MAJOR IMPROVEMENT FOR SCANNING - AUTOMATIC Laser Separation Improves Laser Scanning Signifcantly
The new Automatic Laser Separation method allows VTube-LASER to automatically control the UniScan separation distance between laser stripes based on the known individual tube lengths in the MASTER data. The result is a much improved experience when UniScan scanning tubes with straight lengths that vary much. See the VTube-LASER UniScan Automatic Laser Separation Tutorial for more information. |
MAJOR IMPROVEMENT FOR BENDER CORRECTION - Bender Setup Window CORRECTION DATA MAPPING Adds Extreme Flexibility to Corrections
If you have to skip rows in bender setup data for avoidance moves, then this feature is important for you.
|
NEW - Move Bend Setup BLUE COLUMN Data Up or Down
Use this feature combined with Correction Data Mapping to skip rows for avoidance moves.
|
NEW (in STEP mode) - Selection Inversion Method Helps Select Parts in an Assembly
Selection inversion makes selecting parts from inside an assembly much easier. |
NEW - BLM CMM Communications Protocol
This protocol allows you to correct BLM benders using the BLM CMM protocol. This is now the recommended protocol for use with BLM benders. |
NEW - COMCO CSV Communications Protocol
This protocol allows you to correct COMCO benders through the CSV file import and export. |
NEW - OMCG SVNET Communications Protocol
This protocol allows you to correct OMCG benders. |
NEW - Now VTube has THREE Default Radii
Radius 1, Radius 2, and Radius 3 are now available in Part Setup. |
FIX - The Taskbar Icon Now Displays
VTube-LASER users discovered that the taskbar icon did not always display. This has been fixed. |
Other Changes
- NEW - A new button in Tube Data Storage allows you to copy only the MEASURED back into main memory.
- NEW - Autobuild Parametrics now calculates the CUT LENGTH automatically in VTube-STEP.
