Innovation and vision For over 15 years iiM AG measurement and engineering has provided customers with complete solutions for measurement engineering and industrial machine vision, and now there is VisioCablePro® which produces innovative devices for geometrical cable measurement engineering (EN 60811). the cable-measuring device VCPL – a telecentric laser system for offline measurements on diameters of various cable types, sizes and even stranded cables and wires. Due to the mechanics of the device, up to 18mm thick samples can be measured lengthwise and radially. The VCPLab – one of the most popular measuring devices of the VisioCablePro® series – and measuring software FMC3 were especially designed for measuring geometrical characteristics on cable isolations and sheaths. After the device records a high-resolution image of the sample up to 50mm, the software automatically measures the most important features such as inner diameter, outer diameter, concentricity and the maximum, minimum and average wall thicknesses. Also cable samples with One of these products is

several layers and various shapes (with carrier, flat cables, ASI cables) as well as wires (wire surface, wire faults, dents) can easily be measured. Present databases can simply be connected simply, and iiM also offers CAQ software, ProCable, as well as many
