Check.jpgNEW LASER SCAN LOGIC FOR RECTANGULAR AND SQUARE TUBES

IF YOU MEASURE SQUARE TUBES WITH THE LASER SCANNER, THEN THIS IS AN IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR YOU.

The rectangular and square LASER scanning logic is much improved over the previous version.

If you can square or rectangular tubes, then this version is especially important for you.

Check.jpgNEW - RECTANGULAR PROBE OFFSET DIRECTION LOGIC CORRECTED

IF YOU MEASURE SQUARE TUBES WITH THE BALL PROBE, THEN THIS IS AN IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR YOU.

We discovered that the rectangular and square tube measurements might project the planes to the wrong side of the ball probe. This incorrect compensation would cause the centerline to shift by up to double the ball diameter.

This has been fixed in this version.

Check.jpgNEW - PRESS ACCEPT BUTTON WITHOUT AIMING AT THE PART

VTube-LASER operators know that previous versions of VTube-LASER require that you aim the LASER scanner at the part when you press the accept button at the end of a scan.

  • For the ROMER scanner, this is one of the two side buttons.
  • For the FARO scanner, this is the red button.


We redesigned the scanning engine so it no longer requires this in-range scanning position.

As of this version, VTube-LASER will watch for and react to the accept button press even if no laser data is incoming.

Check.jpgNEW - HERBER Bender Corrections Through a Network (VTube-LASER Only)

We added and tested HERBER MES file correction support that allows VTube-LASER to correct HERBER benders through a network connection automatically.

Bender corrections only work through VTube-LASER. (Not VTube-STEP)


See VTube HERBER Bender Correction (MES Protocol)

Check.jpgNEW - HERBER Bender Setup From Solid Model Through a Network (VTube-LASER or VTube-STEP)

We added the HERBER SOL file protocol that allows VTube-LASER to send NEW data to the HERBER benders through a network connection.

Use this new feature to import solid models into HERBER bender controls.

Bender setup for the HERBER works through either VTube-LASER or VTube-STEP


See VTube HERBER Bender New Part Setup (SOL Protocol)

Check.jpgNEW - VTUBE-LASER TUNED TO WORK WITH THE NEW FARO 6.1.2.7 USB DRIVER

FARO USB driver 6.1.2.7 is a rewrite of the USB driver. It has many improvements that are very much worthwhile - like the scanner calibration is much improved.

However, this new driver sends tactile probe data at a much higher rate than previous FARO USB drivers. This version of VTube-LASER is tuned to handle the new data rates.

Check.jpgOTHER CHANGES

  • VTube-STEP could give a list index error when loading the Assembly Control window. This has been fixed.
