Quality monitor

NDC Technologies’ Beta LaserMike CenterScan 2010 gauge is designed for accurate monitoring of the diameter of insulated wire and cable, and monitoring eccentricity of conductors within the insulation during the extrusion and insulation processes. If the core of insulated wire and cable moves off center, and continues uncorrected, then out-of-tolerance wire or cable leaves manufacturers with reels of unusable product. The CenterScan 2010 gauge solves this problem by using highly sensitive magnetic and optical technology to precisely determine the location of the conductor within the insulation. This non- contact measurement system performs eccentricity, diameter, wall thickness

and flaw detection measurements in one gauge head.

The compact CenterScan 2010 is said to be easily integrated into existing production environments. It has the advantage of high noise immunity, allowing for closer placement to line devices, and an optional ultra-bright display gives simple access to viewing and configuration of the gauge functions. CenterScan 2010 will measure diameters from 0.1 to 10mm (0.004 to 0.4″) and determines eccentricity and diameter with ±0.0005mm (±0.00002″) accuracy. Its typical applications will include LAN, RF, coaxial, mini coaxial, telephone, automotive and installation wire and cable.
