Revision as of 08:50, 8 April 2009
ENHANCED - Moved MANDREL CYLINDER ENABLE option from OVERALL to BEND Rows
This change allows the mandrel to be switched ON or OFF individually for any bend row rather than for every bend row.
This new feature is critical for mandrels in rectangular or square tubing that rotate 90 degrees, but the mandrel can only bend in one of the two planes.
CHANGE - Mandrel Early Advance in Prebend Logic
If ENABLED, this command is now SKIPPED if there the MANDREL CYLINDER ENABLE is OFF in the first bend.
