for wall thickness; BenchLinc™ series off-line sample inspection systems; and Metron™ automated off-line inspection systems for long cylindrical parts. LaserLinc’s Total Vu HMI for process visu alisation is open, adaptable architecture software that enables LaserLinc gauges, as well as those from other vendors, to be connected for comprehensive product and process monitoring, display, control and reporting.

One of the company’s bestselling machine technologies is the No Twist Coiler (NTC). This machine is designed to enhance and accelerate wire drawing and uncoiling processes with a unique coiling technique that has been developed since the 1990s. The NTC not only has unlimited speed capabilities, but also produces perfect pattern-laid coils of up to 4.5 tons in inverted carriers. The system allows for power savings when the inverted carriers are used as payoff in the next production step, and offers convenient shipping options to end consumers. Due to the twist-free and straight wire, every metre can be used, resulting in less scrap and overall higher productivity and efficiency. The NTC accommodates wire diameters from 0.3 to 14mm.
