CNC Bender v11-20091019

NEW - PART FILES Now CONTAIN the Push Bend Profile Data

The Push Bend Profile data is now SAVED INSIDE the part files, and LOADED with part files. This allows the data built up for a part to follow that part file when reloaded or transferred to other benders.

NEW - Push Bend TYPE: Fixed Radius - SIMPLE

The new FIXED RADIUS SIMPLE Push Bend type allows you to enter the actual values of travel for the feed, rotate, and bend arm axes. No special generation of the Feed axis movement is created like when the FIXED RADIUS - GENERATED. Whatever you enter is what is used.

NEW - SELECT Push Bend Profile Window for BEND OPTIONS

A new Push Bend Profile selection menu makes selecting Push Bend Profiles much easier and more powerful than the simple list used in previous versions. This allows CNC Bender to separate the different types of Push Bends into different lists for less confusion during choosing a profile for a bend.

NEW - BEND OPTIONS uses Push Bend SETUP Menu TO SELECT Profiles

The Push Bend Profiles are now selected from within the Push Bend Profile Setup menu. This makes selection much simpler and more powerful. It also allows for profiles to be added, edited, or added while you are adding them. Select from Tabbed Setup Menu Select the Push Bend Profile from the the actual Push Bend Profile Setup Window Edit While Adding to Bend Options Edit a Push Bend Profile as you adding it to a Bend Option. Adust Values While Adding to Bend Option Adjust the Push Bend Profile from inside the Bend Option. When entering the Push Bend Profile Setup menu this way, the Grid Mode is set to "Select Row". If the Push Bend Profile Name already in the Bend Option exists in the Setup List, then the correct tab menu and profile will be selected for you when you enter the menu from Bend Options.

NEW - IMPORT, EXPORT, CLEAR in Push Bend Profile Setup

The Push Bend Profile Setup allows you to import profiles from other part files, export profiles, and clear profiles for starting new parts.

NEW - IMPORT, EXPORT, CLEAR in PDA Realtime Variable Gearing Profile Setup

The PDA-RVG Profile Setup allows you to import profiles from other part files, export profiles, and clear profiles for starting new parts.

NEW - FRB Push Bend Indicators and Features

Press the Profile button, and choose a NEW profile from any profile list. New indicators show which TYPE of profile is selected. [vr] = Variable Radius [fr] = Fixed Radius - Simple Yellow field = Fixed Radius - Generated

NEW - Keyboard DISABLE Mode

The keyboard is now automatically disabled in any menu that does not require keyboard input. This prevents the "clicking" of any buttons or controls in CNC Bender software using the keyboard. The exceptions are: When CNC Bender is in the Low Level menu. When the CNC Bender numeric keypad is active.

NEW - Notes Included in General Section of Reports

Customers have asked us to display the note data from the General Setup in all report. So now this data is automatically included in any CNC Bender report that displays the General section. The notes display is included in the Load Part File and Load Tool File menus. Click on the image to see a closeup.
