Gauge Head Add on Hardware
3 analog (+10 V) outputs can be set to X, Y, Z-axis output for 2 and 3 axis gauges. Average diameter, diameter error, ovality, and ovality error.
Feedback Control monitors the actual measured diameter compared to a Preset Value and provides a Control Output Signal that can be used to trim the motor output and maintain the product diameter within the Preset Value.
Gauge Head Add on Software
The 10k scanning option upgrades the standard gauge to enable a high scan rate that can be used for effective flaw and defect detection, each scan takes just 1ms to obtain and output a new diameter reading.
Maximum, Minimum, Mean, Standard Deviation, Cp, Cpk is collected during a selectable time or length period. The results are updated on the CDi4 Universal Display, PGIS Software and can be transmitted digitally.
Statistical Process Control (SPC) enhances the Feedback Control option. Statistical Process Control, “measures” Process Capability and automatically adjusts the control setpoint to maximize material savings while maintaining control within upper and lower limits.
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analyzes the diameter data for periodicity. Providing Amplitude versus Frequency data and a graphical representation on the CDi4 Universal Display Unit or PCIS Software.
Single Measurement Flaw Detection (SMFD) analyzes each individual measurement and compares it with the running average. If a Single Measurement is greater than the running average and above a threshold value a Flaw is Detected.
Measuring Principle
The Eccentricity Gauge combines electromagnetic and optical scanning principles. The optical scanning system is used to define the wire insulation outer diameter and the electromagnetic system is used to determine the wire core position, eccentricity and 8 point wall thickness.
Optical measurement is done by sending out light from LEDs which shine on the measuring object thus casting a shadow on the CCD receiver. The image information is then evaluated by integrated signal processors.
The optical measurement and magnetic measurement are performed simultaneously at high rates, minimizing inaccuracies caused by wire vibrations, and both measurements are controlled on the same plane to eliminate the errors due to product twists.
