−
Full springback is now included in direct communications with benders connected to the bender network in VTube.  This data responds to the Fixed and Proportional springback values in the Part Setup menu.
 
−
 
−
The benefit of this feature is that you can include springback in the original master data for first-time setup of the bender.
 
−

''Note: This feature is accessed from VTube-STEP mode which is included in the VTube-LASER license.''

−
* Array_L_FullSpringback

Revision 1.79

Vtube-laser 1.78.jpg



Transfer Tubes to CAM2 Measure 10

  • Enter the tube data in VTube - or scan the tube with the FARO, then save CAM2 Measure 10 tube data for import into CAM2.
  • Save the MASTER or the MEASURED.
  • Save using a Popup menu in the XYZ grid, or save from the the File tab.



Added Split Bend collection feature in Collect Control in STEP mode

  • Split bend (for handling 180 degree bends or greater) was available in LASER mode - now it is available in STEP mode too.
  • This means that you can also display compress LRA data with two 90s being combined to show a 180 degree bend in the LRA grid and the reports.
  • In STEP mode, you can select an arc section that* becomes the guide for the intrados and extrados - showing VTube where to form the split bend centerline.
  • The split construction model now displays in STEP mode.

Added new Radius Table in XYZ pop-up grid for storage of often-used radii

  • Store commonly used radii in a table for use in the future.
  • Any number can be added to the list.
  • VTube can now output TRUE radius as well as NOMINAL radius values based on the radius table.

Other Changes

  • Fixed slow dragging control windows in STEP mode The End Scan Diameter
  • Qualification Tolerance value is now in the Measure Setup menu of LASER mode
  • The Maximum Number of Points Allowed in Cylinder Laser Stripe value is moved to the Measure Setup menu of LASER mode
  • The Spin Edit controls in the Measure Setup can now be manually set with the keyboard.
  • Faster saving and loading of VTube-LASER persistence files makes VTube load and close faster
  • New options in XYZ pop-up menus
  • The formula for building the centerline in the split bend area is improved and more reliable.
