TRANSCRIPT
Laservision Capabilities Develops tube coordinates and
bender programs from drawings, sample parts or fixtures
Inspects bent part shapes and corrects for process variables
Stores true (blueprint) data, compensated bend data and bender setup information
Bi-directional communications to Eaton Leonard and other tube benders
Adjusts bender program so part shape meets blueprint specifications
Provides data in mirror image and edit reverse formats.
Takes the guesswork out of adjusting the bender program.
Accommodates parts having shallow bends, deep bends and multiple radii.
Collection of data for SPC Inspects tube fixtures

Measuring Specifications
• Measurement Specifications (in.)
LaserVision Series 5 XP Accuracy Repeatability
Point ± .010 ± .004Point to Point ± .014 ± .008Vectors @ 90° ± .014 ± .014Vectors @ 45° ± .026 ± .026End to End Lengths ± .020 ± .010
Minimum measurable diameter ( with all Laser probes) 0.050”
Mast Assembly
Feature: Heavy Duty Precision Mast Joints With Tapered Roller Bearings.
Rigid design
Benefits: Minimized deflection -
Increased stability results in superior accuracy and repeatability
Mast Assembly (cont’d)
Feature: Direct Drive, High-Resolution Encoders
Benefit: Direct drive provides superior
accuracy and repeatability High resolution encoders provide
highly accurate position reading (A, B & C axis)
High-Resolution Encoders
Laser Probe
Feature: Laser Probe With Visible Red Laser Beam
Benefits: Allows operator to view actual
measurement area on the tube( sleeve, upset, etc).
Advantageous when measuring short straights or to avoid fittings.
Easy to capture end points on the tube.
The part is not touched during the measurement process
Laser Probe (cont’d) Feature: Laser Probe Scanning
Feature Benefits: Scanning technique provides superior
accuracy due to collection of many points taken on each straight section of the tube (up to 100 points max. per each straight)
Compensates for out of round or deformed straight sections
Measured point can be viewed(laser is visible)
Laser probe is also used to measure brackets, flanges and other points (no probe change)
Laser Probe Technology
The Eaton Leonard probe incorporates two opposing narrow fan-shaped beams produced by solid-state laser. This patented scanning technology enables multiple (2 to 100 per straight) points to be acquired along each straight with minimal time & effort.
Highest accuracy is usually obtained by taking between 30 and 70 data points on each straight length.
Scan time per straight: 2 to 3 seconds. Provides reduced operator variability.
Laser Probe Technology Advantages
One probe can accommodate a greater range of diameters
Measurement is not sensitive to hand (skew) movements
Ability to measure up to 100 data points on each straight length for superior collection of information and superior accuracy
The same probe is used to measure the tube shape, as well as components on the tube.
Electronics
Feature: Pentium Computer with Windows XP Software
Benefits:
Fast data processing Ability to network system
Electronics (cont’d)
Feature: Flat Panel LCD Display Screen Benefits: High resolution provides excellent graphics Swivel design allows operator to position
monitor at optimum location Built-in touch screen provides direct touch
without parallax.
Software
Feature: Menu Driven Touch Screen Operation
Benefits: Prompts operator through the
entire process Simplified operation with large
clear graphics
Software (cont’d)
Feature: Operation By Bender Number
Benefits: Easy use for multiple operators The control recalls the last operation
by each user instead of each operator remembering what he was doing.
Accommodates up to 30 operators.
Options
Laser Probes – 2”, 3” & 6” T.O.D.
Contact Probes – Ball & probe for fixture
Auto-Frettage Compensation
Options (cont’d)
Feature: 2” T.O.D. Laser Probe
Benefits: Compact size enables non-
contact measurement of more intricate part shapes.
Same probe mount and measurement technique as the standard 3” laser probe.
Options (cont’d)
Feature: 6” T.O.D. Laser Probe
Benefits: Larger size enables non-
contact measurement of duct and larger structural part shapes.
Same probe mount and measurement technique as the standard 3” laser probe.
Options (cont’d)
Feature: Accuracy Verification Fixture
Benefits: Allows customer to
periodically verify probe and machine capability.
Verifies measuring/inspection capability to other end users of tubular parts.
Options (cont’d)
Feature: Auto-Frettage
Measure & Compensation
Benefits: Enables automatic bend program adjustment to
compensate for subsequent pressure test & stress relief operations.
Advantages /Conclusions
The LaserVision XP offers superior accuracy and repeatability for tube measurement.
The LaserVision is the system best suited to the tube forming industry.
The LaserVision is the more productive system. Ease of use, minimal operator skill level, and minimum time to measure tubes are tangible assets.
Advantages /Conclusions
When interfaced with an Eaton Leonard CNC tube bender, the Vector 1 Series 5 XP converges on the optimum part shape in less time.
Since Eaton Leonard designs and manufactures both the bender and tube data center, the interface offers faster and more accurate data correction and processing. Springback calculations of the Vectorsystem are superior versus competitive bender/inspection center combinations.
