Eaton Leonard originated the tube data center concept and has now advanced this system with two models in order to meet our customers' most exacting needs. Tube data centers available include the refined Vector 1 Series 5 XL and the Laservision Optima XP. Both models incorporate Eaton Leonard's patented non-contact laser probe for highly accurate tube, pipe and wire measurement and inspection. This design is unique in tube measurement since the entire inspection process is performed optically using visible spectrum lasers.

Vector Series tube data centers are extremely powerful when interfaced to tube benders to produce a closed loop inspection and correction system. Any deviations between the bent part shape and the true geometry are automatically converted to incremental, corrective bending machine movements. In addition, through the Eaton Leonard interface system the Vector 1 transmits all pertinent bender corrections and setup data.

Vector Tube Data Center Features

• Compact laser probe with non-contact scanning measurement for superior accuracy
• Visible spectrum laser projects a red beam on the tube for visual location feedback
• On-screen 3D graphic inspection reports display out-of-tolerance conditions
• Bidirectional communications with Eaton Leonard automatic tube benders reduce set-up time and create a closed loop system with self- correcting capabilities
