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. 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.
