Revision 2.3

• Back to VTube-STEP
• Back to VTube-STEP Revisions
• Back to VTube Software Updates (for LASER Mode)
• Back to VTube-LASER

Both VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER now have Springback-Compensated grids in the Tube data, Master Tube data, and the Measured Tube data menus.

The new grids have popup menus that allow you to copy any part of the grid.

VTube-STEP now allows each bend to have a unique tube elongation percentage - which is used to calculate correct CUT LENGTHS and UNBENDING LENGTHS

Use the popup menus in either the PART SETUP or the XYZ grids to get to the setup window.



A new checkbox is added at the bottom of Part Setup to allow this feature to be activated.



If the checkbox is unchecked, then the single Tube Elongation % value is used to calculate elongation for all bends.

When VTube-STEP calculated springback into bender values, it incorrectly doubled the springback values. This has been repaired.

In previous versions it was not optional. We discovered that some benders add their own springback if VTube sends the springback fixed and proportional values. In those cases, it is important to not also calculate springback in the LRA being sent to the bender.
