In the CNCProcessor.cfg File

The CNCProcessor.cfg contains the property values that allow you adjust the Machine Lube setup in CNC Bender. For more about the config file, see CNCProcessor.cfg.


Configuration Section: "Machine Lube"

The settings in this file are separated by sections with section names in square brackets. This is an example:

[Machine Lube]
Machine Lube Duration=5000
Lube Machine At Bend Count=100
Pulse Machine Lube Pump=1
Watch For Machine Lube Complete Input=0

The four values control the machine lube features in CNC Bender. Read about each of them here:

Feature Read
Lube for how long? Machine Lube Duration
How many bends to the next lube? Lube Machine At Bend Count
Pulse the output? Pulse Machine Lube Pump
Keep going until the lube is complete? Watch For Machine Lube Complete Input




Testing the Settings

See Auto Lube for testing the setup in CNC Bender.
