Length Measurement of Umbilical/Submarine Cables and Ropes

Slip-free measurement of wet, soiled, stranded surfaces

Wet and dirty umbilical / submarine cables as well as rough stranded ropes and cables can best be measured with non-contact methods. With sufficiently good material guidance, μSPEED systems achieve consistently high measurement accuracies.

Typical application data:

  • Material speed: typically up to 150m / min
  • Measurement accuracy with tactile measuring equipment or via drive: typically 5%
  • Measurement accuracy with non-contact length measurement μSPEED: typically 0.05%
  • Amortization: 2 months, direct encoder replacement, sufficient material guidance necessary

Material examples:

  • umbilical , submarine cable, power cable, data cable, …
  • Ropes, rope material

Machines equipped with non-contact length measurement:

  • umbilical / submarine cable laying machines, cable winding machines, cable laying ships, cable laying …
  • stranding machine, rope winding machine, cable winding machine, …
