Type of Upgrade: FLEXIBILITY and REPAIR

The changes in this version are minor debugs to the November 4, 2009 version of CNC Bender - Speed optimizations. (See CNC Bender v11-20091104 and CNC Bender v11-20090518)

Check.jpg REPAIR- Final Bend Simultaneous Motion

  • If the final Bend Return Step Point is ZERO, then the standard "BendAbsolute" command is now called correctly without generating errors during AutoBuild.

  • This switches the immediate move "Bend Absolute" off - which makes CNC Bender wait for the bend arm to completely return home before moving to the next step in the process.

Check.jpg REPAIR- Time-Out Value for Bend Arm Return

  • The bend arm return timeout value in the PREBEND section of the processlist was accidentally set to the Run Buttons timeout in the previous version.

  • This has been resolved so that the axis timeout value is used.

Check.jpg REPAIR - Feed Move into Interference Zones for AFTER Check for PD (Pressure Die) HOME

  • CNC Bender now properly checks for the PD HOME switch activated before ATTEMPTING to move the FEED axis into the interference zone

  • Previous versions could skip the wait for the PD motion to complete, then give a collision error by not waiting for the PD to move home.

  • This prevents the following type of error:

11/17/2009 2:50:19 PM Collision - The Pressure Die Is Not Home And Feed Would Have Penetrated the Pressure Die Interference Zone, CIO Checked: Input_PressureDieIsHome_End



Check.jpg ENHANCE - AllDiesToHome Command and AllDiesToHomeWithoutPDA Commands

  • Both of these commands can now be named in the General Dynamic Option List in Low Level.

  • Automated logic has been installed to work like this:

COMDEFname alldiestohome.jpg

  • When returning a PDA motion-controlled axis...

  • When using a FOLLOWER with NO prox...

...then AllDiesToHomeWithoutPDA is called immediately after in order to insure that the pressure die and clamp dies are home before continuing.

  • When returning a PDA directional valve actuator...

  • When returning a FOLLOWR with a prox switch...

...then AllDiesToHome is called to be sure the pressure die, clamp die, and Pressure Die Assist die are home before continuing.
