LaserSpeed...The global leader in length and speed measurement.
Pipe & Tube
PIPE & TUBE
Manufacturers of pipe and tube require the accurate length measurement of products. Accurate length measurements control cutting systems that produce products to exact production and customer size specifications. Accurate length measurements also enable manufacturers to properly position pipe and tubes to mark them with important product information. However, many manufacturers still use mechanical contact encoders to perform these measurements not realizing they are getting 1% or greater accuracy at best due to slippage and mechanical issues. Length discrepancies can directly affect product quality and create waste, costing the manufacturer significantly.
LaserSpeed offers the accuracy advantage
The LaserSpeed non-contact encoder directly measures the length and speed of pipe and tube products with better than ±0.03% accuracy, 0.02% repeatability. It is the ideal solution for replacing your mechanical contact encoders that are prone to a variety of measurement errors and high maintenance costs. LaserSpeed is a proven performer in:
- Continuous length measurement
- Speed measurement
- Discrete product measurement
- Differential speed control
- Cut-to-length control
- Product positioning for marking/printing
- And more...

Applications
Application: Continuous Length and Speed
Pipe manufacturer uses LaserSpeed to measure the continuous length and speed of seamless pipe for quality control.
Application: Cut Control
Manufacturer uses LaserSpeed to control the precise cutting of automotive brace tubes. LaserSpeed ensures better than ±0.03% accuracy and 0.02% repeatability in process operations.
Application: Continuous Length Verification
Manufacturer accurately verifies the length of structural steel tube during production to ensure product meets fabrication specifications.
Wire / Cables
WIRE / CABLES
Wire and cable manufacturers face a number of production challenges based around productivity and quality. The goal is to ensure optimum efficiency from the equipment and people that operate the plant. A key to making this happen is the ability to accurately measure the length and speed of products during production. But if you’re using mechanical contact encoders to perform these measurements, you’re probably getting 1% or greater accuracy at best. This means you’re throwing away money due to waste, maintenance, or product give-away.
LaserSpeed delivers the highest accuracy and savings
LaserSpeed uses advanced laser-based technology to perform measurements without contacting your wire and cable products. You avoid those costly measurement inaccuracies caused by slippage, dirt build-up, and day-to-day wear from mechanical contact encoders. You get ±0.03% accuracy and 0.02% reliability in applications such as:
- Continuous length measurement at take-up reels
- Cut-to-length control
- Differential speed regulation
- Product positioning
- Marking/printing on products
- And more…
Realize increased productivity and cost savings
Regardless of your production line speeds or product types, LaserSpeed delivers precise and repeatable measurements day-in and day-out, from production run to production run. No moving parts and permanent calibration means no maintenance and no downtime. You realize the lowest cost of ownership. Plus, you win in significant time and money savings. Try LaserSpeed today
Applications
Application: Marking/Printing
LaserSpeed used at cable manufacturing facility to accurately control sequential printing applications. LaserSpeed is installed alongside the printing system before take-up reel.
Wire manufacturer uses LaserSpeed to accuratley measure the continuous length of product to ensure spools are wound with the correct amount of wire for ultimate delivery to customers.
