VTube-LASER now supports the MicroScribe arms with the ball probes. These arms measure smaller parts and are therefore less expensive than larger arm solutions.

The same issues that affected the Split Bend logic also affected the Bend Profile logic.

This has been repaired in this version.

A customer discovered a rare end trim condition that we were able to reproduce and fix. The issue occurred when end trim stripes were captured both near the end and near the first or last bend. This confused the end trim logic. The logic has been completely redesigned to not only overcome this issue - but to find the end-trim even faster than before.

Our tests also showed that, with this new logic, the end-scan technique is not as important as it was in previous versions. The key is to be sure that the END WALL is the furthest point out in an end scan.

See the image on the right for an example. Using this kind of scan - with lots of points along the diameter, we were able to consistently find the end of this tube within a few thousandths every time.

• A bug was discovered for saving the Default Project file where some of values recently changed would not be stored in the default setup. This is fixed.
  
  
• (Build 109) - The Bender Data Setup window bender number was always reset to 1 whenever the measured tube was created. This has been fixed so that the previously selected bender is remembered and displayed.
