Visitors to booth 316 will get a first-hand view of Beta LaserMike’s new AccuScan 5000 diameter & ovality gauge and learn about the newly released DCM cable testing solutions
Indianapolis, Indiana –April 8, 2014 – Beta LaserMike, a leading global provider of precision measurement and control solutions, will be exhibiting its new high-speed AccuScan 5000 series diameter and ovality gauge with the highest single-scan accuracy in the industry. The latest cable testing solutions include the new DCM ES-2G LAN/Data testing platform now to 2.2 GHz and the new SCS-700 LAN/Data cable testing platform with high- and low-frequency measurement capabilities. Wire Expo 2014 is being held at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis from May 6 – 7.
The new dual-axis AccuScan 5000 gauges perform high-speed diameter and ovality measurements at 2400 scans per second per axis and provide the highest single-scan accuracy in the industry. The improvements in the single-scan calibration algorithm ensure each scan is highly accurate and reliable. The high-speed tolerance checking option permits the early and precise detection of lumps and necks to eliminate costly product waste. The STAC (stranded, twisted, armoured, and corrugated) logic software option provides accurate max/min OD or enveloped readings at a higher rate, allowing for faster process control of complex cable constructions. AccuScan gauges effectively measure transparent, translucent, and opaque products up to 80 mm in diameter. All gauges offer highly flexible communications including RS-232, Ethernet/IP, Ethernet TCP/IP, DeviceNet, Profibus, Profinet, CANOpen, Analog, and Digital.
The latest DCM ES-2G testing platform extends the high-frequency measurement range to test Cat 5e/6/6a/7/7a cables now up to 2.2 GHz. This bench-top system is also optimized to test next-generation 40 Gb/s Cat 8 cables. The base unit includes automatic 4-pair switching and the baluns needed to interface the cable under test to an external vector network analyzer for fast cable testing. Testing can be performed in less than 3 minutes. The heart of the system is the Windows®-based software engine that includes a simple, easy-to-use test program with automatic comparison to the test specification, full test reporting, and data management.
The new DCM SCS-700 enables cable makers to efficiently and effectively test both the high- and low-frequency characteristics of Cat 5e/6/6a cables. The high-frequency (HF) testing range is to 700 MHz. The low-frequency option includes an integrated LCR meter that enables users to test resistance, mutual capacitance, and capacitance unbalance at frequencies down to 100 Hz. The low-frequency (LF) testing capability also enables cable makers to test longer cable lengths up to 10 Km and avoid the cutting and scrapping of product to perform required tests. Dual-frequency testing can be performed with a single connection to significantly reduce set-up and testing time. The automated 4-pair switching platform enables cables HF and LF cable tests to be performed in less than 3 minutes. As with all DCM cable testing systems, the SCS-700 is equipped with easy-to-use test software for comprehensive test data management and reporting.
