CNC Bender v14.7

v14.7 - July 11, 2014 Back to CNC Bender Software Updates See CNC Bender Customer Service Page for an update.

NEW: "Custom ALL DIES Open" Option

This new option, when enabled, allows the operator to take over the control of how the dies open after each bend using CUSTOM COMMANDS. When this command is enabled, none of the dies will open after the bend in which it is enabled. It is then the responsibility of the operator to program CUSTOM COMMANDS for the dies to open. THEREFORE, USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN ENABLING THIS OPTION: YOU MUST TEACH CUSTOM COMMANDS TO OPEN THE DIES IN THE APPROPRIATE SEQUENCE BEFORE ALLOWING THE BEND ARM, CARRIAGE, OR RADIUS SHIFT TO MOVE.

NEW: "Custom ALL DIES Open" Confirmation and Warning Messages

PRE-BEND confirmation messages and warning messages will display when the new Custom ALL DIES Open option is enabled and AUTOBUILD is run. The CONFIRMATION Message Text EVERYTHING Looks OK - but this is a check to be sure you intend to ENABLE "Custom ALL DIES Open" after BEND 2. This means that the dies will NOT AUTOMATICALLY open after this bend unless CUSTOM COMMANDS have been created to handle all dies opening. If this is what you intend to do, then bring the "Disable AUTO and STEP MODE" to its UP position, which will let you run this program. The WARNING Message Text WARNING: There is a BYPASSED COMMAND. The option "Custom ALL DIES Open" is IGNORED in BEND 2 because the CUSTOM Commands IS NOT ENABLED for this bend. The dies will open using the standard order. To SOLVE THIS ISSUE, either create and ENABLE CUSTOM Commands for Bend 2, or DISABLE "Custom ALL DIES Open".

NEW: COPY CUSTOM COMMANDS to OTHER BENDS

The CUSTOM COMMAND menu now allows you to copy the current custom command setup to other bends. You can copy to one other bend. You can copy to all other bends. When the Custom Command window is for the PreBending section, then the copy buttons disappear. When there is only one bend, then the copy buttons disappear.

ENHANCED: Version 14 Is Now Tested To Work With Legacy I2T Servo Modules

Version 14 introduced compatibility with the new Galil module. This revision allows version 14 to work with legacy I2T modules also.
