Servo-controlled pressure die positioning is much more accurate and the motion is smoother.
This feature is especially useful for extreme accuracy during part capture. Parts can be accurately captured by the pressure die during PREBEND (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
