CHANGES to CNC BENDER

Check.jpg NEW - Stair-Stepping Radius Level Shifting

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

CNC Stair Step Radius Level Change.jpg

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

Check.jpg NEW - 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.

Check.jpg NEW - Added new [setvar_float] Command

This command allows CNC Processlist Builder to assign constants to floating point variables or other variables to variables in the processlist like this:

[setvar_float] HorizontalHeadShiftUse = HorizontalHeadShift2


or

[setvar_float] HorizontalHeadShiftUse = 25.4

Check.jpg NEW - Inline var() Parameter for Commands

This feature allows a variable to be placed in parameter of a COMDEF like this:

MoveHeadHorizToAbs = pos0:var(HorizontalHeadShiftUse), vel0:300.00000000, ump0:1, cto:60000

Check.jpg 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.

Check.jpg Removed COMDEF: WatchPartInColletSwitch

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


Check.jpg 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.


Check.jpg 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.


Check.jpg REMOVED - The Opposing Bit

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.


Check.jpg Update CIO Editor

Cio editor.jpg
The CIO Editor was significantly updated for better appearance and usability:

  • The CIO list on the left is more useful because it shows the REGISTER, then the POINT number - and sorts using that order of information.
  • The toolbar is cleaned up to show only two buttons.
  • The CIO edit page is now more organized.
