How to Choose a Delem Controller for Your Press Brake

How to Choose a Delem Controller for Your Press Brake

Choose a Delem controller by programming depth and production variability—not by screen size alone. Choose DA-53T or DA-53Tx for standard numerical programming, DA-58T or DA-58Tx when you need 2D graphical programming and bend-sequence calculation, DA-66T or DA-66S for complex setups that benefit from 3D machine visualisation and sensor-bending interfaces, and DA-69T or DA-69S when direct full 3D programming is needed for high-mix work. Use the decision matrix below to match the controller level to your press brake workflow.

Which Delem Controller Fits Your Press Brake?

Start with the work your operators must complete: numerical programming, 2D graphical programming, advanced setup support, or direct full 3D programming. Screen size is a secondary choice within each controller level.

Your Production Requirement Recommended Model Why It Fits
Simple, repetitive bending with a non-touch control and the lowest initial budget DA-52S Suitable for basic bending work where graphical programming, touchscreen operation, offline software, and network connectivity are not required.
Entry-level touch operation for standard hydraulic press brake work DA-53T A practical touchscreen option for general fabrication and standard multi-axis bending without the added cost of 2D graphical programming.
Entry-level production requiring a larger screen and a smoother touch workflow DA-53Tx Best for shops that want the DA-53T workflow with a larger display and improved operator interface.
Mid-volume production requiring 2D graphical programming, bend-sequence calculation, and collision detection DA-58T / DA-58Tx The right step up for operators who need 2D programming and more efficient setup. Choose DA-58Tx when a larger screen is preferred.
Complex parts requiring multi-axis backgauge control, angle measurement or correction, and 3D visualisation DA-66T / DA-66S Designed for advanced production using 2D graphical programming, 3D machine visualisation, sensor-bending integration, and 8+1-axis control.
High-mix production, frequent part changes, complex tooling, and direct full 3D programming DA-69T / DA-69S The most advanced option for full 3D programming, complex bend sequences, multi-tool stations, and flexible production workflows.

Note: Controller features and supported axis configurations may vary by machine builder, installed options, PLC configuration, and software version. Confirm the final specification before ordering.

DA-66T vs DA-69T: Which Upgrade Level Do You Need?

The main decision between DA-66T/DA-66S and DA-69T/DA-69S is not screen size. It is whether your workflow needs direct full 3D programming or mainly needs advanced 2D programming with 3D machine visualisation.

Decision Factor DA-66T or DA-66S DA-69T or DA-69S
Primary programming workflow 2D graphical programming with 3D machine visualisation Direct 2D and full 3D graphical programming
Choose this level when You need stronger setup support, complex-part visibility, multi-axis work or sensor-bending interfaces You frequently change jobs, process complex parts or need direct full 3D programming
Do not upgrade only because You want a larger screen or occasionally make complex parts You assume every production job needs full 3D programming
Before ordering Confirm the machine builder’s PLC, installed options, software version and axis configuration Confirm the machine builder’s PLC, installed options, software version and axis configuration

Bottom line: Choose DA-66T or DA-66S when advanced 2D programming and machine visualisation fit the workflow. Choose DA-69T or DA-69S only when direct full 3D programming can reduce setup risk or changeover time for your actual part mix.

When to Step Up from DA-53 to DA-58, DA-66 and DA-69

1.Move from DA-53 to DA-58 when 2D programming becomes necessary

DA-53T and DA-53Tx suit standard numerical programming. Move to DA-58T or DA-58Tx when operators need 2D graphical programming, bend-sequence calculation and collision detection to prepare more complex parts efficiently.

2.Move from DA-58 to DA-66 when setup support becomes the bottleneck

DA-66T and DA-66S add 3D machine visualisation, multi-station setup support and sensor-bending interfaces. This is the right step when part complexity, multi-axis work or angle-consistency requirements exceed a standard 2D workflow.

3.Move from DA-66 to DA-69 only when direct full 3D programming adds value

DA-69T and DA-69S add direct full 3D graphical programming. Choose this level for high-mix production, frequent part changes and complex tooling workflows where direct 3D programming can improve setup decisions.

DA-52S: The Entry-Level Baseline

The DA-52S is DELEM's foundational model for hydraulic press brake control. It features a 6.4″ non-touch display and supports up to 4-axis control. While it lacks touchscreen capability, offline programming, and network connectivity, it remains a reliable option for basic bending operations with minimal complexity.

Best for: shops with simple, repetitive parts and tight budgets who do not require graphical programming or remote connectivity.

DA-58T vs DA-58Tx: The Step Up to 2D Graphical Programming

DA-58T and DA-58Tx are the practical upgrade from numerical programming to 2D graphical programming. They are suited to production teams that need bend-sequence calculation, collision detection and a more efficient setup process for multi-step parts.

Choose DA-58T when a 15-inch 2D graphical workflow meets the operator’s needs. Choose DA-58Tx when the same controller level is preferred with a larger display. Do not select the DA-58 level only for screen size; select it when 2D graphical programming changes the way your team prepares and checks bends.

If complex setups require 3D machine visualisation or sensor-bending interfaces, evaluate the DA-66 level.

DA-66T vs DA-66S: Advanced Setup Support for Complex Parts

The Delem DA-66T and DA-66S are for press brake operations that need 2D graphical programming together with 3D machine visualisation, advanced setup support and sensor-bending interfaces. They are typically selected when a standard 2D workflow no longer provides enough visibility or control for complex parts, multi-axis configurations or angle-consistency requirements.

Choose DA-66T when a 17-inch interface fits the machine and operator workflow. Choose DA-66S when the larger 24-inch interface is preferred for the same controller level. The key buying decision is the advanced workflow—not the display size alone.

Confirm the final functionality with the machine builder because PLC configuration, installed options, software version and axis layout affect the delivered machine.

DA-69T vs DA-69S: Direct Full 3D Programming for High-Mix Work

The Delem DA-69T and DA-69S are the top level in this comparison because they support direct 2D and full 3D graphical programming. They are most relevant to high-mix production, complex bend sequences, frequent part changes and demanding multi-tool workflows.

Choose DA-69T when a 17-inch interface suits the required workflow. Choose DA-69S when the same full 3D controller level is needed with a larger 24-inch interface. Do not select DA-69 only because it is the highest model; select it when direct full 3D programming delivers a practical setup or changeover advantage.

Confirm the delivered configuration, software and machine integration with the machine builder before ordering.

Selection Checklist: Four Questions Before You Choose

1. Does the work require numerical, 2D or direct full 3D programming?

Choose DA-53T/DA-53Tx for standard numerical programming. Choose DA-58T/DA-58Tx for 2D graphical programming. Choose DA-69T/DA-69S only when direct full 3D programming is required.

2. Is advanced machine visualisation or sensor-bending support required?

Consider DA-66T/DA-66S when complex parts, multi-axis setups or angle-consistency requirements call for 3D machine visualisation and sensor-bending interfaces.

3. What is the actual part mix and changeover frequency?

Standard, repetitive work usually does not require the highest controller level. High-mix work with frequent program changes and complex tooling may justify an advanced controller.

4. Which machine-specific options must be confirmed before ordering?

Confirm the required axis configuration, PLC and drive compatibility, software version, offline programming needs, networking requirements and installed options with the machine builder. Controller capability alone does not define the final machine configuration.
