Surface and diameter independent length measurement
Length measurement of cable and flat cable is done in many different applications. For example, already in production, in sheathing lines after extrusion or the stranding line, or during rewinding and assembly, i.e. length cutting. Due to the high raw material prices, the ordered sales lengths must be adhered to as precisely as possible. Too short cable lengths or wire lengths result in complaints. Too long lengths are a drain on the sales margin. The µSPEED non-contact laser encoder systems provide maximum accuracy, reliability and longevity. All materials and surface qualities are measured, starting from a diameter of approx. 0.2 mm.
Typical application data:
- Length measurement of insulated cables, bare cables, wires of small and large diameters
- Path speeds: up to approx. 2,500 m/min (rarely higher)
Measuring accuracy with tactile measuring equipment or via drive: typically 1 – 2 %. - Measuring accuracy with non-contact length measurement µSPEED: typically: 0.03 %
- Amortization: 1 month, direct encoder replacement, no other modifications necessary
