NEW - Servo-controlled PRESSURE DIE Motion

Servo-controlled pressure die positioning is much more accurate and the motion is smoother. This feature is especially useful for extreme accuracy during part capture. Parts can be accurately captured by the pressure die during PREBEND (Load), BENDING, and POSTBENDING (Unloading).

NEW - Options for PD Servo Motion

PreBend Options: PD Load Capture Position This feature allows you to move the pressure die to a position close to the bend die for load-capture.
Overall Options: PD Jog Position After Bends This feature allows you to open the pressure die slightly after a bend to relieve pressure before a mandrel pull.
Bending Options: PD Servo Retract Position This feature allows you to partially retract the pressure die during Multi-Bending and immediately after a bend.
PostBending Options: PD Unload Capture Position This feature allows you to partially retract the pressure die immediately after the last bend for unloading.

NEW - CNC Processor Builds a Part Name File in the LOGS Folder

When CNC Processor encounters a PART NAME command in the processor list, it now saves the part name to the a "cncprocessor_partname.log" file in the c:\cnc\logs folder. This file contains only the part number, and can be accessed by any external process to allow the external process to know which part is currently running.

ENHANCED - Seam Find Detection Logic

Several new PREBEND options allow for better control of the seam detect option in the Rotate Axis. Added new COMDEF to set the seam detect rotate axis jog speed: Set Rotate Jog Speed.comdef Added new HELP files to explain the new PREBEND seam detect options. Added Sensor advance and retract COMDEFs (Seam Sensor
