AccuScan 6000 - Four-Axis Diameter Gauge
The industry’s only four-axis diameter and ovality gauge. Accurately measure wire, cable, tube, and hose up to 50mm from four directions, calculating diameter and ovality.
Overview
AccuScan 6000 is the industry's only four-axis scanning diameter & ovality gauge, delivering the highest accuracy to ensure your products meet the tightest design and quality specifications. It provides the most comprehensive measurement coverage around your product's circumference to instantly detect changes in product diameter and ovality. This ultra-accurate laser micrometer is suitable for a wide range of applications such as pipe and tube, wire and cable, and other extruded or drawn cylindrical or shaped products.
Features & Benefits
- Most comprehensive measurement coverage – provides more accurate average diameter on products up to 50 mm.
- Highest ovality accuracy – up to 100%, unlike three-axis gauges.
- Highest flaw detection accuracy – 25% improvement over three axis-gauges.
- Highest product quality yield – offers significant manufacturing savings.
- Ultra-fast measurements – up to 9600 scans per second.
Applications
The AccuScan 6000 Series four-axis gauge can be used in a wide range of applications where the highest accuracy, repeatability and performance are critical for a wide range of product diameter measurements.

Provides up to 100% Ovality Accuracy
Depending on the orientation of the product within the measurement region, two- and three-axis gauges will only provide a certain degree of ovality accuracy. You will only get accurate readings when an elliptical product is perfectly aligned with the measurement axes to detect the maximum and minimum diameters. When the product is aligned with the measurement axes, three-axis gauges can provide an average ovality accuracy better than two-axis gauges – but will never deliver 100% accuracy. On the other hand, the AccuScan 6000 Series delivers a higher average ovality accuracy than can be reached with three-axis and 100% accuracy when the product is aligned with the measurement axes.
Better Measurement Coverage for More Accurate Average Diameter
The AccuScan 6000 Series four-axis scanning capability provides the most comprehensive measurement coverage around the product’s circumference compared to two-axis and three-axis gauges. The AccuScan 6000 Series performs ultra-fast diameter and ovality measurements at 2400 scans per second per axis, totaling 9600 measurements per second – enabling you to instantly detect changes in the product diameter. Using a unique calibration algorithm, the AccuScan 6000 Series provides the highest single-scan accuracy in the industry with single-scan repeatability down to 1 micron. This means with each and every scan you get a true and more accurate diameter measurement.
Highest Flaw Detection Accuracy with 25% Improvement Over 3-Axis
More measurement axes mean better flaw detection. In the illustration, a lump with a given height in the “blind area” (highlighted in red) will not be detected. As you can see, the blind area in the two-axis gauge is significantly larger than the three-axis and four-axis gauges. Similarly, the blind area in the three-axis gauge is larger than the four-axis gauge. With each additional axis, you increase the probability of detecting lumps and neckdowns by 25%.
Delivers the Highest Product Quality Yield for Significant Manufacturing Savings
With the new AccuScan 6000 Series gauge you get the best of all worlds: unmatched four-axis scanning coupled with high-accuracy, ultra-fast measurements. This winning combination lets you instantly detect changes in the product diameter so you can produce more quality products faster for maximum quality results. This level of measurement accuracy and quality coverage helps you reduce scrap and significantly lower manufacturing costs, so your operation is profitable for the long term.
