About the AUTOMATIC LASER SEPARATION Method for UniScan Mode

The 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.

How AUTOMATIC LASER SEPARATION Method Works

  • This mode only works with parts that have MASTER data.

  • The FACTOR value is multiplied against the current MASTER length to get a new separation distance. The valid ranges are 0 to 0.5. If you use 0.5, then VTube-LASER will attempt to lay two stripes per straight. A recommended starting value is 0.025 (40 stripes per straight).

  • If a part does not have MASTER data (like for 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.

Real-time Separation Distance Reported

The measure guide window indicates the current real-time separation distance.
