IMPROVED: Best Fit - Automatic End Weight Version 2 - Tighter and Faster Alignments

We're always happy to give you a feature that does more - and does more FASTER than before. This is one of those features. Version 2 of the Best Fit engine aligns tube shapes faster and tighter than the original. For example, a 25 second alignment is now made in 20 seconds, and a 0.013" average deviation might drop to an average of 0.009". Version 1 was very good at tight alignments as the measured tube shape started to conform more to the master tube shape. However, version 2 creates a tighter fit faster - and handles shapes that are further from the master shape much better than version 1. The two alignments shown here are the results of the two versions of alignments in version 2.5 using the same master/measured data. When qualifications are on the edge of the tolerance, then this extra tight alignment can pay dividends. We optimized the code for better speed and logic, then added extra logic that gives more emphasis to increasing the NUMBER of TANGENT and MIDPOINT CELLS that are within tolerance. (Where version 1 gives emphasis to overall deviation average - and it only considered tangent point deviations, we've found benefit in considering MIDPOINT deviations in version 2.) All of this creates tighter and faster logic for alignment. Note: We understand that some customers are very careful when approving new part alignment algorithms - so we were careful to leave the original version Best Fit option in the VTube Inspection Results menu to give you time to learn to trust and use Best Fit version 2.
