Wire, Cable and Tube Measurement
and Quality Control Solutions
Wire, cable and tube manufacturers require accurate measurement systems to maintain product quality, improve process stability and reduce production losses. CERSA MCI develops inline and offline measurement solutions designed for demanding production environments where precision, reliability and defect detection are essential.
Using advanced optical measurement technologies, CERSA MCI instruments provide contactless, vibration-independent measurements without moving mechanical parts. This ensures highly accurate, repeatable measurements and reliable operation, even on high-speed production lines.
Inline and Offline Measurement Solutions
CERSA MCI offers a complete range of inline and offline measurement solutions for wire, cable and tube production. Inline measurement systems continuously monitor production parameters during wire drawing and extrusion processes. They enable manufacturers to control diameter variations, ovality and surface defects in real time, allowing rapid process adjustments while reducing scrap and improving product quality.
Offline measurement systems are designed for incoming inspection, laboratory analysis and quality verification. They are particularly well suited for very fine diameters and applications requiring detailed geometry or surface inspection of wire, cable and tube samples.
Why Measurement Matters in Wire, Cable and Tube Production
Accurate dimensional control is essential to meet customer specifications and maintain consistent product quality. Continuous monitoring allows manufacturers to detect process deviations early, improve production stability and reduce material waste.
Key parameters monitored during production include:
∙ Diameter consistency
∙ Ovality and non-circularity
∙ Surface defect detection
∙ Lump and neckdown detection
∙ Process stability
∙ Quality assurance
∙ Scrap reduction

The DLN - All in One Solution
The DLN range offers ultra-fast, high-precision real-time measurement for fine wires, cables, and tubes. It simultaneously measures three independent diameters and detects geometric defects with exceptional resolution.
With 750,000 diameter measurements per second (250,000 per axis), its CMOS sensors ensure accuracy even in case of vibrations, thanks to a 1µs exposure time. The system operates without moving parts, ensuring maximum reliability in industrial environments.
Fully integrated with optics and electronics, the DLN requires no external computing unit, making it a robust and efficient all-in-one solution.
Surface defect measurement
SQMF : surface defect detector.

CIM Software - Instrument manager
CERSA-MCI has developed its own PC Software for managing its instruments. CIM provides real-time measurement display and automatic instrument parameter settings according to customer product characteristics. It also records all the measurements and events in a database.
2 different versions are available for wire & cable measurements, depending on use and requirements:
The PROD version has been developed for IN-LINE applications. Adjustment of tolerances and a triggering threshold are specific features for the production environment.
The LAB version has been developed for OFF-LINE applications. This version allows you to classify samples by customizable fields, keep records and generate reports, as well as extract the data to.csv file.
