Starting in 2010, Advanced Tubular raised the bar for tube measuring by using decades of experience to create measuring center software that is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Because VTube-LASER uses laser scanning technology, we were able to take advantage of the strengths of collecting point clouds of surface data.

Every cylinder that is scanned is required to pass a 5-level cylinder test that ensures that the surface points and calculation are excellent before moving to the next scan.

Wobble Deviation: The math engine reports this value to indicate how much potential wobble it expects in deviation in the centerline of the cylinder. The smaller the number, the better.

Cylindricity: This is an actual measurement of the distance between the highest point and the lowest point in the cloud relative to the centerline.

Out-of-round%: Every tube cylinder is out of round. This shows how how much out-of-round the cylinder is. For example 1.5% means that it is 98.5% round.

Near Pass: This shows how near the two 3D lines are when they intersect.

DCF Uncertainty: This splits the odd stripes and the even stripes then calculates two centerline end points for comparison to each other to report what mathematicians call the absolute uncertainty value.
