FARO CAM2 software for measuring prismatic shapes. It is used by tube fabrication customers on FARO arms along with VTube-LASER to measure components around tube shapes.

Customers measure tube shapes quickly with VTube-LASER with the laser scanner, then output parametric tube data to CAM2.

CAM2 Measure 10 and VTube-LASER Working Together

Cam2measure10box.jpg
This version of CAM2 software released in 2011 (See FARO news release).

Measure Tubes with VTube then Export to CAM2 Files

Since year 2010, FARO has started selling VTube-LASER as a quicker method of tube measuring. (FARO is the exclusive distributor for VTube-LASER in North and South America.)

General Workflow for VTube to CAM2

The workflow process is to scan a tube with VTube, then continue with measuring components around the tube in CAM2. The method is to leave the tube in the same location when measuring in the two programs. The correct position in space is transferred into CAM2 Measure 10 as long as the tube is not moved.

Export as Parametric Tubes

VTube-LASER exports CAM2 Measure 10 parametric tube files for measuring brackets and components around the tube. Both the MASTER and the MEASURED tube shapes can be exported in the FILE tab sub-menus for each tube centerline.

The XYZ grid popup menus also allow for output to CAM2 files.

Importing to CAM2 Measure 10

Use the Import/Export option in the File pulldown menu to import the CAM2 file that VTube builds.

The tube shapes can be imported into CAM2 as NOMINAL (VTube MASTER), or ACTUAL (VTube MEASURED).

CAM2Q and VTube-LASER Working Together

Cam2qlogo.jpg
This version of CAM2 software released in 2008 (See FARO news release).

This version imports the same data file as the CAM2 Measure 10 package.

Importing to CAM2Q

Use the Import pull-down menu, then select the Tube option to import the CAM2 file that VTube builds.

The tube shapes can be imported into CAM2 as NOMINAL (VTube MASTER), or ACTUAL (VTube MEASURED).

CAM2 Measure X - (released about 2005)

Cam2measurex.jpg
CAM2 Measure X1 was released in 2005 (See FARO news release).

It can output text files for communication with our Benderlink for FARO software.

Communications between CAM2 Measure X and benders is through the EXPORT - XYZ - TXT feature to Benderlink for FARO software.
