ENHANCED - TOOLBOX FEATURES
The Options Toolbox includes these new features:
- Select multiple items in a list in order to transfer all of them at the same time.
- Press a single button to transfer all of the options between the In Use and the In the Toolbox lists.
- A new button in each option page allows users to put option into the options toolbox without opening the toolbox.
- A new HELP button is available
- We discovered and repaired issues with the Toolbox configuration system (The logic that controls how the last setup is recalled and applied to all parts.)
NEW - PDA-RVG Profile Editor
The new RVG Profile editor allows you to edit an unlimited number of profiles. Each profile controls the gearing between the bend arm and the pressure assist.
NEW - PDA-RVG Profile Editor
The new RVG Profile ADJUST POINT editor allows you to edit a single value in an RVG Profile row. Adjust points are angles where the gearing "adjusts" to a new value.
NEW - EXPANDABLE SERVO MANUAL PAGE
The SERVO Manual Control page has been completely redesigned to allow for ANY NUMBER OF AXES. The page can grow or shrink automatically depending on the bender setup.
Initial tests from our technicians indicate that this page is a significant improvement in ease of use over the previous page.
The page also has new features: Every axis can be sent to either 1 pre-programmed relative location, or 2 pre-programmed absolute locations.
NEW - TOOLBOX PAGE FOR STORING OPTIONS WHEN NOT BEING USED
CNC Bender now allows operators to put their options away - just like tools in a tool box. See CNC Bender Toolbox for details.
The feature is called "Toolbox" and is available for every Dynamic Options List in CNC Bender.
A new Toolbox icon is in every dynamic options page:
The action of putting an option away is as simple moving the option from one list to another using move buttons. When you need them again, they will still be in the box - already set with the value that you used last when transferring them to the toolbox.
NEW - REDESIGNED MANUAL TEST BEND PAGE
The page has bigger buttons and a new Real-time Variable Gearing Profile selection. That means you can use Real-time Variable Gearing in the Test Bend page! You can even edit the Profile before running a test bend.
NEW - LOAD PART BUTTON IN THE FRB MENU
A new LOAD button has been inserted into the FRB page. This saves from navigating through several other screens in order to load data into the FRB menu.
Other Changes
- Now control the home offset of any axis on a user-configurable process lists with the "Home Offset" parameter called "HOF". It is no longer necessary to use low-level software to adjust the offset.
- New Axis Speed grid that can expand to any number of axes in the low level menu.
- A new Low Level option allows you to switch the voice messages off in either CNC Processor or CNC Bender or both.
Other Pages
- Back to CNC Bender
- Back to CNC Bender Software Updates
- Read about Push Bending
- Read about Push Bend Profile Tables
