LaserSpeed Pro - Length & Speed Gauge
Measure the length and speed of any moving product with the highest laser precision. Replace your error-prone contact encoders with a laser precision gauge and begin realizing immediate production savings.
Overview
The LaserSpeed Pro gauge by Nordson is a cutting-edge laser encoder that allows measuring the length and speed of any moving surface with ±0.03% accuracy, ±0.02% repeatability, and without ever contacting the product. It uses a long-established, non-contact Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) technology and is a proven performer in various industrial applications, including wire & cable, pipe & tube, metals, film, paper, packaging, lumber, rubber, etc. Moreover, it is Industry 4.0 ready with expanded capabilities in Ethernet connectivity, communication, and control.
The LaserSpeed Pro length & speed gauge is easy to install and use. It has no moving parts and is factory calibrated for low-maintenance operation. Its compact, smart design makes it the ideal replacement for error-prone, rotary encoders. Join the long list of satisfied LaserSpeed Pro customers worldwide.

Contact Tachometers vs. LaserSpeed Pro
| Standard Tachometer | LaserSpeed Pro |
| Inaccuracy caused by product slippage, dirt build-up, day-to-day wear problems. | Non-contact measurement ensures high accuracy and repeatability. |
| High cost of ownership due to the need to regularly replace parts and recalibrate. | No moving parts ensure permanent calibration and low cost of ownership. |
| Contact measurement can mark or damage the product. | Non-contact measurement ensures no marking or damage of the product. |
Der ROI genauer Längen- und Geschwindigkeitsmessungen
Probleme bei der Längen- und Geschwindigkeitsmessung können die Fähigkeit zur Steuerung der Produktgeschwindigkeit, zum Erreichen präziser Zuschnittanforderungen und anderer kritischer Prozessfunktionen erheblich beeinträchtigen. Darüber hinaus können unzuverlässige Messungen Ihr Unternehmen aufgrund von Produktverlusten, Abfall durch Ausschuss, Produktivitätsverlusten, Prozess-Maschinenstillstandszeit und anderen Bedingungen eine Menge Geld kosten. Insgesamt sorgt der LaserSpeed Pro-Längengeschwindigkeitsmesser dafür, dass Sie immer einen Schritt voraus sind: &
- Minimierung von Produktabfällen.
- Reduzierung von Produktengpässen und -überschüssen.
- Liniengeschwindigkeit wird erhöht.
- Keine Wartung erforderlich.
- Maschinenstillstandszeit wird minimiert.
- Senkung der Betriebskosten.
