Precision, speed and length
measurements are critical for
optimisation of continuous or quasi-
continuous production processes.
Proper utilisation of these
measurements can lead to lower
production costs and higher product
quality. The ideal sensor must
exceed traditional contact encoder
performance, increasing reliability
and accuracy while minimising
maintenance requirements and
material yield.
The LSV Laser Surface Velocimeters
have been designed as the ideal next
generation sensors for non-contact
length and speed measurement. They
provide precise length and velocity data
quickly and reliably for both process
control and cut-to-length applications.
The LSV 1000/2000 measure reliably
on almost any solid surface, whether
controlling processes utilising carbon
steel, shiny aluminium or oily sheets,
producing round wire and cable, or
manufacturing paper, cardboard or
tissue.
Benefits and main features:
• Zero speed, direction detection
(model LSV 2000 only)
• Reduced operating and maintenance
costs
• Attractive ROI, fast payback
• All-in-one system, easy integration
into production processes and control
environments
• Easy to operate and no re-calibration
required
• Visible laser for easy alignment in the
field
• Robust sensor technology for
reliable operation even under harsh
conditions, protection classes IP 66
and IP 67
• Fast, state-of-the-art signal proces-
sor with powerful command set for
efficient system communication via
serial or Ethernet interface
• Includes two trigger inputs for
additional light barriers or optical
switches for high precision edge
detection and offset length
compensation
• Hardware status signals for remote
diagnostic functions available
• User-selectable full quadrature pulse
output and interfacing as LAN and RS

High quality for UK
market
Since its formation in 1992, Rowan
Cable Products has prided itself on
the supply of high quality copper
and aluminium wire to the UK cable
market.
In an ever-changing market, Rowan
has diversified from its roots as a
stockist of these products into the
leading integrated manufacture of
copper conductors, from drawn
single wire, to bunch, strand and
braid.
Its accreditation to major railway
and utilities companies enables
expansion into this vast market,
aided by investment in stranders
capable of producing multi-wire
diameters up to 20mm or 300mm
cross section, in copper, aluminium
or phosphor bronze wire.
Rowan’s close relationship with
client companies in the field also
enables it to offer completed
cables to all international norms by
supplying the cores to accredited
extruders and finishers.
Its extensive braiding facilities
serve a range of industries through
wholesale outlets and direct
supply, in coil and in terminated
conductors. Over braiding of
cables and high pressure hoses in
wire, cottons, Kevlar™ and fibre
glass, allied to a quick turnaround
of free issue cores, is invaluable
to many customers, in fields as
diverse as lighting, racing cars and
the atomic energy industry.
The company has extended its
service to the cable industry
by supplying accurately wound
material, single- or multi-end, on
customers, preferred bobbins,
or by short runs of fine bunch or
concentric strand.
Cutting and straightening lines
assist with modelling armatures for
prominent filmmakers through to
spark erosion electrodes.
