Check.jpgNEW - Scan and Measure Point Clouds

VTube-LASER now handles point clouds in storage we call "buckets." This allows you to scan anything into VTube-LASER - not just tubes.

With this feature:

  • Scan point clouds into list of point cloud buckets using the LASER scanner.
  • Turn buckets of points on our off.
  • Select points on the screen then press DELETE to delete them from the buckets.
  • Measure the distance between any two points.
  • Transfer the point clouds into SOLIDWORKS.
  • Transfer the point clouds into an ASCII file for use in any other program.
  • Point clouds are stored and recalled to/from the VTube-LASER project file.
  • Point cloud changes are stored in the UNDO memory. If you delete the wrong set of points - just press UNDO.
  • Set the color of each bucket of point clouds.

Check.jpgNEW - Automatic Reset Straight Count at Measure

If VTube-LASER starts a measure setup with ZERO straights, then it automatically resets to the MASTER straight count.

Check.jpgNEW - MAX Points for Cylinder Stripes Is Now 50

Through some experimentation, any point count above 50 per stripe is not helpful in VTube-LASER. For example, as you approach 1000 points per stripe, it slows the math engine significantly and actually causes more Cylinder Fit problems than it solves.

VTube-LASER will now allow up to 50 points per stripe for measuring cylinders - never more.

Check.jpgFIX - Split Bend Corrections in Bend Setup (Important fix for 180-degree bend correction)

The Split Bend corrections (for a 180-degree bend) were being applied in Bender Setup in the uncompressed mode - which means that only half the correction was being applied to 180-degree bends.

Also, the wrong number of rows was sent to Bender Setup - which meant that correction data was not properly aligned with the data at the bender. For example, for a single 180-degree bend part, there should only be two correction rows. However, VTube was sending three rows of data for two 90-degree bends.

This has been fixed in this version.

See the resulting correction data grid in the Bender Setup screen below the image.

Check.jpgNEW- Auto Disconnect When Driver is Busy

When the FARO driver is busy with other connections (like to CAM2), VTube-LASER would give an error then shutdown.

Now VTube-LASER closes the connection to the FARO arm and displays a message with a sound to let you know that the connection is closed.
