Revision 1.56

Back to VTube-LASER

VTube now uses standard springback-compensation variables in the Part Setup menu. Here are some points about the feature:

• The fixed springback value is a degree value added to every bend.
  
  
• The proportional springback value is a percentage multiplied against every bend.
  
  
• The values are used to anticipate springback of material in bending and compensate by over bending if necessary during correction.
• The values are always used automatically in the Bender Setup menu. (See below for more details).

• If the values are ZERO, then they are effectively switched off.
  
  
• The values can be calculated using the Advanced Tubular Technologies Overbend Calculator.

The Bender Setup menu now includes columns for springback adjustment calculations where you can view how much the part is changed by the springback values.

These values are automatically calculated in this menu from the Part Setup "Fixed" and "Proportional" Springback values.

The Measure Setup program is condensed because the Straight Count setting has been moved to the Measure Process menu for consistency.

This version fixes a bug found in version 1.54 where the Measured XYZ data may not update after a measure.

Please be sure to use this version rather than v1.54.

New features were added to prevent unnecessary errors/warnings from displaying for parts that align too closely with the master part.
