Placing the right amount of fiber in a loose tube optical fiber buffer tube is critical to making quality cable. The non-contact Differential Speed Measurement System is an easy-to-use solution for applications requiring the measurement of Excess Fiber Length (EFL) in loose tube manufacturing.

The system consists of two LaserSpeed® gauge heads and a LaserSpeed Length Differential Indicator. One gauge head measures the speed of the fiber bundle while the other measures the speed of the buffer tube. The indicator takes the inputs from both LaserSpeeds and calculates and displays the short EFL ratio. The long EFL ratio can be monitored through optional SPC software.

The LaserSpeed EFL Measurement System offers:
• Differential speed resolution of 0.01%
• Indicator with an easy-to-read LED display
• A serial interface to connect to a PLC or SPC analysis program

These features enable the system to provide following benefits:
• Monitoring Excess Fiber Length ratio, both short and long term EFL
• Simplifying line operation through easy-to-use interface
• Document product quality by importing differential speed data into statistical analysis package
