WHAT DOES IT DO?
The MTA feature allows operators measure the tube, rotate it, measure it again, rotate it, etc. - as many times as they want to. It's super easy to do, and it has a significant impact on the returning reliable tube shape data for large-diameter tubes.
- See Video 76 in VTube-LASER Videos to see MTA in action.
WHY WAS IT DEVELOPED?
|
This feature was requested by MEC, Inc. after they performed several weeks of tests on tube measuring large diameter tubes. MEC Inc. (Mayville Engineering), one of our customer-reference companies, performed several tests on large-diameter tubes to confirm that measuring both sides of the tube has a positive impact on the measurement of tube shapes. They requested that we make creating averaged (hybrid) tubes easier for their operators. We agreed that this is a great idea, so we developed the MTA feature to answer the need. |

USER INTERFACE FEATURES ADDED AND HOW IT WORKS
|
The new MTA window was added (see right).
New buttons were added to the Tube Measure Control window to make using this feature very easy (see below). |
