Off-Line Diameter & Ovality Measurement System BETA LaserMike BenchMike 283 Series for Wire and Cable Samples Accuracy Patented optical design and edge-sensing electronics provide high-precision measurements Auto-compensation features maintain accuracy throughout entire measurement range and adjust for thermal expansion outside laboratory environments Reliability Non-contact measurement technique provides the same level of accuracy regardless of operator Tolerance checking quickly alerts the operator of out-of-tolerance conditions Beta LaserMike mounting fixtures ensure the test piece is always properly presented to the gauge Ease-of use A touch-screen interface provides simple operation and setup A library list stores product “recipes” and allows the operator to switch products quickly and easily A range of input/output (I/O) ports allow flexible integration with other devices The industry’s most accurate, reliable, and easiest-to-use gauging system The Beta LaserMike BenchMike 283 series provides fast and accurate measurements of manufactured parts or cut samples of extruded parts. Used either in a quality control (QC) laboratory or on the plant floor, BenchMike gives operators a simple and repeatable system for measuring parts and immediately knowing whether they meet specifications within tolerances of less than 1 µm (0.00004 in.). Laser technology allows BenchMike to measure multiple product dimensions without touching, deforming, scratching, or damaging the part. Unlike other micrometers and mechanical indicators that can give errors due to poor zero setting, end play, or calibration, or are sensitive to user input, BenchMike provides repeatable measurements regardless of the operator. With the Beta LaserMike BenchMike, there is nothing to adjust between part measurements and nothing to wear out.

BETA LaserMike Innovative Technology The Beta LaserMike line of products operate on the cutting edge of measurement technology. In 1973, we patented our innovative laser measurement technique (the first of its kind in the world), and today we continue to improve our designs by making them easier to use while maintaining precision accuracy. Each BenchMike contains a transmitter, receiver, processor electronics, and a touch-screen display in an integrated package. A thin band of high-speed scanning laser light is projected from the transmitter by a low-power laser source, a scanning mirror,...
