Check.jpgNEW - AUTOMATIC LASER SEPARATION Method for UniScan Mode

The NEW AUTOMATIC LASER SEPARATION method allows VTube-LASER to automatically control the separation distance between laser stripes based on the known MASTER tube length.

This allows VTube-LASER to lay stripes closer on shorter straights to collect more data - while making VTube spread out stripes on longer sections - automatically.

This method ensures even distribution of stripes for all lengths in the same tube without changing the laser separation distance on the fly.

These are the working rules for the method:

  • This mode only works with parts that have MASTER data.
  • If a part does not have MASTER data (like in Reverse Engineering), then the regular UniScan Cylinder Separation Distance value is used.
  • If the separation distance is ever less than 0.004" (100 microns), then the value reverts to 100 microns.
  • If the MASTER length is less than or equal to ZERO, then the separation value reverts to the regular UniScan Cylinder Separation Distance value.

Check.jpgNEW - Bender Setup Window CORRECTION MAPPING Adds Flexibility to Corrections

Use correction mapping in Bender Setup to move corrections up or down columns and to ignore specific corrections.

This ability is important for certain styles of benders - like SOCO, COMCO, and BendPro - because some users prefer to not use the teach mode to create avoidance moves. This ability allows the corrections to skip data that is used for extra moves or avoidance moves.

Each column of adjustments now has their own color-coded Map column.

  • Yellow indicates that the adjustments were pushed down one row from the cell and downward in the grid.
  • Red indicates that a correction is ignored.
  • Pink indicates the the corrections are pulled up one row from the bottom of the grid.
  • Green indicates that the correction is used.



The Correction Mapping values are stored in the project files and recalled automatically when the project is loaded.

Check.jpgNEW - COMCO CSV Communications Protocol

This protocol allows you to correct COMCO benders through the CSV file import and export.

Check.jpgNEW - Now VTube has THREE Default Radii

Radius 1, Radius 2, and Radius 3 are now available in Part Setup.

Check.jpgFIX - The Taskbar Icon Now Displays

VTube-LASER users discovered that the taskbar icon did not always display. This has been fixed.
