NEW FEATURE: RECALCULATION OF INCOMING STRAIGHTS WITH NEW CENTERLINE RADII

BACKGROUND

    When importing Supravision data to convert to Chiyoda or Keins FPB Data, there is the potential for the following scenarios:
    1. The radius values in the Supravision data is slightly different than the radius values for the tools on the bender.
    2. There are more radius values in the Supravision data than the bender allows.

ISSUE

    This creates a problem where the LENGTHS between bends that are converted to FEED data are no longer precise.



SOLUTION

    The solution is for Benderlink to give the opportunity to calculate new FEED distances when XYZ data exists in the Supravision data.



HOW IT WORKS

    STEP 1


    Open the import SV menu and press the Import Supravision button

    STEP 2


    Choose the Supravision file to import

    STEP 3


    Benderlink checks the number of XYZ points with the bend count

    If there is a match (points = bends + 2) then this window is displayed.

    STEP 4


    Examine and modify the radii values

    You can change any radius values found in the Supravision data by checking the check box, then entering a new radius value in the right box for each radius change.

    STEP 5


    Remove the USB Flash Drive

    Remove the USB flash drive using the system tool tray "Safely Remove Hardware" feature.

    STEP 6


    Plug the USB Flash Drive In

    Plug the USB flash drive into the NEW target computer.

    STEP 7


    Copy to C:\CNC

    Use Windows Explorer to copy the data to the same folder on the target computer's drive. The folder should be "c:\cnc"

    STEP 8


    Run the Hardware Key DRIVER

    HASP Driver Software

    Browse to the c:\cnc\key folder and run "hdd32.exe." This program is a hardware key driver file that needs only to be run once. It may require that you be logged in as a user with administrative rights.

    Download the latest hdd32.exe file here: http://www.advancedtubular.com/key/hdd32.exe

    STEP 9


    Transfer Hardware Key

    Hasp Hardware Key

    Remove the hardware key from the parallel port of the CNC Bender operator station (inside the operator station enclosure).

    Plug it into the new computer parallel port.

    STEP 10


    Set the NEW Computer IP Address

    Use the Windows Start / Connect To menu to configure the TCP/IP address of the port that will connect to the bender. Set that port to a fixed IP address of 192.168.0.199. Any valid setting under 200 for the last octet will work. The operator station uses .200 as the address. If the operator station is not powered on, or is not attached to the bender network, then you can also use address .200.

    STEP 11


    Plug Ethernet

    		Plug an ethernet cable (RJ45 type) between the new computer's NIC port and the Netgear switch in the electronics cabinet using a standard ethernet cable.

    STEP 12


    CNC Bender Software

    Start CNC Bender software by finding the CNCBender.exe program in the c:\cnc folder and double clicking on it (or select the file and press Enter).
