NDC Technologies has launched the
Beta LaserMike AccuScan 6012 four-axis
diameter and ovality gauge. Built on the
proven and widely deployed AccuScan
series platform, the new AccuScan 6012 is
claimed to be the industry’s first four-axis
gauge for measuring products up to
12mm.
This advancement enables commu-
nication cable manufacturers to measure
product diameter and ovality with
higher accuracy than two and three-axis
gauges for added quality assurance and
bottom-line savings.
Over the years, manufacturers of
high-performance communication
cables have relied on two and three-axis
diameter and ovality gauges for their
on-line and off-line measurement
applications. Increasing production
line speeds and uncontrollable rotation
and vibration of products still pose
measurement challenges.
The need to precisely measure the
diameter and ovality of cylindrical
round products to ensure they meet
tight design and quality specifications
is of paramount importance to cable
manufacturers. Any error in the diameter
or roundness of the conductor or
insulation in coaxial and twisted-pair
LAN products directly impacts the cable’s
performance characteristics – rendering
it useless for the designed application.
This unusable product ends up being
scrapped, increasing manufacturing costs.
The new Beta LaserMike AccuScan 6012
four-axis gauge solves this problem
by providing a more comprehensive
measurement coverage than two and
three-axis gauges and an ultra-fast scan
rate. This combination of advantages
makes it possible to achieve a more
accurate average outer diameter and
ovality measurement at higher line
speeds and for off-line applications.

Violi Srl has developed a range of drawing
machines for the processing of metal
profiles that includes equipment for
tubes, bars or wires made of ferrous or
non-ferrous metals.
Top of the products is the TRI series, a full
range of hydraulic equipment for the
drawing of tubes or rods with circular cross
section, or complex profile.
The TRI draw benches are fully PLC
controlled for both working phases and
safety protection. The truck carries pliers
which are perfectly aligned with the hole
in order to eliminate any formation of
bending effects on the metal structure.
The speed of the traction is adjustable and
the use of the bench is extremely simple
by using a joystick placed on the control
panel which allows the operator to easily
manage all the steps of the process.
Violi also offers a line of chain draw
benches, the TR series, designed for
the processing of bars and tubes with a
maximum diameter of 12mm. The anchor
pliers, with adjustable jaws, is provided
with a locking system manually managed
by the operator; the return of the draw
lift is electrically controlled. The working
speed can be fixed to one or two levels, or
adjusted by inverter.
The range of products is completed by
subsidiary equipment such as APT series
tapering machines for pipes and bars or
AP series for wires, manual or automatic
spindle unlocking systems and a compact
kit for hydraulic drawing named KTF10,
a compact device for the production of
half-processed pipes or rods ready to be
finished.
