INDEXproduct 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
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.
