Delivering production savings
THE Beta LaserMike CenterScan 2010 gauge accurately and
consistently monitors the diameter of insulated wire and cable,
and eccentricity of conductors within the insulation, during
extrusion and insulation processes.
Manufacturers are realising a number of benefits such as
improved product quality, reduced material consumption and
increased profits.
When the core of insulated wire and cable moves off centre,
product quality suffers. If left unchecked, this out-of-tolerance
wire or cable eccentricity can leave manufacturers with reels of
unusable product.
The CenterScan 2010 gauge solves this problem by using
highly sensitive magnetic and optical technology to precisely
determine the location of the conductor within the insulation.
This non-contact measurement system performs eccentricity,
diameter, wall thickness and flaw detection measurements in
one gauge head.
Benefits include:
• Easy integration into production environments with built-in
flexible communications
• Superior noise immunity for closer placement to line devices
• Compact design for installation flexibility on production line
• Simple access, viewing and configuration of gauge functions
via optional ultra-bright display
CenterScan 2010 reliably measures diameters from 0.1 to 10mm
(0.004 to 0.4") and determines eccentricity and diameter with
±0.0005mm (±0.00002") accuracy. Typical applications include
LAN, RF, coaxial, mini coaxial, telephone, automotive and
installation wire and cable.
