Beta LaserMike debuted its new LayScan measurement
system at the Interwire 2011 Trade Exposition in Atlanta,
Georgia.
The LayScan system (patent pending) accurately and
consistently measures the lay length of twisted pairs used
in telecommunication cables.
The system uses optical, non-contact measurement
technology to perform on-line, high-speed lay length
measurements with the highest precision to within 1mm.
Providing high-data rate capabilities, LayScan precisely
determines the variations in lay length within each lay.
Systematic lay variations that are typically caused by
twinning and cabling operations can be readily observed
and measured.
A data acquisition system effectively collects and
processes the lay length data, and reports the
measurement results.
Beta LaserMike’s LayScan measurement system delivers
many benefits to cable manufacturers:
Improves product performance by better controlling
lay lengths and delivering a higher level of cross-talk
performance.
Minimises product cost and scrap by optimising the lay
set and provides the ability to consistently control lay
lengths over time.
Reduces the product development cycle through precise
measurements of lay length values during design trials
and experiments.
Allows standardised pair lays across various twinning
systems and reduces the need to limit production
scheduling to qualified equipment.
