Delem DM-103VA – Multi-Axis Press Brake CNC Controller | DM Series Platform
Engineering Background: The Delem DM-103VA (part number 8576-001) is a dedicated CNC control unit engineered for hydraulic and electro-hydraulic press brake machines. Delem, headquartered in the Netherlands, has been the global benchmark for press brake and laser cutting CNC systems since 1968. The DM Series represents Delem’s mid-range control platform, balancing advanced multi-axis synchronization with a robust, field-proven hardware architecture trusted by OEMs and sheet metal fabricators worldwide.
Product Positioning: The DM-103VA targets production environments requiring precise Y1/Y2 axis synchronization, programmable back-gauge control, and reliable angle accuracy across high-volume bending cycles. It is the preferred retrofit and OEM-fit controller for press brakes in the 40–400 ton range, replacing legacy analog control boards with a fully digital, programmable CNC platform.

- Compact Panel-Mount Form Factor: Designed for direct integration into existing press brake control cabinets with minimal mechanical modification
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The DM-103VA operates as the central CNC brain of the press brake control loop. The operator inputs bend parameters (material, thickness, angle, back-gauge position) via the front-panel interface. The controller calculates the required Y1/Y2 ram stroke and X-axis back-gauge travel, then outputs synchronized analog or digital command signals to the hydraulic proportional valve amplifiers and servo drives. Real-time encoder feedback from the ram and back-gauge closes the position loop, enabling the controller to correct for hydraulic lag, material springback compensation, and thermal drift. The RS-232/RS-422 port allows DNC program upload/download and integration with factory MES/SCADA systems.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the DM-103VA compatible with my Amada / LVD / Durma press brake?
A: The DM-103VA is compatible with most hydraulic press brakes that use Delem DM-series controllers. Compatibility depends on the hydraulic valve interface and encoder type. Contact us with your machine model for a definitive confirmation.
Q: What is the difference between DM-103VA and DA-series controllers?
A: The DM Series is Delem’s dedicated press brake control platform with integrated Y1/Y2 synchronization. The DA Series (e.g., DA-66T, DA-69T) adds touchscreen HMI and advanced 3D graphical programming. The DM-103VA is the preferred choice for retrofit applications where cost-efficiency and proven reliability are priorities.
Q: Can I transfer existing bend programs from my old controller?
A: Yes. Bend programs can be transferred via RS-232 using Delem’s DNC utility or compatible third-party software. Our team can assist with program migration on request.
Q: What firmware version does this unit ship with?
A: Firmware version is confirmed and documented at dispatch. We can supply specific firmware versions on request to match your existing machine configuration.
Q: Do you provide a wiring diagram for installation?
A: Yes. Delem DM-103VA wiring schematics and I/O connection guides are provided with every order. Custom integration support is available for complex retrofit projects.
