This article shows how to quickly propagate radii values to other parts of VTube-LASER and VTube-STEP using the DEFAULT RADIUS value. |
- Back to VTube-LASER
- Back to VTube-STEP
STEP 1 - Enter the DEFAULT RADIUS
The only purpose of the Default Radius value is to make setting multiple XYZ and LRA data rows easier. Think of the default radius as the radius that is used most often for any given tube. Enter that value in the Part Setup menu, then allow it to speed up entry in other menus. You can also use the Default Radius to quickly change all the bend radii values in the tube shape at any date in the future. In this example, we've entered 3.5 inches in the row 26 Default Radius. |
STEP 2 - RADII TAB MENU
Enter the XYZ menu. This is the Parametric Tube Data menu in STEP mode, and the either the MASTER TUBE or MEASURED TUBE menus in VTube-LASER mode. |
STEP 3 - PRESS the "Resynchronize Radii to Default" BUTTON
Press the button to change all the radii. |
STEP 4 - PRESS the "F2" BUTTON to REFRESH THE PARAMETRICS
Pressing F2 will refresh the parametric model and show the radius change like this. |
How to SEND CORRECTION Data to the HERBER Control from VTube-LASER
STEP 1 - Bend the Tube
Bend the tube in the HERBER bender. |
STEP 2 - Measure the tube with VTube-LASER
Measure and align the tube to determine if it qualifies by falling within the envelope tolerance for the tube shape. |
STEP 3 - Enter BENDER SETUP
Click on the BENDER SETUP button in the Navigation Pane. |
STEP 4 - Choose the BENDER NUMBER
Set the correct bender number at the top of the window. |
STEP 5 - COPY the Data from VTube-LASER's Main Memory
If this is the first correction, then the Bender Setup screen may show no data. If this is the case, then it is necessary to update the Bender Setup screen from VTube-LASER's main memory like this:
|
STEP 6 - OPTIONAL STEP - You Can Manually Change the ADJUSTMENT Values
You can manually change the ADJUSTMENT values before sending corrections if you want to. Some users like to set the first and last Length adjustment to zero in order to keep the start position of the carriage in the same place - for when they have extra length on the ends. |
STEP 7 - Send Corrections to the HERBER
Press "Auto SEND Bender CORRECTIONS". VTube-LASER will let you select a path, then save a MES file to that path. |
STEP 8 - The SEND to BENDER Complete Window
A window should appear for a few seconds indicating that the Send to the Bender is complete. |
STEP 9 - IMPORT the Correction Data at the HERBER Control
Move to the HERBER control and follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 10 - REPEAT STEPS 1 THROUGH 9
Bend the corrected tube starting in Step 1, then measure it again (Step 2) and follow the rest of the steps until the part is within tolerance. |
