he LSV 1000/2000 velocimeters from ZUMBACH support

manufacturers when monitoring quality in steel, cable, wire

and tubing production. They exceed the performance of con-

ventional contact-based measuring methods, at the same time

offering maximum robustness with minimized maintenance

requirements and costs.

The compact device provides length and velocity data quickly

and reliably for both process control and cut-to-length appli-

cations. Precise detection of very small movements is possible

because the measuring accuracy is not dependent on the

speed. The LSV 1000/2000 makes it possible to:

• Rapidly adjust the desired measuring field: The device is a

compact all-in-one system and can be easily integrated into

production processes. The visible lasers simplify alignment in

the measuring field.

• Measure immediately – with mobile or remote monitoring:

Recalibration is superfluous. Its low weight of just 4.3 kg and

the supplied mobility kit allow rapid mobile deployment as well

as the connection to a laptop. The sensors are immediately

ready for use and feature a universal power supply and a LAN

connection.

• Optimize production processes – irrespective of the surfaces,

materials and temperatures: The LSV length and speed sen-

sors can be used in a huge array of environments. They are ro-

bust enough to supply reliable results even in adverse conditi-

ons: the LSV 1000/2000 measure reliably on virtually any sur-

face, e.g. steel, shiny aluminium, oily sheets, wire and cable.

Certified for protection classes IP 66 and IP 67 (in acc. with EN

60529), the robust sensor technology ensures reliable opera-

tion even under harsh conditions.

• Communicate effectively: The rapid, state-of-the-art signal

processor is equipped with a powerful command system for

efficient system communication via serial or Ethernet interface.

Precise knowledge of length and current speed is

a key cost and process optimization factor in the

production of sheet goods and cables. Wear and

slip push material costs up, but companies today

can no longer afford to produce rejects. Quality is

in demand – From the outset.
