Measuring Square and Rectangular Tubes with VTube-LASER

VTube-LASER can measure square and rectangular tubing with the ball probe or laser probe.

  • FILLET EDGE DETECTION:The laser scanning feature includes edge detection in order to remove the fillet from the plane calculations. In this image, see how VTube detects edge fillets and removes them automatically from the calculation of the planes.

  • TRUE CENTERLINE LOCATION: The process and logic automatically calculates the location of the centerline from the true surface data. The nominal width data is not needed to find the centerline.

Measuring Center Adapter for ROMER, DOCS, Supravision

ROMER DOCS and Supravision software packages use non-contact infrared probes (sensors) that can measure tube, pipe, or rod that are bent. Customers sometimes ask if rectangular or square tube can be measured using the same non-contact sensors. This is the method recommended by Romer:

In order to simulate a cylindrical shape, it is necessary to change the shape of the square or rectangular tube using an adapter that is designed as shown in this image.

This device allows the measuring center to find the centerline of the tube shape just as if it were a cylindrical tube.		 Measuring center square adapter.jpg
