run automatic bend-sequence calculation and review the proposed sequence.

Use the graphical machine and tool simulation to check feasibility and potential collisions.

Perform a controlled first bend and measure the angle before changing dimensions that depend on the angle.

Apply measured corrections, verify the part, then save the proven product program for future repeat production.

8. Automatic Bend-Sequence Calculation

Automatic bend-sequence calculation is one of the DA-58T's most useful functions.

A multi-bend part can often be bent in several orders, but some sequences can create collisions or make later bends impossible.

The controller uses product, machine, and tool data to calculate a sequence and prepare axis positions.

This reduces manual planning and can help new operators understand a product more quickly.

The calculated sequence should still be reviewed by a trained operator because part handling, surface protection, part weight, and shop workflow can influence the best sequence.

If the sequence is manually changed, repeat the simulation before production.

9. Collision Detection and Graphical Simulation

The DA-58T supports collision detection as part of its graphical programming workflow.

Collision checks are especially useful for return flanges, boxes, channels, gooseneck tooling, and parts that must be rotated between bends.

The production mode graphically simulates the bend process and helps guide the operator through the sequence.

Simulation depends on accurate machine and tool data. Incorrect punch, die, adapter, or machine geometry can make the simulation differ from reality.

Always verify the physical setup before bending. Collision detection supports process planning but does not replace operator awareness or machine safety systems.

Original YRS screenshots showing sequence simulation would make this section particularly valuable to readers.

10. Tool Library: Punches and Dies

The tool library stores tooling geometry used during programming, sequence calculation, and simulation.

Punch data can include height, angle, tip radius, shape, and segmentation. Accurate gooseneck profiles are important for flange-clearance calculations.

Die data should accurately represent the V-opening, height, angle, and profile.

The V-opening influences bending force, natural inside radius, minimum flange, and surface pressure.

Use tool names that correspond to physical labels on your tool rack so operators can quickly locate the correct tooling.

Inspect the physical tools before production. Worn or damaged tooling can create poor results even when the controller data is correct.

11. Material Library, Thickness and Springback

Material behavior is one of the main reasons that a calculated bend can differ from the measured result.

Mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and high-strength sheet can require different force and correction at the same nominal thickness.

Stainless steel typically has more springback and requires more bending force than mild steel.

Aluminum behavior varies significantly according to alloy and temper.

Springback is the elastic recovery that occurs when bending force is removed. It depends on material strength, thickness, radius, tooling, and bending method.

Measure actual thickness when tolerances are important and build material records around the grades your shop actually uses.

12. Axes and Backgauge Programming

The exact axis configuration depends on the press brake manufacturer.

Y1 and Y2 commonly control the synchronized sides of the ram. Auxiliary axes can control backgauge depth, vertical position, or other gauge functions depending on the machine.

The controller calculates axis positions as part of the program-to-production workflow.

If a flange dimension is consistently wrong, check the programmed gauge target, calibration, and finger alignment.

If the flange error varies randomly, investigate physical workpiece contact, handling, blank-edge quality, and mechanical play.

Always confirm the actual physical axes from the machine specification rather than assuming every DA-58T machine is configured the same way.

13. Crowning Control Explained

Press brakes and tooling deflect under load, especially during long bends.

Crowning compensates for this deflection to improve angle consistency across the length of the workpiece.

If both ends of a long bend are correct but the center is too open, crowning is a logical area to investigate.

If the entire bend is equally open or closed, a general angle correction may be more appropriate.

Measure several points along the bend before changing crowning.

Tool seating, bed cleanliness, machine alignment, material variation, and tool wear can also create angle differences.

14. Production Mode and Operator Guidance

The DA-58T production mode graphically simulates the bend process and guides the operator during press brake operation.

This is particularly useful for parts that must be flipped, rotated, or repositioned between bends.

Before cycle start, verify the correct product, revision, material, thickness, tooling, current bend step, and machine-ready condition.

Use a repeatable handling method so the workpiece contacts the same backgauge surfaces on every part.

Measure the first pieces and define an appropriate inspection frequency for longer production runs.

If corrections drift during a batch, investigate material, machine temperature, tooling, and setup before applying increasingly large corrections.

15. Manual Mode and Setup

Manual or jog functions are useful for setup, maintenance checks, and diagnostics.

Manual movements should be used only by trained personnel because individual machine axes can be moved outside the normal automatic sequence.

Before jogging an axis, identify what will move and verify the available physical clearance.

Do not use manual mode as a permanent workaround for a bad product program.

After manual movement, verify that the machine is still in a known condition before returning to automatic production.

Service-level functions should be protected from casual operator access.

16. USB Backup and Program Management

The DA-58T supports USB flash memory for exchangeable storage.

Programs, tools, and corrections represent valuable production knowledge and should be backed up regularly.

Use a reliable USB device reserved for machine data rather than a random personal drive.

Keep another backup copy outside the machine and USB device, ideally on a controlled company server.

Do not switch off power while data is being saved or transferred.

When restoring data, confirm that the backup belongs to the correct press brake and software configuration.

17. Networking, TandemLink and Protractor Interface

Delem lists standard Windows networking as an option for the DA-58T.

Networking can simplify program transfer between engineering or offline programming stations and the machine.

Companies should maintain revision control so old products are not accidentally returned to production.

TandemLink is listed as an option for suitable tandem press brake applications. Tandem machines require dedicated engineering and synchronization by the machine manufacturer.

Delem also lists protractor interfacing as an optional correction aid.

Ask the machine supplier which of these options are installed and enabled on the specific press brake.

18. Profile-58TL and Profile-T Offline Programming

Delem lists Profile-58TL as the offline software associated with the DA-58T.

The broader Profile-T family provides office-based programming and simulation in a user environment designed to resemble Delem DA-Touch controls.

Delem lists graphical product programming, bend-sequence generation, feasibility studies, automatic bend-sequence calculation, collision detection, networking, machine-setup preparation, production-time calculation, DXF import, and 3D CAD import in the appropriate Profile-T versions.

Offline programming can improve machine utilization because future jobs can be prepared while the press brake continues producing.

The offline machine and tool database must match the real machine for reliable simulation.

Use controlled revision management when products can be edited both offline and at the machine.

19. Preventive Maintenance

Keep the touchscreen clean and free from abrasive dust, oil, and metal particles.

Inspect the press brake daily for visible leaks, unusual noise, tool damage, backgauge issues, and safety-device problems.

Follow the machine manufacturer's maintenance requirements for hydraulic oil, filtration, lubrication, electrical cabinet filters, and cooling.

Back up production data on a defined schedule and after important programming changes.

Inspect tooling and clamping surfaces regularly because physical wear can change bending results.

Do not make random machine-parameter changes when troubleshooting. Drive, valve, safety, and calibration work should be performed by qualified personnel.

20. DA-58T Troubleshooting Guide

Troubleshooting should begin with a precise description of the symptom. Record the exact alarm text, active product, machine mode, axis state, and what happened immediately before the problem.

If the machine will not start, check emergency stops, safety functions, machine-ready status, active alarms, drive or hydraulic readiness, and axis referencing.

If the calculated bend sequence looks wrong, verify product geometry, tool data, machine setup, and any manual sequence changes.

If a collision warning appears, stop and review tooling, bend order, part orientation, and machine clearance.

If a flange dimension is consistently wrong, verify the gauge target and calibration. If the error varies randomly, investigate workpiece contact, handling, and mechanical play.

If a bend angle is wrong, verify actual thickness, material grade, tooling, springback, correction, and crowning.

Avoid random service-parameter changes. They can hide the real fault and make professional diagnosis more difficult.

21. DA-58T vs DA-58TX vs DA-53TX

The DA-53TX provides 2D graphical programming on a 15.6-inch-class wide-screen platform and is a strong compact graphical controller.

The DA-58T uses a 15-inch 1024 × 768 display and specifically emphasizes automatic bend-sequence calculation and collision detection.

The DA-58TX keeps the DA-58 workflow while moving to a larger 18.5-inch wide-screen display with 1366 × 768 resolution.

For users who value the sequence-calculation workflow but prefer the 15-inch form factor, the DA-58T remains a practical option.

The best controller choice should still consider the whole press brake, including axes, crowning, backgauge, tooling, machine frame, safety, and support.

Read our DA-53TX guide and DA-58TX guide for more detail.

22. Who Should Choose the DA-58T?

The DA-58T is a good choice for companies that want graphical programming and automatic bend-sequence support on a compact controller.

It is particularly suitable for job shops and general fabrication companies producing multi-bend parts, enclosures, brackets, channels, and panels.

Companies that do not need the larger 18.5-inch DA-58TX screen may find the DA-58T more than sufficient.

If a simpler numerical workflow is preferred, the DA-53T can be more economical.

If a high-end modular machine with advanced sensors and extensive machine integration is required, compare the DA-66S and DA-69S.

Choose the controller together with the full machine specification rather than by controller model alone.
