OverviewAccuScan 6000 is a four-axis laser diameter and ovality gauge designed for inline, high-speed measurement of cylindrical and profiled extruded or drawn products. The system delivers full circumferential coverage to detect diameter changes, ovality and surface irregularities with single-scan repeatability down to 1 µm.
Features & Benefits- Four-axis scanning provides the most comprehensive circumferential measurement coverage for more representative average diameter readings.
- Up to 100% ovality accuracy when the product is aligned with measurement axes; superior to 2- and 3-axis gauges.
- Improved flaw detection — up to 25% better detection of bumps and neckdowns versus three-axis systems.
- Ultra-fast measurement rates — up to 2400 scans/sec per axis (9600 scans/sec total) for instant detection on high-speed lines.
- High single-scan accuracy and repeatability reduce scrap and improve process yield.
Applications- Medical plastic tubing: catheters, drug-delivery tubing, surgical tubing and other small-diameter medical tubes.
- Wire and cable: LAN, coaxial, medical, automotive and specialty cables.
- Automotive plastic tubing and heat-shrink tubing.
- Cords, lines and other extruded or drawn cylindrical, flat or unique-profile products.

Technical specifications & additional information- Measurement principle: four-axis laser scanning micrometer for diameter and ovality.
- Calibration: optimized algorithm for highest single-scan accuracy and micron-level repeatability.
- Integration: designed for inline integration at extrusion, cable and tubing production lines with real-time data output for process control.
- Flaw coverage: additional axes reduce blind zones, increasing probability of detecting local defects.
