Revision 6.8

Back to Benderlink for Chiyoda
Back to Benderlink for KEINS

Older versions of Benderlink stored bender data from all benders in a single path.

However, it is normal to keep bender setups separate for each bender since every Chiyoda bender will have a unique setup.

Examples are two Chiyoda benders with different machine lengths, or two benders that differ in bend direction (left-hand or right-hand).

This new Benderlink feature now assumes that every bender should have a unique storage path on the drive or network.

See the Bender Type Setup page to setup and control this new path per bender.

Benderlink can now stop the process and ask for input if a zero diameter is encountered.

If this feature is deactivated, then Benderlink will ignore zero value radii values. In this case, Benderlink will automatically change a zero value diameter to non-zero using this formula:

(Rad Level 1) / 1.5

If the Rad Level 1 value is zero, then Benderlink will use this formula:

(Rad Level 2) / 1.5

• If both radius level values are zero, then Benderlink will set the diameter to 1 unit.
  
  A non-zero diameter is important for communicating with ROMER DOCS software because DOCS will report a corrupted file if it senses a zero diameter. (Some measuring center software packages, like VTube-LASER will continue with a zero diameter.)
  
  
• If the radius stop is enabled, and Benderlink stops for input while the measuring center is performing a recall, then the recall process will time out if the new diameter is not entered within the time out period.
