With 256 dots around the wire at 200,000 images per second, it works on any wire below 2mm diameter, including drawn, plated and enamelled. Fine wire diameter measurement, LDS : For ne wires down to 5µm diameter, high-accuracy measurement for in-line or lab measurement. diameter measurement, LPS-H : Measurement at 20,000 samples per second on each of three axes for diameter, lump and neck down detection, an all-in-one instrument for up to 5mm diameters. bres : A complete line of measurement instruments for full in-line quality certi cation. With more than 500 drawing towers fully equipped with Cersa machinery worldwide and technology at a high level for very high-speed draw-towers, LIS-G, NCTM, CM5 and AIR cover the full need for bre drawing control, from the bare bre (diameter, airline, spinning, defects and accurate tension) to the coating (diameter, lump and neck, bubbles, delamination and coating concentricity). CIM software provides a complete set of tools for production traceability with statistical analysis, spool by spool for in-line quality certi cation and sample by sample for lab control. All these products are the result of customer demands and close cooperation between industry experts and Cersa engineers, to improve in-line continuous production checks for material saving and quality certi cation. Cersa also o ers services (training, maintenance and technical support) to ensure the reliability of products. Cersa-MCI – France Website : www.cersa-mci.com Fine cable high-speed Optical The cable industry is adopting the principles of Industry 4.0, or the “smart factory”. Smart assets are here, and they are becoming smarter. Smart is not just doing things better but doing things di erently. If you continue to do the same things, you will inevitably get the same results. Ali Shehab, CEO of Cimteq, said: “Using smart assets in your factory does not make the factory a smart factory, in the same way that a person using a smartphone does not make the person smart. Cimteq Ltd Booth: 1607

“A smart factory must exhibit the characteristics of communication, adaptability, continuous improvement and collaboration.” Industry 4.0 is not the future: it is here and yielding bene ts for those who adopt its concept. At Interwire, Cimteq’s focus will be on Industry 4.0 and the smart factory. Its experts will be on hand to demonstrate the capabilities of CableBuilder and CableMES.
