Changes made for Pathfinder 5226 controllers.

On single folder machines the operator uses the clamp down pedal to get into a clamped state and then has to press another pedal to get the bending beam to come up. On double folder machines the need for pressing a pedal is sometimes not needed since the part could be gripped and the operator is not holding on to the material. The problem is that if the part is not gripped the controller is also not requiring that pedal press. This should not be the case since the operator is potentially holding the material and close to the machine. Having the bending beam move without a confirmation from the operator could cause injury.

The solution to this problem was to require a confirmation pedal press once clamped when the material is not gripped. This is safer and gives the operator the opportunity to re-position the material if needed.
