v12.12 - August 25, 2014

• Back to CNC Bender Software Updates
• See CNC Bender Customer Service Page for an update.

CNC Processor can control machine lube at a lower level. This enables machine lube to work even when other motion is occurring. These are the changes for machine lube in this version:

• Depending on the style of switch that indicates the lube is complete, lube complete could be configured to either HIGH or LOW. So now this feature can allow a machine lube switch to be active when it is LOW.
  
  
• In this version , when the feature is active, and the E-Stop is pressed, the lube is immediately stopped.
  
  
• New messages for the machine lube are posted in the Processor log in the CNC Bender user interface.
  
  

Previous versions of CNC Bender would allow characters in part names that made the part name illegal or caused problems to CNC Bender.

• This issue has been resolved in this version with a keyboard that will make the disallowed character buttons to disappear when in the filename mode.
  
  
• When these characters are pressed on the physical keyboard when this mode is active, then the key presses will be ignored.

The characters filter out are:

• < (less than)
• > (greater than)
•  : (colon)
• " (double quote)
• / (forward slash)
• \ (backslash)
• | (vertical bar or pipe)
•  ? (question mark)
• * (asterisk)
• = (equals sign)

The new [Tube Support Override] processlist command is added to this version.

This command can be set to ENABLE or DISABLE in order to override CNC Processor from handling the tube support automatically.

An example use is to use it in the Home processlist to customize the tube support during homing.

[Tube Support Override] enable

[Tube Support Override] disable

• The Cycle Hold and Master Power ON buttons can now be defined so that LOW means activated.
