CNC Bender v11-20081211

CHANGES to CNC BENDER

NEW - Stair-Stepping Radius Level Shifting

You will find this new option in the Radius dynamic option list in the FRB page.



Stair-step through the radius levels in order to avoid tooling.

PDA Safety Feature

PDA motion-controlled jogs will no longer be allowed if the bend arm is not at or beyond 90 degrees. This restriction is to protect accidental collision of the dies. There is still no restriction on the direct axes jogs.

REPAIR - Clear FRB Unit Issue

When clearing the FRB data, the units could get mixed up because of reading the default file in the opposite unit. This would would mix up linear units by a factor of 25.4.

This version resolves this problem.

Removed COMDEF: WatchPartInColletSwitch

This command is no longer needed in CNC Bender. It is replaced with secondary process list "button_chuckclose.cncprocesslist"

Changed Input Names in CNC Processor

The two inputs in the CNCProcessor.cfg file:

• Input_PressureDieIsClosed_Begin
• Input_ClampIsClosed_Begin

have been changed to

• Input_PressureDieIsClosed_End
• Input_ClampIsClosed_End

This is in effort to remove all BEGIN type inputs from the standard configuration.

Repaired the Axis Velocity Maximum Value Notification in Low Level

The maximum axis velocity is controlled in the Axis List configuration file. The value now properly reports in a warning dialog when an operator attempts to set a velocity value too high.
