Correcting a Bender

You can see the deviation in this part. The transparent yellow tolerance envelopes indicate that the part is outside of the deviation tolerance allowed (in this case 0.039" or 1 mm).

VTube-LASER can send correction data to benders to steer them into the correction motion to make the correct tube shape.

Bidirectional Communication Controls

With the right protocol at the bender, VTube-LASER can recall data from the bender, and send both setup and correction data to the bender.

  • Operators typically press the "1" button to recall data to be sure the data in the blue columns match the data in the bender.

  • Then they press "2" to send the orange columns to the bender as corrected data.

  • Press "3" to clear the adjustment data after a correction as it should only be used one time.

  • For benders that can't respond to a recall (1 above), they can recalculate the blue columns by clearing and placing the adjustments back into the blue columns automatically.

Correction Damping

VTube-LASER has incorporated a unique correction damping feature into the software for situations were corrections may tend to over correct.

The damping algorithm was learned by observing corrections in customer applications. We can confirm that it works well when needed.

Bender Setup

VTube-LASER can also send setup data to the bender for setup.

The software has several choices for controlling how the data is formatted before sending to the bender.
