Measuring cable samples The latest product development from iiM corp, the fourth and revised version of the basic system of the VisioCablePro series, is suitable to carry out fast and precise geometry measurements of insulating skins and sheaths. Depending on the elected lens, the geometrical features of very small or very big cable samples can be measured. A wide range of single components (the user can choose

between forty different types of objectives and eight different camera systems) enables the exact adaptation of VCPB-04 to individual measuring criteria and needs. With high-resolution sensors and efficient lighting systems, the cable samples are well illuminated to eliminate shadows for optimal measuring results. The new housing improves the mea- suring exactness not only because it creates

ideal system conditions for the illumination, the optics and the camera but also because it offers protection against blanketing light and stability against vibrations. The lighting adjustment, focusing and measuring procedure are completely automatic and thus exclude any user’s influence on the measuring errors. The measurements of cable samples are carried out according to the basic measuring norms: EN 50396 (VDE 0473-396), EN 60811-1-1, DIN 57472 (parts 401, 402), VDE 0472 and 0473 (parts 401, 402) as well as VDE 0276-605. Additional options of the basic system are a template integrated in the corpus that allows the measuring of extrusion nozzles with a diameter up to 30mm and a USB jack that allows rapid connection to external devices, making the VCPB-04 very flexible. The system’s software, FMK-2, guarantees the optimal evaluation of the obtained measuring results.

Measurement and flaw detection LaserLinc has released a new model in its Triton line of triple-axis micrometers. The Triton360 has a 60mm measurement window and a maximum of 12,000 measurements per second (4,000 per axis).

The Triton360 is designed to provide more precise tracking of average diameter than two-axis micrometers, near-perfect ovality measurement, and improved flaw detection on opaque and clear products. The scanner can be used for pipe, cable, hose and other similar materials. Two Triton360s can be arranged on a dual-mount stand to provide six axes of measurement, 30 degrees apart.
