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.

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

❍ 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.
