NEW - Send Part Number to Robots in Auto Mode

CNC Bender can load and run an external program at the moment it changes part numbers in Auto mode. A new option is in Low Level options list that is called "External File To Run When Part Changes In Processor". Enter the name of the external executable file and CNC Processor will run the program any time a new part number is run in Auto mode.

REPAIRED - Bend Arm Return with Feed and No Rotate

The bend arm return with a feed and NO rotate would stop Auto mode if Cycle Hold was activated with th bend arm returning. This problem is solved with two new commands that combine the bend axis and feed axis without a rotate axis. New Command 1: BendAbsoluteAndFeedNeg New Command 2: BendAbsoluteAndFeedPos

ENHANCED - PDA Motion in Test Bend

The PDA gearing is now properly set if the RVG (Realtime Variable Gearing) feature is off or on. If RVG is ON, then the gearing PDA electronic gearing is set based on the bend angle. The PDA returns home when the operator presses All Dies Home.

REPAIR - Tube Support During Home

The Tube Support now stays DOWN during homing when the tube support UP enable feature is disabled.

New - [AXIS ENABLE AT ALL TIMES] Internal Command

This command is used by the process list builder to enable the Feed axis even when the axis list is setup to only enable when moving. This ensures that the Feed axes with low gearbox ratios stay in position when loading the tube.

New - [AXIS ENABLE ONLY TO MOVE] Internal Command

This command is used by the process list builder to allow the Feed axis to disable when not moving.

New - Ignore Step added to Popup Menu Options in COMDEF Editor

Enable and Disable IGNORE STEP choices are added to the popup menu for the command list to help change the state quickly.
