In the wire and cable industry, precision is not just a specification—it is the bedrock of safety, reliability, and performance. For power transmission, communication networks, and automotive wiring, even microscopic deviations in conductor diameter, insulation thickness, or concentricity can lead to catastrophic field failures, electrical hazards, and costly infrastructure downtime -
5. At Guangdong Lixian Instruments Co., Ltd. , we provide advanced testing equipment engineered to meet these critical quality assurance demands. Our HZ-3510A Vision Measuring System delivers high-precision, non-contact dimensional inspection, enabling manufacturers to validate material geometry, ensure regulatory compliance, and guarantee the flawless performance of their cable products .
Why Vision Measurement is Essential for Wire & Cable Materials
Modern cable quality relies on a complex interplay of structural parameters. Traditional contact-based measurement methods, such as micrometers and projectors, are often too slow, prone to operator error, or risk deforming soft materials like XLPE insulation -3. The HZ-3510A Vision Measuring System overcomes these limitations through advanced optical technology, providing a fast, accurate, and non-destructive solution for:
Conductor Integrity: Verifying the diameter and roundness of copper or aluminum conductors to ensure optimal conductivity.
Insulation & Jacket Geometry: Measuring the precise thickness of primary insulation and outer jackets, identifying thin spots that are prone to dielectric breakdown .
Concentricity (Eccentricity): Calculating the ratio between the minimum and maximum insulation thickness. Poor concentricity leads to weak spots and premature cable failure -5.
Sheath & Shielding Layers: Inspecting the dimensions of metallic shields, armor wires, and semi-conductive layers crucial for cable longevity.
Surface Quality: Detecting surface defects such as scratches, bubbles, or impurities on the cable jacket .
Key Features of the HZ-3510A Vision Measuring System
High-Precision Granite Construction: The HZ-3015A features a marble base and column, providing exceptional stability, vibration damping, and long-term accuracy. This rigid structure is essential for achieving the micron-level measurements required for high-voltage XLPE cable qualification.
Generous Measuring Range: With an effective travel of X-axis 300mm × Y-axis 200mm and Z-axis focusing capability, the system accommodates a wide variety of wire and cable samples, from small communication wires to large power cable cross-sections.
Superior Optical System: Equipped with a high-definition color CCD camera and a 0.7X–4.5X zoom lens, the system provides optical magnification from 30X to 190X. This high resolution allows for clear visualization of fine details, such as conductor strand interfaces and semi-conductive layer boundaries.
Micron-Level Accuracy: The HZ-3510A achieves linear accuracy of (3+L/200)µm with a resolution of 1µm. This level of accuracy is critical for meeting international standards that require measurement precision of up to 0.01mm -5.
Dual LED Illumination: Both surface (incident) and contour (transmitted) illumination use adjustable LED light sources. This provides optimal contrast for measuring complex multi-layer cable structures, clearly defining the boundaries between conductor, insulation, and shielding layers.
Powerful Measurement Software: The system includes Lixian measurement software with comprehensive functionality for measuring points, lines, circles, distances, and angles. Specific software features can automate the calculation of critical parameters like average insulation thickness, minimum thickness point, and the all-important eccentricity ratio, generating detailed reports for quality documentation.
