Revision 1.66

Back to VTube-LASER

VTube now tracks if the project has changed and needs to be saved before opening a new project or closing the software.

The new Bend Angle Transfer menu allows VTube to correct bends while still in the bender.

• The bender forms a bend. This menu is loaded from the Data Transfer menu in VTube-LASER.
  
• The clamp opens and the bender pauses.
  
• The operator moves the FARO arm next to the bender and measures the single bend.
  
• The bend angle is transferred to the Bend Angle Transfer menu.
  
• The bend angle is sent to the bender control.
  
• The bender control uses the data to close the clamp and adjust the bend angle.
  

The process is continued until the bend angle is within tolerance. The workflow is identical to measuring a single bend off the bender.

A new bender chart was added to the report template to include the bender data + corrections chart

The Report Preview menu now allows you to change the printer and the paper orientation before printing.

The Laser probe grid now has a separate checkbox for automatically enabling either laser or tactile measuring for radius stripe scans.

The Scan Rate grid now has a separate controls for radius stripe scans.

• A bug was found and removed from the MOVE command.
  
  
• The System Options menu allows you to browse directly into support folders from inside VTube-LASER.
  
  
• VTube-LASER now uses the "All Users" or "ProgramData" folders to store configuration data for all users of the FARO computer. This solves problems for companies that require that each user login to Windows with their own permissions setup.
  
  
• The Winton Machinery bender protocol was enhanced so that it automatically loads a template if no data is present in memory when an operator is ready to send data to the bender.
  
  

• No known issues
