Cable Insulation Thickness Measurement: Why a ±0.05 mm Error Can Scrap an Entire Batch
Why does your QC Lab need a solution to this right now?
If you, too, had to scrap the entire batch with such a tiny error, you are not alone. All our cable manufacturing clients had the same challenge too. Here, accuracy isn’t optional, it’s the first point to start with. A mere ±0.05 mm deviation in insulation thickness can lead to product rejections, certification failures, and worst of all, customer loss. For years, quality teams relied on calipers, micrometers, and destructive cross-sectioning to measure insulation thickness.
These methods are time-consuming, prone to error, and can’t keep up with modern manufacturing speeds.
That is when we introduced our youngest hero- Cable Genie super active in just one-click, non- destructive, image-based cable measurement system is especially designed for cable manufacturers like you, who need super speed (results in just 3 seconds), accuracy & high precision to drastically reduce inspection time, and drive compliance in fast-paced production environments.
“Cable Genie” is Revolutionizing Cable Insulation Measurement.
It’s our clients who say this.
When our client says,
There are cable measuring instruments and there is Cable genie.
But what is Cable Genie?
Cable Genie is a digital image measurement system specifically engineered for the cable and wire industry. It uses advanced digital microscopy and vision measurement system technology to provide precise, repeatable insulation and conductor diameter measurements, without cutting, damaging, or prepping the cable.
Just 3 seconds and the system captures high-resolution images, processes them using powerful image analysis software, and outputs dimensional data that’s traceable and compliant with industry standards.
Do you know 80 % of the cables are rejected due to inaccurate dimensions and insulation inconsistencies?
It’s not just the rework but a heavy cost behind this as well –
Rework due to failed QA costs manufacturers an average of $20,000/month
Around 40 minutes per batch are wasted in traditional cross-sectional measurement
While with Cable Genie, you can cut measurement time by 90%, eliminate destructive testing, and scale your inspection process without scaling your team.
Why Cable Genie is the first and only choice of our clients for cable measurement:
3-Second Instant Measurement
3seconds and you are done with complete dimensional feedback – No prepping, cutting, or alignment, place the cable and get it done.
1.One-Click Operation
Trained technician or not, anyone can measure insulation thickness, ovality, conductor diameter, and eccentricity at the click of a button.
2. High-Precision Optics
Powered by digital microscopy and vision inspection system technology, Cable Genie delivers sub-micron precision.
3.Traceable and Auditable Reports
Crucial for audits and certifications are a must and we have got you covered to generate
auto-logged PDF/Excel reports with dimension history, operator ID, date-time stamps .
4. Just right fit for your Lab-Friendly Design
Designed for QC labs and production floors. No need for large coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) or cutting stations.
