CHANGES to CNC BENDER
Conditional Carriage Cross Slide RETRACT - Only if Clamp is Home
If the clamp is closed, then carriage sliding AWAY from the dies is overridden.
The original command was inserted like this:
AllCrossSlidesAdvance = cto:6000
The new logic checks for both clamp and pressure die open before it will allow for the carriage to cross slide. If either of these dies is not fully retracted, the AllCrossSlideHome is skipped:
[IF] AND, input=Input_ClampIsHome_Begin, input=Input_PressureDieIsHome_Begin [DISPLAY] Next Step: (Center Carriage) Home All Cross Slides AllCrossSlidesHome = cto:6000 [DISPLAY] Completed: (Center Carriage) Home All Cross Slides [END]
This new logic allows for option combinations that were not possible before. For example, RECAPTURE and FEED AWAY FROM DIES can now be enabled together.
Changed a Range Error Message for Clarity
A range error message was changed by adding the RADIUS CHANGE information to help users find a solution this problem:
|
Immediate Message |
Production Cycle Time Value
The "Complete Cycle Time" is changed to "Production Cycle Time" and now provides the overall time from part to part.
Changed Terminology
The following terms are changed in CNC Bender user interface:
| ORIGINAL | NEW | |
| In Low Level Tangent to Collet Face |
In Low Level Machine Length |
|
| In Run Page Complete Cycle Time |
In Run Page Production Cycle Time |
CHANGES to CNC PROCESSOR
CNC Processor is the program that directly controls the bender actuators.
Disallow Jog Queuing When in Cycle Hold Mode
CNC Bender no longer allows an operator to jog any axis or actuator if the Cycle Hold button is pressed. This mode is slightly different than Safe Mode Cycle Hold, where the safety scanner area is entered. When the safety scanner or mat is activated, the machine changes to a near Zero Energy State state.
Cycle Hold without stepping on the mat or safety scanner acts as a pause button without changing the bender into safe mode.

Reduced CPU Usage When Idle
CNC Processor required expanded CPU usage when the bender was powered down or in manual mode. This had an effect of slowing the CNC Bender user interface.
Starting with this version, CNC Processor automatically reduces the load on the CPU when in either of these modes.
How to UPGRADE
If your operator station contains one of the versions listed below, then they can be upgraded through simple self-installation:
- CNC Bender v10-20070928
- CNC Bender v10-20070920
- CNC Bender v10-20070726b
- CNC Bender v10-20070803
- CNC Bender v10-20070828
- CNC Bender v10-20070914
See our CNC Bender Upgrade Policy page for details regarding the charges for the upgrade software.
