CapScan 2000 - Capacitance Gauge
A drift-free, in-process capacitance measurement system for cable applications. Realize greater accuracy and consistency between in-process and post-process capacitance measurements to increase quality yields and product output.
Overview
As datacom cable manufacturers face more challenging specifications for Structural Return Loss, Near- and Far-end Cross Talk, and Attenuation, it’s more important than ever to catch problems as they develop – not after the fact. Because downgrading or rejecting finished cable robs you of productivity and profitability. That’s why correlating in-process and post-process measurement results accurately and consistently is so important.
The CapScan 2000 gauging system solves this problem by enabling you to correlate this process data through on-line, high-speed measurements of cable capacitance. A combination of low signal-to-noise ratio and proprietary, drift-free electronics enable the system to deliver highly accurate and consistent measurements.
Features & Benefits
- High-Accuracy Gauging – obtain accurate readings on wet or dry trough installations at line speeds up to 3,000 m/min.
- Worry-Free Operation – benefit from enhanced accuracy via unique self-balancing bridge, auto gain and auto self-calibration.
- Real-Time Analysis – use fast analog output for FFT/SRL analysis to eliminate costly SRL failures.
- Flexible Connectivity – easy connection to PLCs, PCs or a Nordson controller.
- Dry Trough Option – high-pressure end caps for dry installations.
