ActiveScan™
Precisely Measure Any Cable Profile

Beta LaserMike’s ActiveScan measurement system outperforms traditional stationary and motion-based diameter gauges used to measure cables with unique profiles. ActiveScan effectively monitors and controls the height and width of flat, sector, and special-shaped cables with the highest precision regardless of product alignment or angular rotation. Its unique, non-contact oscillating measurement method ensures repeatable accuracy, faster product changeovers, and higher productivity for greater profits.

Measures any cable profile with the highest accuracy

Measure the height and width of flat, sector (such as straight or pre-spiraled), and special-shaped cables up to 40 mm (1.50 in). Measure products at any line speed with ±0.001 mm (±0.000040 in) accuracy. Proprietary STAC Logic software captures and processes dimensional data, and provides precise height and width measurements.

Reliable, long-lasting operation

Completely pneumatic motion system uses no electronic components for the lowest possible maintenance and highest reliability, and is engineered for long-term operation. Conforms to CE standards.

Total process control and communications versatility

Integrates with Beta LaserMike DataPro controllers for complete process management. Also interfaces with Profibus, Ethernet IP, and RS-232.
