Automatic Measuring ofCable Slices

KSM Kabel

KSM KabelOff line

Measuring System

for Cables

CCD Camera

Cable slices are viewed by the CCD Camera in

the top of the Box

Round1 IEC 811-1-1

Measured in 1 Sec.

Optic Advantages

1. Long distance CCD Camera/optic -Cable slice

2. Optic locking down – no dust3. Fixed optic (zoom distortion)4. Not locking through glass Fish

Box Advantages1. Protection from outside

disturbing Light2. Fixed back light3. Adjustable over light for non

translucent samples4. Light overpressure via Filter5. Strong total even glass bottom6. Samples slide easy

on a measure glass7. Weight glass for XLPE cables

with built in tension

Round3 AEIC

Measured in 5 Sec.

Round3 IEC 811-1-1

Measured in 5 Sec.

Round2

Measured in 2 Sec.

KSM2 New Measure Programs

OHMCollect resistance and present trend curves. Also as a separate program for the stranding department. A KSM without “KSM”

FI82Figure8 with dual part

Advantages KSM

•Measure equally bad each timevery good repeat accuracy

•The same values independent who is measuring

•Very quick and easy to usemeasurements take seconds. Even the boss can do it!

•Can be located by the production line•Splendid help for centring

reduces start scrap.•Measured values are stored at the server

eliminates wrongly keyed data
