LaserSpeed encoder enables medical manufacturers to measure the length and speed of moving product with 0.05% accuracy
Beta LaserMike, a leading global provider of precision measurement and control solutions, will demonstrate its LaserSpeed encoder and the non-contact measurement advantages it provides to medical manufacturers at MD&M West, booth# 2637. This exposition is located at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California and runs from February 8 through 10.
“The medical manufacturing industry is driven to optimize productivity and quality,” said Stuart Manser, Western US and Canada Sales Manager for Beta LaserMike. “Critical to achieving this is the ability for medical manufacturers to accurately measure the length and speed of product, such as medical tubing and packaging, during production. Companies across a range of sectors are replacing mechanical contact and rotary encoders, which are prone to a host of measurement errors, with non-contact, laser-based measurement systems such as our LaserSpeed product.”
The LaserSpeed system uses advanced, laser-based technology to precisely measure the length and speed of medical products during production without making contact to the moving goods. This laser encoder projects a unique pattern on the surface of the product. As the product moves, light is scattered back to the LaserSpeed unit. This information is translated into product speed and pulses are produced to determine the product length. Length and speed measurements are captured with better than +0.05% accuracy. Beta LaserMike offers a complete line of LaserSpeed encoders with measurement speeds up to 39,400 ft/min (12,000 m/min), standoff distances to 39.4 in (1000 mm), and measurement depth of field to 3.0 in (100 mm).
Special Presentation at Innovation Briefs: Beta LaserMike will be giving a presentation at this year’s Innovation Briefs entitled “New Non-Contact, Laser-Based Gauge for Measuring Length and Speed of Medical Products.” The topic will be presented by Stuart Manser of Beta LaserMike on Thursday, February 10, 2011 from 12:30 pm – 12:55 pm.
