Check.jpg NEW: Springback Compensation

VTube now uses standard springback-compensation variables in the Part Setup menu. Here are some points about the feature:

  • The fixed springback value is a degree value added to every bend.
  • The proportional springback value is a percentage multiplied against every bend.
  • The values are used to anticipate springback of material in bending and compensate by over bending if necessary during correction.
  • The values are always used automatically in the Bender Setup menu. (See below for more details).
  • If the values are ZERO, then they are effectively switched off.
  • The values can be calculated using the Advanced Tubular Technologies Overbend Calculator.

Check.jpg ENHANCED - Bender Setup

The enhanced Measure Process menu is reorganized. The menu includes the new Straight Count box - which was moved from the Measure Setup menu.

The menu also includes a new field for the new Radius Segment Scan - segment count.

Check.jpg ENHANCED - Measure Setup Menu

The Measure Setup program is condensed because the Straight Count setting has been moved to the Measure Process menu for consistency.

Check.jpg FIX - Measure Tube XYZ Data Build

This version fixes a bug found in version 1.54 where the Measured XYZ data may not update after a measure.

Please be sure to use this version rather than v1.54.

Check.jpg ENHANCED - Best Fit Alignment Mathematics

New features were added to prevent unnecessary errors/warnings from displaying for parts that align too closely with the master part.
