such as FFT and SRL prediction, help reduce
scrap, increase production efficiency,
and improve quality. The UltraGauge+™
ultrasonic wall thickness measurement
system uses hardened stainless steel fixtures
designed to withstand harsh wire and
cable manufacturing environments, and
UltraLock™ Auto Setup provides automatic
configuration.
Gauges operate via
PC-based Total Vu™
software. Total Vu
provides a complete
audit trail of the
process, including
flaw reporting, SPC
charts and Excel-based user-designed
reports, alongwith real-timeanalysis with run
and trend charts, graphical cross-section
display and measurements in configurable,
easy-to-read panels. Other features include
in-process tolerance checking, feedback
control and recipes.
Laser gauges measure diameters from
0.035 to 120mm (0.0014" to 4.7"), and
feature compact models and the highest
measurement rates available. With the
UltraGauge+, wall thickness can be
measured at up to eight positions, with up
to 2,000 measurements per second.
LaserLincmicrometers and theUltraGauge+
digital signal processor have a four-year
parts and labour warranty. If a micrometer
needs warranty repair, LaserLinc will
overnight deliver a temporary replacement.

Lloyd & Bouvier, Inc
Booth 1832
Lloyd & Bouvier now offers a 50" shaftless
dual reel take-up, consisting of two 50"
welded plate frames bolted together with
common traverse mounted on dual linear
bearings, with a continuous belt drive
activated with a servo motor. A clamp and
pulley system can be incorporated into the
traverse system to direct and hold the wire
during crossover.
The take-up accepts reel diameters from
24" to 50" and reel widths from 20" to
40". Reel lifting is accomplished through
pneumatically loaded cylinders to lift reels
up to 5,000lb. Gate arm positioning for
various reel widths is achieved through dual
AC gear motors with automatic centering
via Acme threaded rod activation.
Power is provided by a 10 HP AC motor
with in-line reducer to provide maximum
torque. A NEMA panel houses the 10 HP
AC Vector main drive and all related
electrical components, and operator
controls are mounted on gate arms for
