Check.jpg ENHANCED - Replaced/Removed Overall Option FEED AWAY FROM DIES

The Feed Away from Dies option is no longer available in OVERALL because it makes more sense to have it in the RADIUS options under the new name "Radius Shift Away." This option allows for the radius to shift away in any bend ROW.

Check.jpg ENHANCED - Changed Names of Options in Prebend

The Carriage shift options in the PREBEND lists have been renamed because the options apply to both horizontal head shift and carriage shift.

Check.jpg ENHANCED - RADIUS SHIFTING OFF - NO Radius Motion



When Radius Shifting is OFF in the TOOL page, then CNC Bender will no longer, under any circumstance shift the horizontal or carriage axis. We believe that this will be useful because when shifting is OFF, the motion should be completely manually controlled and only manually controlled.

Check.jpg ENHANCED - SQUARE TUBE & ABSOLUTE ROTATION Feature - AUTOMATIC RADIUS SHIFT AWAY

The Absolute Rotation features in PREBEND will always bring the rotation axis back to an absolute position when moving to the LOAD position. Then, after the tube is chucked, the rotation spindle will rotate the tube to an offset position.

If the tube is square, then CNC Bender will automatically perform a Radius Shift Away motion to keep the square tube from catching in the die - even if the Start - Radius Shift Away option is set to OFF.

Check.jpg REPAIR - START Rotation ENABLES in PREBEND only if AVAILABLE (LITECONTROL)

For LiteControl, the START ROTATION value in the PREBENDING page now only enables if the option is active in LiteControl.

Check.jpg ENHANCE - SINGLE INSTANCE CONTROL is Now Completely AUTOMATIC

CNC Bender only allows for one instance in memory at a time. However, it used to display a message in a dialogue box if multiple instances were attempted.

We found this message to be annoying and unnecessary - so it is completely removed. Now the first instance of the program is quietly given focus if an operator accidentally loads the software twice.
