The Pressure Die Retract Timer [[COMDEF]] command can open the pressure die a small distance and simultaneously send the [[clamp die]] home.  The command is considered complete when the pressure die has arrived at its timed destination.  The next step is often for a Post Bend Jog (which is a bend die clearance move for non split-die benders).

Because our operator station systems are becoming so fast, it is easily possible for the Feed axis to start the Post Bend Jog without the clamp die arriving completely at home. Of course, this may cause a tube-to-die collision.  This is a typical process list where this problem can occur:

Predicting elongation in a tube shape requires complex mathematics that changes per customer application.  Benderlink for SolidWorks now allows operators to program their Bend Reduction formula into the program.  This is the Bend Reduction Function editor:

The '''PressureDieReturnWithTimer_SendClampAndBoostHome''' command works like this:
 
−
<br><br>
 
  
−
# It sends the pressure due out a timed duration

# It also energizes the clamp home

<br>

# It also energizes the PD boost home

# When the time expires, the COMDEF is considered complete and hands control to the next COMDEF command in the processlist.
+
−
# The clamp and boost will continue moving home until they arrive at the end of the motion.

In this case, the process can be so fast that the FeedPositive command (after AllBoostReturn) may be told to start moving before the clamp die and PD boost cylinder returns home.

Check.jpg New - Open Bender Data in Explorer Feature

A new button that allows you to open and explorer with the Windows Explorer has been added to the top of the main screen:

Predicting elongation in a tube shape requires complex mathematics that changes per customer application. Benderlink for SolidWorks now allows operators to program their Bend Reduction formula into the program. This is the Bend Reduction Function editor:

Check.jpg Redesigned - Send Data To Bender Menu

Objects have been re-arranged in the menus to allow for more logical placement on the screen in Benderlink. Objects have been removed this menu for simplification. Also: A new "Current Bender Number" label is added to help quickly identify which bender is being communicated with.

Check.jpg New - SVNET Setup Menu

Objects have been re-arranged in the menus to allow for more logical placement on the screen in Benderlink. Objects have been moved new SVNET Setup menu

There are three sub-menus in the SVNET menu:

  1. Network Path - Setup for the common SVNET path for communications
  2. Client - Setup for features where Benderlink calls out to the bender or sends data to the bender.
  3. Server - Setup for Benderlink's ability to respond to commands from the bender.
