Benefits of Taymer's Wire and Cable Length Measuring Devices
Length Measurement Accuracy -
Taymer's Length Rite series of products have a cable length measurement accuracy of +/- 0.05% (with the exception of the LR100). Our 30 years of experience in wire length measuring devices enabled us to develop mechanical and electronic technology to deliver this industry leading length measuring accuracy.
Effects of Vibration Minimized
- Vibration can impact cable length measurement results by being erroneously considered as movement by competing technologies. Taymer's wire length measuring devices use technology that minimizes the effects of vibration. The high friction compound used in manufacturing our belts combines with uniform pressure applied to the cable to minimize slippage in the Taymer design.
Forward Adds, Backward Subtracts
- Sounds easy doesn't it? Some competing length measuring device are not capable of it. In rewind lines and in certain manufacturing lines, pipe and cable length measuring has to include flexibility to subtract movement in the opposite direction to determine an accurate length measurement. Taymer's Cable Length Measurement technology is well suited for this requirement and back and forth movement does not impact the machines' overall length measurement accuracy of 0.05%.
Comparison between Contact and Non-Contact Measurement Device
Contact Length Measurement Device
Benefits
- Suitable for all types of jacket
- Low machine and maintenance cost
- Easy and quick setup time
Limitations
- Requires surface contact with wire / cable
- Belt wear requires belt replacement
- Very high speed application > 1500 feet per minute can affect measurement consistency
Non-Contact (Laser) Length Measurement Device
Benefits
- No surface contact with wire / cable
- Very accurate on smooth jacket
- Very good at very high speeds >1500 feet per minute
Limitations
- Does not work on uneven surface
- Expensive option to measure both directions
- Requires long setup and calibration time
- Requires wire / cable movement to be steady
- Some cable colors cannot be measured
- Cable vibration leads to inaccurate length measurement
