each lay length and allows off-line analysis tools such as trend charts, statistical analysis or FFT analysis to readily observe, measure and report systematic lay variations. The LayScan system measures lay lengths up to 25.4mm at speeds up to 152.4m/min with 0.025mm accuracy. EFL measurement system: Beta LaserMike’s latest EFL measurement system enables manufacturers to efficiently, accurately and reliably produce loose tube fibre and fibre ribbon cable. It does this by effectively controlling the excess fibre length to make sure the fibre-to-jacket ratio of product meets exact production specifications. This eliminates time-consuming and costly techniques such as cutting cable, and exposing and cleaning cable fibres to measure product and calculate the excess fibre length-to-jacket ratio. The EFL measurement system integrates Beta LaserMike’s LaserSpeed ® length and speed gauges and EFLTrak™ software. In addition to its in-process measurement systems, Beta LaserMike will present its line of DCM automated cable testing solutions. The company offers both bench-top and fully integrated turnkey solutions for accurately and reliably testing LAN/data, telecom, coaxial, and aerospace/defence cables. DCM cable testing systems enable cable makers to test more cable faster for higher quality results.

product waste. The STAC (stranded, twisted, armoured and corrugated) logic software option provides accurate max/ min OD or enveloped readings at a higher rate, allowing for faster process control of complex cable constructions. AccuScan gauges effectively measure transparent, translucent and opaque products up to 80mm in diameter. All gauges offer highly flexible communications including RS-232, Ethernet/IP, Ethernet TCP/IP, DeviceNet, Profibus, Profinet, CANOpen, analogue and digital. LN30403-axis lumpandneckdowndetector: The new LN3040 quickly and reliably spots product flaws before they become costly production problems. Fast-sensing and processing technology instantly detects sudden changes in the product diameter to effectively catch the smallest of flaws. The LN3040 measures product diameters up to 40mm and detects flaw height down to 0.05mm at line speeds up to 3,000m/min. It is designed with a user-friendly operator interface, accepts a range of inputs, and provides highly flexible communications such as RS-232, Ethernet/IP, DeviceNet, Profibus, and Profinet. LayScan lay length measurement system: The latest version of LayScan solves scrap, costly rework, and productivity loss problems due to manual, time-consuming lay length measurement methods and crosstalk performance issues from lay variations. LayScan enables manufacturers to simultaneously measure four pairs at the cabler and twinner to confirm the accuracy of twisted-pair cable construction during production. A data acquisition and control system effectively collects and processes
