Check.jpg NEW - CNC Processor Can Send Part Number to Robots in Auto Mode

  • CNC Processor can load and run an external program at the moment it changes part numbers in Auto mode.

  • A new option is in CNC Bender Low Level options list that is called "External File To Run When Part Changes In Processor".

  • To use this feature, enter the name of the external executable file and CNC Processor will run the program any time a new part number is run in Auto mode. (See the next item for the first program to be called by this feature.)

Check.jpg NEW - Communication of 6 Digit Integer Part Number with GE-Fanuc Robot

Ge-fanuc communications.jpg

  • A new communications program can be run by the new feature described above.

  • The program loads into memory, loads the current part from the part log, sends the data to the Fanuc robot, then closes.

  • This method of sending data allows any software developer to create a program that can send data to other computers through networks whenever CNC Processor changes parts.


Check.jpg NEW - CNC Processor Builds a Part Name File in the LOGS Folder

  • When CNC Processor encounters a PART NAME command in the processor list, it now saves the part name to the a "cncprocessor_partname.log" file in the c:\cnc\logs folder.

  • This file contains only the part number, and can be accessed by any external process to allow the external process to know which part is currently running.

Check.jpg ENHANCED - Seam Find Detection Logic

Holedetect1.jpg

  • Several new PREBEND options allow for better control of the seam detect option in the Rotate Axis.

  • Added new COMDEF to set the seam detect rotate axis jog speed: Set Rotate Jog Speed.comdef

  • Added new HELP files to explain the new PREBEND seam detect options.

  • Added Sensor advance and retract COMDEFs (Seam Sensor

Holedetect2.jpg

Check.jpg Other

  • Importing older part files now brings the Tool data into memory also.

  • Older file imports no longer reset the bender name.

  • New COMDEFS were added:
    • Set Rotate Jog Speed.comdef
    • Seam Sensor Retract.comdef
    • Seam Sensor Advance.comdef

  • New CIO objects were added:
    • Output_SeamDetectSensor_Advance
    • Output_SeamDetectSensor_Retract

  • New help files were added:
    • Option_PrebendSeamDetectDegreesPerSecond.rtf
    • Option_PrebendSeamDetectFeedAbsoluteSpeed.rtf
    • Option_PrebendSeamDetectFeedAbsolutePosition.rtf
    • ExternalFileToRunWhenPartChangesInProcessor.rtf

  • This help file was updated:
    • Option_PrebendSeamDetectMode.rtf
