In practice, there are uneven surfaces, holes, joints and seams that lead to singular measurement failures and things that cause dirt built up or wear of measuring wheels and thus to permanent measurement errors.<\/p>\n<p>This is where a measuring wheel reaches its limits.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of the submarine cables shown, each metre costs up to \u20ac1,000. The images (which were taken after only a few hours of operation) suggest that measuring wheels cannot be used to take accurate measurements here.<\/p>\n<p>Ask us about our non-contact laser encoders!<\/p>\n<p><strong>System informationen:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elovis.com\/en\/products\/laser-encoder-length-measurement-and-speed-measurement-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Laser-Encoder with accessories:<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>ELOVIS offers for this area of application:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;
