VTube-LASER Advantages

Advantages Back to VTube-LASER Back to VTube-STEP

1. FASTEST SETUP IN THE INDUSTRY Customers choose VTube-LASER because it is easier to setup and run. Customers who have performed extensive comparisons are often surprised at the ease of VTube setup. 2. 180 DEGREE SPLIT BEND MEASUREMENT We developed the unique split-bend process that accurately measures bends equal to and exceeding 180 degree bends using math based on point-cloud data from the apex of the bend. No other tube measuring center offers this feature. 3. BEND DATA COMPRESSION Only VTube-LASER knows how to combine bends in the bender data at split bends into single bends because that is how the bender uses them. 4. IMPORT SOLID TUBE MODELS Only VTube-LASER can import solid model STEP and IGES files well because the VTube-LASER platform is based on the VTube-STEP software platform. This software lets you find the centerline of any solid model tube. 5. UNLIMITED BENDER COUNT Only VTube-LASER includes communication with up to 100 benders at no additional license charge if the protocol is "Supravision Network." 6. WOBBLE DEVIATION and WARNING WINDOWS VTube-LASER gives more real-time feedback in cylinder fit windows. For example, it shows what we call “wobble deviation” for each cylinder fit during the measure of each cylinder, helping operators determine the quality of cylinder scans in real-time. 7. SINGLE LASER PROBE for ALL TUBE DIAMETERS Only VTube-LASER can measure ANY diameter – from a paper clip diameter up to 300 millimeters or greater – all with the same laser probe. Other systems require probe changes, or require that you remove the ball probe if you use the scanner. 8. TWO PROBES IN ONE Only VTube-LASER uses the FARO ScanArm capability to measure a tube using either the ball probe or the laser probe – in the same tube. This feature lets you alternate measuring technique depending on what works best at the moment. 9. BETTER VISUAL FEEDBACK Only VTube-LASER shows you the actual model of the scanned points on the screen immediately after the scan. This allows the operator to visually verify that the scan was good before moving to the next straight or end. 10. TEMPERATURE COMPENSATED ARM Only the FaroArm senses the temperature of the arm in the joints and then compensates its output based on that temperature. 11. EXTENSIVE WEB-BASED KNOWLEDGEBASE VTube-LASER’s support and information in our knowledgebase web pages is unmatched with thousands of pages of searchable information, tutorials, and video guides..
