Revision 1.58

Back to VTube-LASER

Check.jpg NEW: Construct Tube in 3D Space

Tube shapes can now be constructed by pointing the arm ball probe to the end points and intersection points.

This feature allows you to route a tube in 3D space.

The feature is used by our customers to construct tube routes in a vehicle's engine compartment or under the car on a lift.

The new Construct Tube Control (shown above) allows you to point to any location in space to designate an end point or an intersection point. It also allows you to increase the number of straights/points on-the-fly. This allows operators to change the number of points at any time during the measurement process.

Check.jpg ENHANCED: Measure Tube Control - Decrease / Increase Button

Operators can now increase or decrease the number of straights to measure in the tube on-the-fly if necessary. The new Decrease/Increase buttons are inserted on the control.

The control also shows the total number of straights being measured. So now the control will read, for example "Straight 1 of 5" - rather than just "Straight 1."

Check.jpg NEW: Show SCANNED or CALCULATED Graphic Data Any Time

VTube now allows operators to show or hide the orange scanned points or the large orange calculated end and intersection points at any time.

Check.jpg NEW: Auto Display SCANNED and CALCULATED

Vtube-laser 1 58 autodisplay scanned calculated.jpg

The Draw Options feature is new to Measure Setup. You can select these two options if you want the SCANNED or the CALCULATED data to display or not. During measurement. If both features are unchecked, then the tube measurement shows now realtime graphics data during measurement - like other measurement software.



Check.jpg ENHANCED: Negative Lengths or Bend Angles are ZEROED

Vtube-laser 1 57 bendersetup zeroedlength.jpg

Bender Lengths and angles that calculate negative values are zeroed.



Check.jpg ENHANCED: Springback Compensation for Corrections

The springback compensation values in the Bender Setup menu are now calculated based on the adjustment value alone.

  • For example, if the adjustment value for a 90 degree bend is found to be +3 degrees, then the springback compensation added to the bend is calculated based on 3 degrees, not 93 degrees.


  • The springback compensation works for both positive and negative adjustments. A positive adjustment will add springback. A negative adjustment will remove springback.


  • VTube will not use springback for small adjustment values. The "Use springback compensation for bend adjustments greater than or equal to:" setting in the Bender Setup menu controls this.

Check.jpg NEW: Transfer Master LRA to Setup LRA with Springback Compensation

When transferring data from the VTube MASTER LRA to the BENDER SETUP LRA, automatic springback compensation is automatically applied if the springback values are non-zero.

Check.jpg NEW: Part Name in Toolbar

Vtube-laser 1 57 toolbar filename.jpg

The current part name is now displayed in the toolbar below the VTube-LASER logo.



Check.jpg NEW- Springback Values Transfer from Overbend

VTube-LASER can now receive springback data from Overbend with the press of a single button in the Overbend Calculator.

Check.jpg ENHANCED - Other Changes

  • Added high precision angular decimal places value in System Option/Math



  • Made Comments to display after the file has loaded and the graphic is displayed on the screen.



  • The BEST FIT alignment procedure is fine tuned to run about 6 times faster than in previous versions with no loss of accuracy.



  • Improvements/fixes to Supravision RECALL procedures.
