Speed measurement on smooth and fast moving wires
Wires are difficult to measure with tactile devices. Due to the smooth and often oiled surfaces, measuring wheels usually have no chance. Non-contact μSPEED speed measurement systems measure at small wire speeds, as well as at high wire speeds, regardless of diameter and surface condition.
Typical application data:
- Wire speeds: up to 5,000 m / min
- Measurement accuracy with tactile measuring equipment or via drive: only at low speeds
- Measurement accuracy with non-contact length measurement μSPEED: typically 0.03%
- Amortization: 1 months, integration in plant controls via standard interfaces
Measurement / Material Examples:
- Wire, spray wire, wire rope, …
Machines equipped with non-contact length measurement:
- wire drawing machine, wire spooling machine, ..
- Spray wire systems, …
