The Nominals must be editable.

Holger 6 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by neil kay 4 years ago 1

When evaluating distances and angles, the nominal value should be editable. 

In the current versions of TS, the setpoints are read from the pipe data and are not to be changed separate and manually.

Make tubeshaper software suitable for bending machines Schwarze Robitec and Wafios! We have troubles for so long now with the fact that everything is mirrored!

Probe the intersection point between two straights with a small angle

Abel Méndez 5 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by anthony vianna 3 years ago 1

I would like that existed an option to be able to probe manually the intersection point between two straights that form a small angle (5 degrees, for example).

This option was implemented in Docs or GTube.

I would like to be able to import measured values from external files

Liviu 5 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by neil kay 4 years ago 0

In TubeShaper we can export nominal or measured values, as CAD or as Supravision/Centerline files.

I would like to be able to import the measured values (as iges/supravision/etc... the best format you can find:) ) in order to have the opportunity of an off-line evaluation.

This can be used even in the condition that the measured files were generated from other software.

Recall Bend Data from Bend Controller to Tubeshaper

trung van 6 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by neil kay 4 years ago 0

Add the ability to have the Bend Controller send "corrected data" to Tubeshaper and updating the CLRA fields only.  Currently as it is, sending corrected data to Tubeshaper replaces the nominal "LRA", which we want to inspect to.

Seperate Tolerance for each Straight or Point

Holger 6 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by NSF_TUN 3 years ago 3

Tolerances should be able to be entered separately for each intersection and for each Straight.    The overall tolerance does not always meet the specification,

especially for pipes with holders and connections.

Tube from Zylinders by Clicking the Cylinder in the View.

Holger 6 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by neil kay 4 years ago 1

The design of pipes over CAD or measured cylinders should be possible by clicking on the  cylinders and entering the bending radius.             

Currently, this is only possible through the tedious calculation of the intersection points and the rebuilding of a pipe.

Zero Point Alignment / Offset of the Zero Point

Holger 6 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by neil kay 4 years ago 2

When we do the Alignement with Plane Line Point, 

the Point should be Zero in XYZ.

LRA corrections

rtomsu 6 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by Lasse Viinikainen 3 years ago 6

We would like to have a possibility to see corrections of measured LRA in report. That means opposite values of deviations. For example when your nominal value of a bend is 90 and you measured that the reality is 91.5, the deviation is 1.5. But we would like to see the value of -1.5. We dont use automatic corrections for benders because our benders are not capable of this. We need to write corrections manually  so we need values in this form.
