1. What Is the Delem DA-58TX?

The Delem DA-58TX is a 2D graphical CNC control for synchronized press brakes in the DA-50Touch family. It is designed to provide a modern, compact, and versatile control platform for economical yet capable press brake applications.

Compared with simpler numerical controls, the DA-58TX gives the operator a much more visual way to create and verify bending programs. The part, machine, and tools can be represented graphically, and the controller can calculate a bend sequence and simulate the process before the first production bend.

Delem describes the DA-58TX as standard capable of controlling up to four axes. The actual physical axes installed depend on the press brake manufacturer and machine specification.

The controller is housed in a pendant-arm cabinet and uses an 18.5-inch wide-screen high-resolution color TFT with industrial multi-touch technology. This larger display provides space for graphical programming, tool information, machine representation, and production guidance.

The DA-58TX is particularly useful for job shops and manufacturers that frequently switch between parts with multiple bends. Automatic sequencing and collision awareness can reduce programming time and help operators understand complex jobs more quickly.

Like every CNC control, the DA-58TX is one part of a complete bending system. Final accuracy and safety still depend on machine condition, tooling, material data, calibration, backgauge performance, crowning, and operator technique.

2. Main Features and Technical Specifications

Delem's current DA-58TX technical data lists an 18.5-inch high-brightness color TFT with 1366 × 768 resolution, 32-bit color, industrial PCT full-touch control, LED backlighting, 1 GB storage capacity, and 256 MB product and tool memory.

USB flash memory is used for exchangeable storage. Delem lists Profile-58TL as the associated offline software version.

The DA-58TX standard feature set includes 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.

Windows networking is listed as an option. The actual network setup and permissions depend on the press brake manufacturer and the customer's IT environment.

Controller capability should always be distinguished from machine hardware. A controller that can manage four axes does not automatically mean the press brake has four physical axes.

3. Why Choose the DA-58TX?

The DA-58TX is attractive because it combines a compact controller platform with several features that directly reduce setup effort on multi-bend parts.

The 18.5-inch display provides substantially more visual space than the DA-53T and DA-53TX. This makes graphical programming, tool selection, machine simulation, and production guidance easier to read.

Automatic bend-sequence calculation is one of the most important advantages. Rather than relying entirely on the operator to determine a bend order, the controller can calculate a sequence and simulate it using the programmed machine and tooling.

Collision detection helps identify potential interference during programming and simulation. This is particularly useful for parts with return flanges, deep boxes, gooseneck tooling, or other geometries where a bend sequence can become difficult to visualize mentally.

The production mode graphically simulates the bending process and guides the operator during press brake operation. This can improve consistency when several different operators run the same product.

The DA-58TX is therefore a good fit for companies that want more automation in programming without moving to Delem's high-end 3D controller family.

4. Hardware and Machine Integration

The DA-58TX uses a pendant-arm cabinet that places the large screen close to the operator while allowing it to be positioned for comfortable viewing.

The industrial touchscreen is designed for factory use, but it should still be treated carefully. Keep grinding dust, metal particles, oil, and aggressive chemicals away from the display.

The control communicates with hydraulic valves, servo drives, encoders, backgauge motors, crowning systems, safety circuits, and auxiliary machine functions. It should be understood as part of the machine's overall control architecture.

Because of this integration, a fault displayed by the DA-58TX can originate in a drive, encoder, limit switch, hydraulic component, safety circuit, wiring, mechanical obstruction, or configuration issue rather than in the touchscreen itself.

Electrical cabinet cooling should be maintained according to the machine manufacturer's requirements. Heat can shorten the service life of electronic components.

Controller repair, electrical modification, servo tuning, hydraulic synchronization, and service-parameter changes should only be performed by qualified personnel.

5. User Interface and Touch Navigation

The DA-58TX uses Delem's touch-navigation interface to connect programming and production. Functions are positioned close to the workflow instead of being hidden behind complicated menu structures.

Operators should learn to identify the active product, current machine mode, current bend step, selected tools, axis targets, and machine status before starting production.

The large screen makes it easier to display the product, tool setup, and machine representation at useful scale.

Warnings and alarms should be read before they are cleared. Record the exact message when a problem may require technical support.

Different press brake manufacturers can integrate additional functions into the machine, so screen appearance can vary between machines even when both use a DA-58TX.

Train operators to understand what a value means before changing it. A graphical interface makes the machine easier to use, but it does not remove the need for knowledge of tooling, materials, bend sequence, gauging, and safety.

6. Safe Startup and Axis Referencing

Before startup, inspect the working area and remove tools, measuring devices, loose blanks, and other objects that could interfere with the machine.

The exact startup procedure is defined by the press brake manufacturer. A typical process can include switching on main power, allowing the CNC 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 an axis. If the machine requests referencing, complete the approved procedure before production.

Hydraulic machines can behave differently when cold. On precision work, a controlled warm-up and measured first piece can improve repeatability.

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

Do not rely on graphical simulation as the only setup check. Physically verify tooling and clearances before production.

7. How to Program the Delem DA-58TX

Programming should begin with the correct product drawing. Verify the part revision, material grade, sheet thickness, bend angles, flange dimensions, inside radius requirements, and tolerance.

Create or select a product using a consistent naming convention. Clear product names help prevent the wrong revision from being used during repeat production.

Select the correct material and thickness. Actual sheet thickness and strength can differ from nominal values, especially between material batches.

Select the actual punch and die that will be installed. Accurate tool geometry is essential for reliable graphical simulation and collision awareness.

Create or import the product geometry according to the available workflow. Verify every flange direction and bend relationship against the drawing.

Allow the controller to calculate a bend sequence, then review the result. Automatic calculation is an excellent aid, but the operator should still understand the proposed sequence.

Simulate the bending process using the machine and tools. Review potential collisions, part rotation, tool clearance, backgauge contact, and operator handling.

Perform a measured first bend before full production. Apply controlled corrections based on actual material behavior and save the proven program.

8. Automatic Bend-Sequence Calculation

Automatic bend-sequence calculation is one of the DA-58TX's most valuable features.

A multi-bend part can often be produced in several possible sequences, but not every sequence is practical. An early flange may block access to a later bend, or the workpiece may collide with the punch, die, machine frame, or backgauge.

The DA-58TX can calculate a bend sequence using the programmed part, machine, and tooling. This reduces the amount of sequence planning that must be done manually.

The calculated result should still be reviewed by an experienced operator. Real-world handling, part weight, surface protection, support requirements, and shop-specific preferences may affect the best production sequence.

For simple parts, automatic sequencing can save programming time. For complex boxes, returns, and narrow channels, it can also reveal sequence problems that are easy to overlook.

When a calculated sequence is changed manually, re-run the graphical simulation and verify every bend step before production.

9. Collision Detection and Graphical Simulation

Collision detection uses the programmed geometry of the part, tools, and machine to identify potential interference during the bending process.

This is especially valuable for deep parts, return flanges, gooseneck tooling, narrow openings, and complex multi-bend components.

The controller's production mode can graphically simulate the bending process and guide the operator during each step.

Collision detection is only as accurate as the data used. If a punch profile, die, machine dimension, or part geometry is incorrect in the control, the graphical result may not match reality.

Always verify the physical setup before cycle start. Graphical collision detection is an additional layer of protection and process verification, not a replacement for operator awareness or machine safety systems.

Original screenshots of collision simulation and bend sequence on your YRS press brake would be excellent additions to this article because they help customers understand how the DA-58TX workflow looks in practice.

10. Tool Library: Punches, Dies, and Tool Geometry

The tool library is critical on a graphical controller because the software uses tool geometry during programming and simulation.

For punches, important values can include height, angle, tip radius, profile, and segmentation. Gooseneck punches require accurate geometry because their shape determines clearance around previously formed flanges.

For dies, the V-opening strongly affects bending force, natural inside radius, minimum flange, and contact with the workpiece.

A smaller V-opening normally increases required force and can create a tighter natural radius. A larger V-opening reduces force but usually produces a larger radius and requires a longer minimum flange.

Use tool names that match the labels on the physical tooling rack. The on-screen library should help the operator find the correct tool quickly.

Inspect actual tooling before every important setup. Worn punch tips, damaged die shoulders, dirty clamping surfaces, and incorrect segmentation can affect both accuracy and surface quality.

11. Material Library, Thickness, and Springback

Material behavior is one of the main reasons that calculated and actual bend results differ.

Mild steel is commonly used as a baseline material, but yield strength and actual thickness vary by grade and supplier.

Stainless steel generally requires more force and shows more springback than comparable mild steel. Cosmetic stainless parts may also require tooling and handling methods that reduce surface marking.

Aluminum varies significantly by alloy and temper. Some grades can be bent with a tight radius, while others require a larger radius to avoid cracking.

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

Measure the actual sheet thickness when tolerances are important. A well-maintained material library becomes more valuable as the shop records stable, repeatable production behavior.

12. Y1, Y2, X, R, and Auxiliary Axes

Y1 and Y2 normally represent the two synchronized sides of the press brake ram. Their positions are controlled so the ram follows the intended bending movement.

The X-axis normally controls backgauge depth and strongly influences flange length.

The R-axis, where installed, moves the backgauge fingers vertically. It helps maintain good contact on stepped or complex parts.

The DA-58TX is standard capable of controlling up to four axes. The press brake manufacturer determines which auxiliary axes are actually installed.

If a flange dimension is consistently wrong, verify the programmed X position, backgauge calibration, and finger alignment. If the error changes randomly, investigate part handling, mechanical play, and blank-edge quality.

Do not assume every DA-58TX machine has the same backgauge. Always confirm the physical axis configuration from the machine specification.

13. Crowning Control Explained

Long press brake bends can show angle variation because the machine frame, ram, bed, and tooling deflect slightly under load.

Crowning compensates for this deflection along the working length so the angle is more uniform.

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 part is equally too open or too closed, a general angle correction may be more appropriate than changing crowning.

Measure the bend at several points along the length before making a crowning adjustment.

Tool seating, bed cleanliness, machine alignment, tooling wear, and material variation can also create angle differences along a long workpiece.

14. Production Mode and Operator Guidance

The DA-58TX production mode graphically simulates the bend process and helps guide the operator through the job.

This is particularly useful when a part must be flipped, rotated, or repositioned between bends.

Before cycle start, confirm the active product, drawing revision, material, thickness, tooling, bend step, and machine-ready status.

Use the graphical display as a production aid, but always verify the actual part orientation before each bend.

For repeat work, consistent product handling is important. Operators should use the same gauging edges and loading method every time.

Measure the first pieces and establish an appropriate in-process inspection frequency for longer batches.

15. Manual Mode and Setup

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

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

Before jogging an axis, identify which component will move and what clearance exists.

Do not use manual mode as a permanent workaround for a programming error. If the same manual adjustment is required on every part, review the program and setup.

After manual movement, confirm that the machine remains in a known condition before returning to automatic production.

Service-level functions should be protected from casual access.

16. USB Backup and Program Management

Product programs, tool libraries, and corrections represent accumulated production knowledge. They should be protected with regular backups.

The DA-58TX supports USB flash memory. Use a reliable drive reserved for machine data.

Back up important data regularly and after major programming or configuration changes.

Keep an additional copy outside the press brake and USB device, ideally on a controlled company server.

Do not remove power while data is being saved or transferred.

When restoring data, make sure it belongs to the correct machine and machine configuration.

17. Profile-T Offline Programming

Delem lists Profile-58TL as the associated offline software for the DA-58TX and supports the broader Profile-T workflow.

Profile-T can be used to prepare and simulate bending jobs away from the press brake. Delem lists graphical product programming, bend-sequence generation, feasibility studies, production preparation, automatic bend-sequence calculation, collision detection, networking, and CAD import capabilities depending on the Profile-T version.

Offline programming can reduce machine idle time because a new job can be prepared while the press brake is still producing another product.

The machine and tool database in the offline environment must match the real press brake. Incorrect data can create a program that looks correct on screen but does not match the physical machine.

Use revision control so operators know which version is approved for production.

For job shops with frequent programming changes, offline preparation can be one of the most valuable productivity upgrades.

18. Preventive Maintenance

Keep the touchscreen clean and free from abrasive contamination. Use suitable cleaning materials and avoid harsh solvents unless approved.

Inspect the machine daily for visible leaks, unusual noise, tool damage, and safety-device problems.

Check backgauge motion, guide surfaces, and tooling clamping regularly.

Follow the machine manufacturer's hydraulic oil, filtration, lubrication, and cooling requirements.

Electrical cabinet filters and cooling fans should be maintained at the specified interval. Excessive heat can shorten electronic component life.

Include program and parameter backup in the preventive-maintenance plan.

Controller repair, servo tuning, safety-circuit work, hydraulic synchronization, and machine-parameter changes should be performed only by qualified personnel.

19. DA-58TX Troubleshooting Guide

Troubleshooting should start with a precise symptom. Record the exact alarm, active product, machine mode, axis positions, and what occurred immediately before the problem.

If the machine will not start a cycle, check emergency stops, safety devices, machine-ready status, active alarms, hydraulic or drive state, and axis referencing.

If an automatic bend sequence looks impractical, verify the product geometry, tool data, machine representation, and any manual changes made to the sequence.

If the controller shows a collision warning, do not simply ignore it. Review the bend step, tool geometry, machine clearance, part orientation, and sequence.

If a flange is consistently too long or too short, check X-axis values, backgauge calibration, finger alignment, and physical part contact.

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

Random service-parameter changes should be avoided. Safety, synchronization, drive, encoder, hydraulic, and machine-parameter problems should be escalated to qualified technical support.

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

The DA-53T is the compact numerical touchscreen model. It is a practical option when straightforward programming and budget are the main priorities.

The DA-53TX adds a larger screen and 2D graphical programming, making the workflow more visual.

The DA-58TX moves to an 18.5-inch display and adds automatic bend-sequence calculation and collision detection as key parts of the workflow.

The DA-58T also offers 2D graphical programming, automatic bend-sequence calculation, and collision detection, but uses a 15-inch display rather than the extra-large 18.5-inch DA-58TX screen.

The best choice depends on part complexity, operator experience, desired display size, machine configuration, and budget.

21. Who Should Choose the DA-58TX?

The DA-58TX is a strong choice for manufacturers that want a large graphical screen and automatic assistance with multi-bend programming.

It is especially suitable for job shops that frequently produce different parts and cannot afford long setup times between jobs.

Companies producing boxes, cabinets, panels, brackets, and other parts with several bends can benefit from automatic sequencing and graphical collision awareness.

It can also be useful where several operators share the same press brake because the graphical production guidance makes the approved sequence easier to follow.

If most work is simple and numerical programming is sufficient, the DA-53T may be more economical. If graphical programming is desired but automatic sequencing and the larger display are not essential, the DA-53TX may be enough.

Always compare the controller together with the full press brake specification, including frame, backgauge, crowning, tooling, hydraulics, encoders, safety system, and after-sales support.
