5. 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

6. Mast Assembly (cont’d)
High-Resolution Encoders
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)

7. 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

8. 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)

9. 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.

10. 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.

22. 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.

23. 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.

24. Eaton Leonard is continuing to develop the best technology for tube measurement and will continue to be attentive to your requests in the future
