CHANGES to CNC BENDER

Automatic Cross Check for Module Configuration Files

CNC Bender cannot operate properly if the module configuration files are setup improperly. CNC Bender now performs a module configuration cross check diagnostic every time it starts.

If the configuration files are not perfectly matched, then you will see this warning:

Update to File Load User Window

The File Load menu User Interface adjusted slightly in order to be more consistent with other CNC Bender menus.

ORIGINAL:


NEW this VERSION

CHANGES to CNC PROCESSOR

CNC Processor is the program that directly controls the bender actuators.

Disallow Jog Queuing When in Cycle Hold Mode

CNC Bender no longer allows an operator to jog any axis or actuator if the Cycle Hold button is pressed. This mode is slightly different than Safe Mode Cycle Hold, where the safety scanner area is entered. When the safety scanner or mat is activated, the machine changes to a near Zero Energy State state.

Cycle Hold without stepping on the mat or safety scanner acts as a pause button without changing the bender into safe mode.
