Beta LaserMike is a leading global provider of measurement and control solutions. It has a long history of providing innovative technology to the world’s leading industrial organizations. The company’s origins trace back to two main companies: Beta Instruments and LaserMike. Beta Instruments pioneered the measurement and control technologies for the wire and cable industry in the mid-sixties. LaserMike invented the first laser-scanning micrometer in the early seventies to accurately measure part dimensions. These companies merged in 1997 under the now parent company “the Spectris Group” to form Beta LaserMike. In 2003, they purchased a key non-contact length and speed measurement technology from TSI Instruments which is recognized by the brand name of LaserSpeed®.

Products and Applications

Since its inception, Beta LaserMike’s solutions has helped its customers drive profitability by increasing productivity. The company has over 35 patents worldwide and continues to innovate. Each year, Beta LaserMike invests in its R&D efforts to develop the next-generation of measurement and control solutions to meet the growing needs of the market and customers.

Beta LaserMike’s portfolio of measurement and control solutions include laser, ultrasonic, infrared, and process control technology for various production applications in wire and cable, non-woven materials, paper, plastic, fiber optics, pipe and tube, primary metals, and dimensional metrology. These solutions seamlessly integrate with an organization’s production processes to effectively reduce scrap, minimize material usage, increase capacity, and ensure product quality. Notable products include:

• CenterScan 2010, an on-line, high-speed eccentricity gauge that effectively measures wire and cable insulation over a solid or stranded core without touching the product.

• LayScan®, a non-contact system that accurately and consistently measures the lay lengths of twisted pairs for high-performance category cables with accuracies to 1 mil.

• LaserSpeed®, a revolutionary non-contact laser encoder that directly measures length and speed to +0.05% accuracy.

• AccuScan, an advanced laser gauge that delivers non-contact measurement of diameter and ovality for increased manufacturing accuracy.

• UltraScan, a powerful and unique ultrasonic gauge that provides non-contact precision measurement of tube wall thickness, eccentricity, diameter, and ovality.

• LN Detector, a sophisticated infrared gauge that instantly detects changes in cable diameter (lumps or neckdowns) to immediately alert operators of product faults.

• High-Frequency Spark Tester, a high-performance testing device that checks cable insulation quickly and accurately without slowing down your process.

• BenchMike, a table-top system that provides fast, accurate, and repeatable measurements of cut cable samples and immediate feedback for out-of-tolerance conditions.
