Check.jpg NEW: Bender Data Output with Full Springback

1 - Bender Communiciation with Full Springback

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.

2 - Reports can Output LRA with Full Springback

Full springback can now be printed in the reports for first-time setup of benders. This report responds to the Fixed and Proportional springback values in the Part Setup menu.

This feature also includes the added report tags that allow for the values with springback to be placed anywhere in the report:

  • Array_L_FullSpringback
  • Array_A_FullSpringback

And they are used in a report template like this:

<vtube_val>Array_L_FullSpringback</vtube_val>

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