LR100 Small

Length Rite 100 - Simple Wire Length Measuring Device
The Length Rite 100 is designed to meet the low speed, moderate length measurement accuracy requirements of most wire harness fabricators.  The LR100 is a Mechanical length measuring device counter in either footage or metric units with one decimal.

  LR300

Length Rite 300 - Simple, Accurate Wire Length Measurement
Taymer's LR300 is a new product designed to provide accurate, digital length measurement results for small diameter wires at low production speeds.  Please call us for more details.

LR600 Overview Small

Length Rite 600 - High Accuracy Small Cable Length Measurement
The Length Rite 600 has been designed to meet the continuous cable length measuring requirements of wire manufacturers and wire harness manufacturers requiring high accuracy length measurement.  Our accurate cable length measurement device includes a dedicated cable length measurement and line speed displays. Designed for high speed, continuous process length measurement, the Length Rite 600 is ideal for the production environment.

LR1200 Overview Small

Length Rite 1200 - Pipe/Large Cable Length Measurement
The Length Rite 1200 is capable of accurate length measuring of 1/4" (6mm) diameter wire up to 5" (125mm) diameter.  For pipe and tube manufacturing, length measuring device designs handling up to 10" (250mm) are available.  Taymer's robust construction is well suited to both wire & cable length measuring and pipe & tube length measuring requirements.  Click the link above to get full details.

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
