Device details:

• Measurements according to the standards LV212 und LV122.
• The twist length of the samples is measured without removing the sheath.
  → this ensures a precise measurement.
• Traditional methods manipulate the sample (cable stripping / unwinding of conductors).
  → a precise measurement is not possible anymore.
• Via a PC connection, the measuring results can directly be exported.
• Fully automatic: By clicking one button, the measuring sensor automatically moves along the sample.

Results:

• Result file: It is possible saving the following result data into a text file (export function):
  • Amount of twists.
  • Measured distance (distance from the first twist to the last overlapping twist).
  • Driving distance of the sensor.
  • Minimum / Maximum twist length.
  • Average of the detected twist lengths.

Calibration:

• The calibration is performed with a specially designed master-sample (calibration piece).
