LaserLinc offers precision, non-contact
systems for measuring diameter, ovality/
eccentricity, wall thickness, concentricity
and inside diameter.
The company’s systems reduce
material usage, increase production
efficiency, reduce scrap, improve process
and product quality, and provide
documentation of product quality.
In wire and cable, applications include
measurement and control of insulating,
jacketing, sheathing and armouring lines
for products in communications, power,
automation, control, instrumentation and
other markets.
Applications also include measurement
and control in optical fibre drawing and
colouring, tubing, hose, pipe, metrology
and others.
The equipment is designed for use in
industrial manufacturing environments
but works equally well for benchtop
installations.
LaserLinc’s line of laser micrometers cover
measurement of outer diameter (OD)
from 0.015mm (0.0006") to 228mm (9")
at measurement rates up to 12,000 per
second. The Triton™ series are three-axis
devices that provide the best average
diameter and accurate ovality (sometimes
called eccentricity) measurement,
regardless of product orientation.
LaserLinc’s UltraGauge+™ systems
measure wall thickness as thin as
0.025mm (0.001") of materials including
plastics, rubber, glass and metals.
These ultrasonic systems also measure
concentricity and wire eccentricity,
without the need for calibration.
Of particular interest to manufacturers
are the options for real-time data
processing and display, process control,
reporting, and information sharing and
integration with other plant-floor and
enterprise-wide systems. LaserLinc offers
its SmartLinc™ processor for easy, direct
integration with PLCs and HMI platforms
using standard industrial communications
protocols such as EtherNet/IP.
For full-featured, turnkey needs,
LaserLinc’s Total Vu™ systems offer simple-
to-sophisticated options:
• Configurable displays mean operators
can access exactly what they need to
operate the line efficiently
• Engineers get the monitoring (data
capture, SPC data and graphs), control
and reporting they need to document
quality and improve the process
• Managers get the reporting they
need and can know that others have
tools to achieve business objectives,
such as cost savings and increased
production output
• All users get lifetime software support
via phone, Internet and email
Advanced, in-process, FFT analysis and
SRL prediction are of special interest
to manufacturers of communication
products and are available with Total Vu
systems.
LaserLinc products are a key component
of the manufacturing process, and
LaserLinc’s warranty and service
policies reflect that fact. Whether it is
technical support at no charge, including
Internet-based, or the “spare-in-the-air”
overnight equipment replacement offer,
LaserLinc is committed to being a reliable
business partner.
