Some AddisonMckee Mark IV benders require that its custom teach mode data be returned in the communication data during an automated bender correction from VTube. For benders that require this data during corrections from VTube, if this data is not found by the control, then a small message box will appear with a message that the incoming data is not AddisonMckee Mark IV data, and the correction data will be ignored.<br><br>

To solve this problem,  VTube-LASER now takes in and stores this data during a RECALL from the bender.  When VTube sends corrections back to the bender, it includes this custom data in the transmission.  This means that a RECALL is required before corrections are made to this kind of control.<br><br>

* Be sure to perform a RECALL from the AddisonMckee before attempting to SEND corrections.  This will ensure that this data is stored and returned to the bender at correction time.<br><br>

Revision 1.87

Vtube-laser 1.81.4.jpg

Contents




Check.jpg NEW: Fast UniScan Scanning Method

UniScan is a new measurement technique that makes measuring easier, faster, and more precise - all at the same time.

The new feature encourages a large stripe count in each straight by asking the operator to take a single sweep of the straight. If the operator wants to take multiple back-and-forth sweeps (like spray painting), then this is simple to do also.

Check.jpg NEW: Project Open QuickLoad

An alternative QuickLoad window makes loading project files easier. It increases the font size and reduced the number of clicks to get to a file. It also has a search box that allows you to drill down in file searches quickly.

Check.jpg ENHANCED: Cylinder Laser Spike Filter

This filter automatically removes spikes in cylindrical laser stripes.

When measuring highly reflective tube, the points returned from the part of the diameter that is closest to the laser scanner on the FARO arm can spike away from the diameter. This filter recognizes that possibility and removed any data that spikes away from the curve before it is given to the math engine.

The filter options are in the bottom of the LASER tab in the Measure Setup menu.

Check.jpg NEW: Automatic Remeasure At Measure Error

Previous versions of VTube would always ask for the user to answer questions in a dialog when cylinder fit errors occur. This new version of VTube can automatically ask the user to remeasure if the new switch in System Options:Measure 2 menu is switched on

Check.jpg ENHANCED: Radius Handling for Winton ECNC4 Benders

AddisonMckeeMarkIV.png

The Winton ECNC4 data now handles the radius value during communications.

Check.jpg NEW: Other Bender Data Setup Menu Changes

  • A new CLEAR the Adjustment is added to allow operators to clear the Adjustment Grid.

  • A new CLEAR the AddisonMckee Mark IV enhanced data button is added.

  • The AUTO SEND buttons now send the the MASTER XYZ with the BLUE COLUMN LRA data automatically.

Check.jpg Other Changes

  • More optimizations were performed on internal timers - making VTube faster.

  • Changes were made to the interface to clear up the potential for orphaned windows in Dell M6700 laptops. For example, when the LASER mode window displays, the STEP mode window is now made invisible.

  • VTube-LASER Bender Data Setup is quicker to return an error message when it any network connection no longer exists. Previous versions could lock for minutes.

  • COMMENT Editor Window: The "Cancel Changes" button now works inside the Comment editors.

  • The VTube splash screen now loads and displays before VTube starts loading.
