The NEW AUTOMATIC LASER SEPARATION method allows VTube-LASER to automatically control the UniScan separation distance between laser stripes based on the known MASTER tube length.

This allows VTube-LASER to lay stripes closer on shorter straights to collect more data - while making VTube spread out stripes on longer sections - automatically.

This method ensures even distribution of stripes for all lengths in the same tube without changing the laser separation distance on the fly.

See the VTube-LASER UniScan Automatic Laser Separation Tutorial for more information.

If you have to skip rows in bender setup data for avoidance moves, then this feature is important for you.

Use correction mapping in Bender Setup to move corrections up or down columns and to ignore specific corrections.

This ability is important for certain styles of benders - like SOCO, COMCO, and BendPro - because some users prefer to not use the teach mode to create avoidance moves. This ability allows the corrections to skip data that is used for extra moves or avoidance moves.

Each column of adjustments now has their own color-coded Map column.

• Yellow indicates that the adjustments were pushed down one row from the cell and downward in the grid.
• Red indicates that a correction is ignored.
• Pink indicates the the corrections are pulled up one row from the bottom of the grid.
• Green indicates that the correction is used.

The Correction Mapping values are stored in the project files and recalled automatically when the project is loaded.

Use this feature combined with Correction Data Mapptin to skip rows for avoidance moves.

This protocol allows you to correct OMCG benders.
