With Laser Tachome­ter 3, Rotec is launch­ing a new elec­tron­ic unit for speed mea­sure­ments with laser sen­sors. It pro­vides a vari­ety of fea­tures such as the pos­si­bil­i­ty of auto­mat­ic stor­age of elec­tri­cal oper­at­ing para­me­ters. It also sup­ports an increased max­i­mum line fre­quen­cy for high-speed mea­sure­ments and ensures great resis­tance to tem­per­a­ture fluc­tu­a­tions. The mean­ing­ful and user-friend­ly mul­ti­col­or sta­tus dis­play intel­li­gent­ly guides users through their mea­sure­ments. Two demount­able vibra­tion dampers are suit­able for indi­vid­ual mount­ing.

With new Laser Tachome­ter 3 Rotec replaces the exist­ing gen­er­a­tion of the Laser Tachome­ter 2. The laser tachome­ter is used for speed mea­sure­ments togeth­er with the Rotec laser sen­sors, which scan a stitch disk or a ret­i­cle using the reflex method.

With Laser Tachome­ter 3, the han­dling of opti­cal speed mea­sure­ment tech­nol­o­gy has been fur­ther opti­mized for the user. This allows mea­sure­ment tasks to be car­ried out under dif­fi­cult oper­at­ing con­di­tions, the opti­mum elec­tri­cal oper­at­ing para­me­ters is stored auto­mat­i­cal­ly by the laser elec­tron­ics. As a result the user does not have to enter the test cab­in for stor­ing. If the user prefers man­u­al stor­ing of the oper­at­ing para­me­ters, he can deac­ti­vate this func­tion.

With the new laser elec­tron­ics, the user can per­form mea­sure­ments at high­er speeds while main­tain­ing a high res­o­lu­tion and num­ber of lines. Fur­ther­more, Laser Tachome­ter 3 guar­an­tees a high tem­per­a­ture sta­bil­i­ty, so that mea­sure­ments can be real­ized at fluc­tu­at­ing ambi­ent tem­per­a­tures.

With the mul­ti­col­or dis­play, the user can see the sta­tus of the elec­tron­ics from a dis­tance. This pro­vides him with mean­ing­ful infor­ma­tion about the oper­at­ing sta­tus and sig­nal qual­i­ty.

The hous­ing of the Laser Tachome­ter 3 comes with two remov­able vibra­tion dampers. This allows the user to mount it indi­vid­u­al­ly on the test set­up using the avail­able screw con­nec­tion option.

In addi­tion, users can choose between opti­mized Rotec zebra discs and bands in dif­fer­ent designs.

On request, cus­tomers can also receive com­pre­hen­sive instruc­tions on the appli­ca­tion of Rotec laser mea­sure­ment tech­nol­o­gy for auto­mat­ic butt joint cor­rec­tion when using line tapes.

Laser Tachome­ter 3 will be avail­able from mid-May 2021.
