Where Measurement and Control Fit in Wire & Cable Workflows

Wire Extrusion and Insulation

Non-contact diameter measurement for process stability, troubleshooting, and inspection.

Stranding and Cabling

Wireless rotating tension monitoring and closed-loop control for cage, tubular, and bow-type stranders.

Wire Taping Operations

Maintain consistent tension and handling for tape application and specialized downstream processing.

Flaw Detection and Quality

Identify surface events and defects that impact yield, customer escapes, and traceability documentation.

What We Help You Improve

Wire and cable manufacturing quality is often limited by variation that is difficult to see until scrap piles up. Systems are commonly used to reduce:

  • Diameter variation and drift during extrusion
  • Tension instability during stranding and downstream operations
  • Handling defects and surface events that create customer escapes
  • Setup time and troubleshooting time after line changes
  • Rework caused by late detection of out-of-spec product

If you share your product type, OD range, line speed, and the process step (extrusion, stranding, taping, or inspection), we can recommend a practical approach.

Gauge Advisor is the official sales and service partner for LaserLinc and FMS to deliver precision measurement and process-control solutions for wire and cable production. Integrated systems support real-time diameter and ovality monitoring, surface inspection for flaw detection, and closed-loop tension control for stable product quality.

LaserLinc advantages
  • Non-contact diameter and ovality measurement
  • Fast setup and stable, repeatable readings
  • Application support and scalable integration
  • Built for production and inspection workflows
FMS advantages
  • Wireless rotating tension measurement for stranders
  • Closed-loop tension control options
  • Eliminates slip ring signal loss issues
  • Easy integration into plant controls

Need a Recommendation for Your Line or Inspection Workflow?

Send your product type, OD range, line speed, and which process step applies (extrusion, stranding, wire taping, or inspection). We will help you narrow down the right measurement, tension, or flaw detection approach and coordinate next steps.
