Correcting a Bender
|
You can see the deviation in this part. The transparent yellow tolerance envelopes indicate that the part is outside of the deviation tolerance allowed (in this case 0.039" or 1 mm). |
|
BENDER SETUP Window
|
VTube-LASER uses the Bender Setup screen to control the values in up to 100 connected benders.
|
|
"Setup the Bender" - FOR SENDING NEW DATA
|
Use the "SETUP THE BENDER" section on the right to send new data. |
|
"Bidirectional Communication" - FOR CORRECTIONS
|
With the right protocol at the bender, VTube-LASER can recall data from the bender, and send both setup and correction data to the bender.*
* Not all protocols require a RECALL before sending CORRECTIONS. |
|
Correction Damping
|
VTube-LASER uses a unique correction damping feature for situations were corrections tend to over correct. |
