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

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

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.<br><br>

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

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

About the AUTOMATIC LASER SEPARATION Method for UniScan Mode

The AUTOMATIC LASER SEPARATION method allows VTube-LASER to automatically control the 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.

How AUTOMATIC LASER SEPARATION Method for UniScan Mode Works

  • This mode only works with parts that have MASTER data.

  • If a part does not have MASTER data (like in Reverse Engineering), then the regular UniScan Cylinder Separation Distance value is used.

  • If the separation distance is ever less than 0.004" (100 microns), then the value reverts to 100 microns.

  • If the MASTER length is less than or equal to ZERO, then the separation value reverts to the regular UniScan Cylinder Separation Distance value.
