Some Key Features of VTube-LASER
Benefit 1 - Super Quick Project SetupOther measurement programs are often more generic in their approach to geometry. In order to measure a tube, it is necessary to build up individual elements and create a script for the process. |
Benefit 2 - Built-in Automated Process for Measuring TubesYou don't have to guess at the order of the steps to measure a tube. When you measure a tube with VTube, the methods for gathering the information and calculating the centerline, intersection points, and bend data are preprogrammed as a series of consistent steps that never change and never have to be scripted. |
Benefit 3 - Built in Feedback to Increase Confidence in the DataVTube-LASER has special procedures that help anticipate the level of confidence you will have in the incoming data. There are series of crosschecks just for measuring tubing, both mathematical and on-screen, that allow users to know if the data is good. |
Benefit 4 - Built-in Bender CorrectionVTube-LASER knows how to correct benders - and has special menus and procedures for doing that well. |
