• Back to CNC Bender Software Updates

The new logic ensures that the swing-away inside wiper die swings away properly for a one bend part.

The swing-away inside wiper will no longer move in before the carriage moves to the START position. It will only move in after the motion to the start position. If the START position is inside the wiper die zone, then the wiper die will swing in only if the next motion is to unchuck and move back out of the zone (for example on a one bend part).

A new low-level option is added that changes the behavior of motion-controlled Jog commands when the control is in Cycle Hold.   The "Store Jog Commands When In Cycle Hold" command will allow the bender to store and act on any jog command that was pressed immediately after entering CYCLE START.

If the feature is disabled, then CNC BENDER will not store motion-controlled jog commands - but will clear them from the queue.

• Manual button presses when in CYCLE HOLD mode no longer clear the command with the "Use CYCLE START" message.
  
  
• The AUTO button no longer disables when in CYCLE HOLD.
  
  
• As with the previous version, COMDEFS can ignore CYCLE HOLD. For example, the Clamp and PD open commands can programmed to ignore the CYCLE HOLD state - and open even in CYCLE HOLD.
