=[[image:Check.jpg|25px]] NEW - Pressure Die Assist RVG = Real-Time Variable Gearing  =
[[image:Cncbender_pda_rvg_icon_large.jpg]]<br><br>
<font size=5>Welcome to RVG POWER!</font>  Take advantage of the power of a motion-controlled Pressure Die Assist cylinder by using our '''Real-time Variable Gearing''', or '''RVG''' feature.  It is a feature that allows you to setup the Pressure Die Assist motion to adjust its motion relative to the bend axis in real time.

*Up to 20 "adjust points" can be set per RVG profile.
*Each bend can have a unique profile.  
*All RVG Profiles are available for all parts on the bender in a convenient list.

<br><br>

=[[image:Check.jpg|25px]] NEW - PDA-RVG Profile Editor  =


[[image:Cncbender_pda_rvg_profile_editor.jpg|600px]]

The new RVG Profile editor allows you to edit an unlimited number of profiles.  Each profile controls the gearing between the bend arm and the pressure assist.

=[[image:Check.jpg|25px]] NEW - PDA-RVG Profile Editor  =

[[image:Cncbender_pda_rvg_adjustpoint_editor.jpg|400px]]

The new RVG Profile ADJUST POINT editor allows you to edit a single value in an RVG Profile row.  Adjust points are angles where the gearing "adjusts" to a new value.

=[[image:Check.jpg|25px]] NEW - EXPANDABLE SERVO MANUAL PAGE  =

The SERVO Manual Control page has been completely redesigned to allow for ANY NUMBER OF AXES.  The page can grow or shrink automatically depending on the bender setup.
<br><br>
Initial tests from our technicians indicate that this page is a significant improvement in ease of use over the previous page.
<br><br>

<br>
The page also has new features: Every axis can be sent to either 1 pre-programmed relative location, or 2 pre-programmed absolute locations.

<br><br>

=[[image:Check.jpg|25px]] NEW - TOOLBOX PAGE FOR STORING OPTIONS WHEN NOT BEING USED =
<br>
CNC Bender now allows operators to put their options away - just like tools in a tool box.<br><br>
The feature is called "Toolbox" and is available for every Dynamic Options List in CNC Bender.
<br><br>
[[image:Cncbender_options_toolbox_v11-20080915.jpg|600px]]
<br><br>
The action of putting an option away is a simple moving the option from one list to another using move buttons.  When you need them again, they will still be in the box - already set with the value that you used last when transferring them to the toolbox.
<br><br>

=[[image:Check.jpg|25px]] NEW - REDESIGNED MANUAL TEST BEND PAGE =

The page has bigger buttons and a new Real-time Variable Gearing Profile selection.  That means you can use Real-time Variable Gearing in the Test Bend page!  You can even edit the Profile before running a test bend.<br><br>

===[[image:Check.jpg|25px]] Other Internal Changes ===

*Now control the home offset of any axis on a user-configurable process lists with the "Home Offset" parameter called "HOF".  It is no longer necessary to use low-level software to adjust the offset.

*New Axis Speed grid that can expand to any number of axes in the low level menu.<br>
