Slip-free measurement of braided and stranded surfaces
Measurement of rope lengths in the stranding machine by means of non-contact laser-encoders. Accurate measurement despite uneven and coarsely stranded or braided surfaces. Measuring diameters from 1mm to 250mm (or more). The measurement with the ELOVIS laser-encoder is almost independent of material, permanently accurate and can not be beat with touching methods.
Typical application data:
- Material speed: typically up to 150 m/min
- Measuring accuracy with tactile measuring equipment or via drive: typically 5%
- Measuring accuracy with non-contact length measurement μSPEED: typical: 0.1%
- Amortization: 2 months, direct encoder replacement, sufficient material guidance necessary
Material examples:
- Ropes, Climbing ropes, Vessel Ropes…
- Submarine cable, power cable, data cable…
Machines equipped with non-contact length measurement:
- Stranding machine, rope winding machine, rope winding machine, braiding machine…
- Submarine cable laying machines, cable winding machines, cable laying ships…
