LaserLinc’s accurate and adaptable
non-contact laser and ultrasonic systems
measure OD, ID, wall, eccentricity and
concentricity for the wire, cable and bre
industries.
High-speed three-axis laser gauging
for ovality and aw detection, plus
features such as FFT and SRL prediction,
help reduce scrap, increase production
e ciency, and improve quality.
The UltraGauge+™ ultrasonic wall
thickness measurement system uses
hardened stainless steel xtures
designed to withstand harsh wire and
cable manufacturing environments, and
UltraLock™ Auto Setup provides automatic
con guration.
Gauges operate via PC-based Total Vu™
software. Total Vu gives you a complete
audit trail of the process, including aw
reporting, SPC charts, and Excel-based
user-designed reports. You also get
real-time analysis, with run and trend
charts, graphical cross-section display,
and measurements in con gurable,
easy-to-read panels. Other features include
in-process tolerance checking, feedback
control and recipes.
Laser gauges measure diameters from
0.035mm (0.0014") to 120mm (4.7"), and
feature compact models and the highest
measurement rates available. With the
UltraGauge+, you can measure wall
thickness at up to eight positions with up
to 2,000 measurements per second.
