Back to VTube-LASERHow to Measure a Short End Straight with a Flange in VTube-LASER
|
Difficult End Flanges
End flanges can cause challenges when a bend is coming out of the flange. There is no first straight available where the tube comes out of the flange. |
Step 1 - End Scan
Start the TUBE measure feature in the MEASURE PROCESS menu, then switch the laser off for the end-scan use the ball probe to collect the end of the tube. |
Step 2 - Straight Measure
When measuring the straight, switch the laser off again. Probe the inside of the cylinder as shown here.
