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 compared to the previous version.

Check.jpgFIX - RECTANGULAR PROBE COMPENSATION OFFSET DIRECTION LOGIC CORRECTED

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

For TACTILE measuring, 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 - YELLOW BAR MARKS SPLIT BENDS ACTIVE IN LRA DATA GRID

It's important for operators to know when Split Bend is active in VTube-STEP or VTube-LASER (for 180-degree or greater bends). VTube compresses the bender data with Split Bends active and measures the part differently.

So VTube now shows a yellow shaded row in the LRA data grids where a Split Bend is switched on.

Check.jpgNEW - STAR TECHNOLOGY Bender Corrections Through a Network

We added the STAR EVO SVNet file correction support that allows VTube-LASER to correct STAR EVO benders through a network connection automatically.

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


See VTube STAR SVNet Bender Communications for more details.

Check.jpgNEW - (NEW VALUE) MAXIMUM NUMBER OF POINTS ALLOWED IN END SCAN LASER STRIPE

This was added because the ROMER RS4 scanners give VTube-LASER too much data for end-stripes, thus slowing down the graphics engine and measuring process.

The LASER point filter value solves this problem by limiting the number of points in a stripe down to a reasonable number for VTube-LASER.



If you are using the recommended end-scan technique, then we recommend that the value be no more than 50.

Check.jpgFIX - BENDER SETUP WINDOW DISPLAY ON REDUCED MONITOR COUNT

The Bender Setup window could improperly attempt to display on a monitor that was available, but has become no longer available. This was a problem when opening a laptop monitor, then closing it while VTube-LASER was running.

This has been resolved.
