• Back to CNC Bender Software Updates

• The pressure die positioning is significantly better in accuracy.
  
  
• This feature is especially useful for extreme accuracy during part capture.
  
  
• Parts can be accurately captured by the pressure die during LOAD, BENDING, and POSTBENDING (Unloading).
  
  

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

• 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
