Check.jpg Radius Level Shift Command Names Simplified

  • The command names for the radius level shifting were often confusing when moving from HEAD shifters to CARRIAGE shifters. For example, on a head shift machine, AllUp meant radius 1. On carriage shift machine, AllUp meant the top radius (2 or 3).


  • This ambiguity is cleared up by naming the directional valve positions by RADIUS LEVEL number, rather than "UP" or "DOWN".


  • These are the new DEFAULT command names to use:
    • Shift to Radius Level 1
    • Shift to Radius Level 2
    • Shift to Radius Level 3
    • Shift to Radius Level 4
    • Shift to Radius Level 2 From 1
    • Shift to Radius Level 2 From 3
    • Shift to Radius Level 3 From 2
    • Shift to Radius Level 3 From 4

Check.jpg Radius Level Shift Command Names Can Be Changed

  • The radius level COMDEF names can be configured to custom names in the Low Level COMDEF Names Cross Reference menu.

Check.jpg Changed the Name of "Low Level Options List" to "Setup Options List"

  • The Options List tab has been renamed.


Check.jpg FIX: Recapture Feed Into PD Collision Message

Previous versions of CNC Bender would show a FEED into PD collision error in recapture mode when the PDA is motion controlled even if the Pressure Die was already home. The problem would occur when the PDA arrived home before the PD arrives home, signalling CNC Processor to move to the next step too early.

In motion-controlled COMDEFs, the arrival of a servo axis to position overrides any waiting for proximity switches to go active. So the PD would still be moving back when the Feed axis was told to start moving.

The fix was to separate the PD return from the PDA return COMDEFs, and make the PD return occur first. This ensures that the PD moves all the way home before the PDA motion moves home.
