Type of Upgrade: FASTER BENDING

The changes in this version are designed to make CNC Bender run faster. On a 2 part with a side-loader, these optimizations combined trimmed 4 or more seconds off of every bend cycle.

Check.jpg NEW - Final Bend Simultaneous Motion

  • The final bend arm return motion now allows the process list that follows to begin even if the bend arm is still returning home.

  • The Bend Return Step Point value in the last row controls when the final bend arm return will release the processlist to move back to the beginning of the program.

Check.jpg NEW - New Optimization in Processor - Makes Bender Run Faster

  • This is an important change that trims seconds of each cycle.
  • Every part process list begins with an initialization section that can easily be 50 lines of commands. Running through these commands for the same part repeatedly when starting the next part cycle wastes time.

  • So the CNC Processlist Builder now inserts a new [BEGIN RUN AGAIN] label placed in the middle of each part's process list to trim off processing time by showing CNC Processor where to start when the same part is run the second time and greater.

Check.jpg NEW - Second Constant Run List Designed for HIGH SPEED OPERATIONS

  • USe the new high-speed constant run list for processes that should run all the time and get high attention.

  • Control the interval of how often the list runs in the Processor tab in the Low Level menu.

  • The list file is separate from the ConstantRun processlist. The name is "ConstantRunHS.processlist"

  • Put tube-support control in this list to make it more responsive to fast moving Feed axes.
