❍ The LayScan measurement system
Beta LaserMike will also debut its new
three-axis LN Detector. This advanced,
compact system provides more precise
detection of short-term faults (lump and
neckdowns) in the wire diameter than
two-axis systems.
The three-axis scanning system ensures
360-degree coverage around the product’s
circumference to instantly detect changes
in the surface profile.
The LN Detector can measure wires up to
15mm (0.59") in diameter at line speeds up
to 3,000m/min (9,842ft/min). It can accept a
range of inputs including length encoder,
tachometer, line start/stop, and clear faults
and can be connected to a host PC or PLC
using Ethernet IP, Profibus, and Profinet.
Data capture capabilities enable the
reporting of critical process information
such as height, length, number, and
location of the flaw.
There will be a number of other displays.

Borkener Kistenfabrik
Stand: 09A59
With 106 cable drums – 68 transport- and
38 production drums – Borkener
Kistenfabrik has supported the Netherlands
in handling the energy revolution.
The cable drums with a diameter of 4.2
metres were used by the Dutch cable
manufacturer Prysmian to produce and
transport power cables in order to connect
two offshore wind farms in the North Sea at
a converter station in Diele near Papenburg.
Approximately 150km of 300,000 V
high-voltage underground cables 125mm in
diameter had to be transported via heavy
truck load due to their weight of 40 tons
per reel.
Thanks to the larger production facility –
added in 2008 and the recently modernised
and expanded machinery – the develop-
ment and construction of the cable drums
has been handled quickly.
❍ The special cable reels are ready for
transport
