Beta LaserMike will exhibit its
latest CenterScan 2010 eccentricity
measurement system for wire and
cable at the Interwire 2011 Trade
Exposition, 3rd-5th May at booth
732 at the Georgia World Congress
Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
Beta LaserMike’s CenterScan 2010
measurement system uses highly
sensitive magnetic and optical
technology to precisely determine
the location of the conductor and
insulated wire.
This information is instantly
processed to provide
eccentricity, diameter, and ovality
measurements, as well as detect
product flaws. CenterScan 2010
can reliably measure diameters
from 0.1 to 10mm (0.004" to
0.4") and determine eccentricity
and diameter with +0.0005mm
(+0.00002") accuracy.
CenterScan 2010 also offers wire
and cable manufacturers a number
of key advantages, such as:
Compact design for a wider •
range of gauge installation on
the production line
Robust electronics with •
superior noise immunity
for closer placement to line
devices
Factory calibrated for fast, •
easy setup and simple
recompensation
Accurate product positioning •
with minimal alignment
Beta LaserMike will also be
exhibiting a range of other
high-precision, process
measurement and control
instrumentation for the wire
and cable industry to help
manufacturers improve product
quality and lower production costs.

Whitelegg Machines Ltd has been
steadily increasing its business
throughout the Middle East, primarily
with equipment for the repair of
electric motors. You may ask – what
have electric motors to do with the
wire industry? Well, they are wound
with copper wire and strip!
The electric motor is vital for the
operation of all industries and in
particular in this region, for the
production of oil and the generation
of electricity.
New motors can be very expensive
and require long delivery times, so
the repair industry, which often works
24 hours a day, can offer a rapid
response service to keep industry
running.
Whitelegg Machines has just
completed a €500,000 contract for
the supply and commissioning of
equipment in a new plant to support
the new port of Nakilat in Qatar.
This involved the company’s
personnel working in temperatures of
over 40ºC at a site remote from shops
and hotels.
Another substantial order for a
cement factory in Syria is just being
completed.
Whitelegg has been exhibiting at the
Middle East Electrical Exhibition in
Dubai, which is the largest and most
important showcase for electrical
products in the Middle East and the
Electrix Exhibition in Cairo, for 20
years.
The company is currently building
some coil winding machines for the
Egyptian Navy.
Egypt is more industrialised than
most Middle Eastern countries, hence
Whitelegg has supplied several CNC
wire bending and welding machines
for the production of components
from steel wire, which resulted from
contacts made at the wire exhibition
in Düsseldorf.
