How to perform quick scissor motion end-scans.

• Back to VTube-LASER

This end-scan method is useful for ease-of-use and quickness.

Please keep in mind that our tests show that it is the least precise of the techniques that we recommend.

We also recommend the End-Scan Using the End Wall technique and the most precise End-Scan Using End Targets.

• Set System Options, Measure 2 Tab, "Maximum Number of LLP Points in String" to 3
• Set Measure Setup - LASER Tab: The LASER defaults to ON for CYLINDERS and END-SCANS.
• Set Measure Setup - LASER Tab: Cylinder stripes = 3 to 5
• Set Measure Setup - LASER Tab: End-scan stripes = 5
• Set Measure Setup - LASER Tab: Split bend stripes = 5
• Set Measure Setup = Scan Rates Tab: Set all rates to TIMER for all scan types.
• Set Measure Setup = Scan Rates Tab: Set the Scan Rates TIMER is set to 0 for all TIMERS.

• Align the scanner with a slight scissor angle across the end as is shown in the image on the right
  
  
• Hold the probe still.
  
  
• Press the green button until VTube-LASER is finished scanning all the end stripes.
  
  

• Holding the probe motionless during scanning is important. If you move the probe during scanning the end, then repeatability will drop significantly.
  
  
• Likewise, striking the same end location is important during each repeat measure.
