The INCOMING MESSAGES menu now allows you to show an extended history log:

The new MACHINE LUBE tab has new controls and features: Cncbender cncprocessor machinelube.jpg

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.




Check.jpg 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

Range Error - According to the RADIUS CHANGE Interference Zone value in the TOOL page the Cross Slide Would Have Collided With The Pressure Die. If this is not the case, then adjust the RADIUS CHANGE Interference Zone value.


Check.jpg Production Cycle Time Value

The "Complete Cycle Time" is changed to "Production Cycle Time" and now provides the overall time from part to part.




Check.jpg New General Dynamic Option - PD Set Pressure

If this option is enabled, then the PD Set Pressure Output Points are enabled using the new SetPDPressureOutputPoints command.
