• Back to VTube-LASER

VTube-LASER can calculate Tube Elongation Percentage by subtracting the current CUT LENGTH from the MEASURED LENGTH - then calculate the percentage by comparing that change to the total ARC LENGTHS in the measured tube.

The formula used is (Measured Length - Cut Length) / (Arc Length Sum for Whole Tube) X 100

Any time VTube-LASER has these three conditions it can calculate tube elongation percentage:

1. MASTER XYZ centerline data is present
   
   
2. MEASURED XYZ centerline data is present (You have measured the tube.)
   
   
3. You have entered the pre-bent Cut Length value in Part setup of the part that you just measured
   
   

If these three conditions are true then you can right click on the Part Setup menu, and use the recalculate tube elongation percentage value.
