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. |
|
CAM2 Measure 10 and VTube-LASER Working Together
|
Measure Tubes with VTube then Export to CAM2 FilesSince 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 CAM2The 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. |
|
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
|
Importing to CAM2QUse 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)
|
|
|
Communications between CAM2 Measure X and benders is through the EXPORT - XYZ - TXT feature to Benderlink for FARO software. |
