The "Blistbuster" concept: a new approach to detect recurrent diameter flaws (Blisters) in Magnet Wire Industry, using low frequency, cost-effective laser scanners.
December 2, 2010
Summary
A suitable real time processing of all diameter measurements coming from low frequency dual-axis laser gauges, allows on-line, early detection of repetitive diameter flaws (blisters) in the enamel jacket of fast moving magnet wires.
A theoretical model is outlined and a computer simulation programme is presented: it is possible to run realistic virtual tests to see how the system would work on-line, checking wires with any pattern of blisters.

The New NO-VAR Technology
for the Aeroel Laser Micrometers
April 30, 2009
Summary
The NO-VAR (NO-VARiation) technology developed for the Aeroel Laser Micrometers allows one to simply get perfect diameter measurements, even in non thermally controlled environments, when the ambient temperature is significantly different from the reference temperature (20°C).
Thanks to this new technology it is possible to get in the workshop or in line, the same results that one would get in a controlled temperature metrology room when measuring any material and even when the ambient temperature is changing by some degree/hour.

L'utilizzo di micrometri laser per il controllo del diametro
nei processi di trafila del filo di rame
(The Use of Laser Micrometers for Controlling Diameter in Drawing Copper Wire)
Proceeding to Conference TECNOLOGIE DEL FILO E DEL CAVO - Erba (CO) - November 8, 2002
Summary
In today's world, and all the more so in the near future, the globalization of economy is certainly the main reason of the continuous increase of the competitiveness among companies. Many new competitors, which are often placed in remote regions of the earth, present themselves on the market, offering competitive prices and products which not only hinder our spread in new and far market, but are a threaten for our companies in the local market, too.
In order to check this phenomenon, all the company processes must be proceed towards a continuous improving: little betterments and moderate savings become important and, added together, can produce a decisive advantage.
As for a company which draws copper wire, both for selling it as end products, and for using it as raw material in other productive processes (i.g. production of electrical cable, enamelled wire, etc.), the use of laser micrometers for controlling the diameter of drawn copper wire contributes to the improvement of the productive process and allows to reach a meaningful saving in material and reduction of scraps. In addition, it allows to supply to the customers a higher quality product.
By using these devices, it is also possible to get a saving in terms of manpower, because it is not necessary to give an operator the task of measuring the diameter: the measurement becomes more accurate and the results absolutely reproducible, with no errors and/or human influence.
The cost of the investment can be amortized just in 4 months, because of the saving in copper so achieved.

On-line diameter measuring of ferrous wire on dry drawing benches: how laser gauges can do their job in this very harsh environment.
Proceeding to Conference Wire & Cables Europe - Düsseldorf, May 26-27, 1999
Summary
It is a well known fact that the major obstacle in expanding on-line diameter measuring practice in the Wire Industry is the high dust sensitivity of most optical instruments; which jeopardises applications on dry drawing benches, where soap and iron dust can strongly affect the measuring accuracy and blind the sensor in a short time. This report documents Aeroel's state-of-the-art laser measuring technology applied on dry drawing benches: ten years of field experience and continuous development have lead to a reliable and effective solution of the aforementioned problem.
