Length and Speed Measurement Device

Published: March 21, 2008

DAYTON, OH | BetaLaserMike's enhanced its LaserSpeed 4000-3 non-contact measurement gauge uses Laser Doppler Velocimetry to measure the length and speed of any moving product or surface to an accuracy of +/- 0.05% or better. The new LaserSpeed 4000-3 adds Ethernet communication and configurable I/O, making it easier to integrate into any control or monitoring system.

The LaserSpeed series of measurement gauges were designed to be drop-in replacements for any type of mechanical tachometer. Savings reportedly are achieved through increased accuracy, reduced scrap, less product give-away, reduction of charge backs from short rolls or lengths, and reduced maintenance/calibration costs. Benefits are said to include no slippage, no marking of the product, and permanent calibration. See http://www.betalasermike.com.
