Each rated cable is required to have a certain specified thickness to ensure that the insulation has sufficient thickness to bear voltage stresses without failure. These standard insulation thickness are available in various national publications.<\/p>\n

However, controlling insulation thickness during manufacturing is a complex process. Often times the thickness could be less than or more than the optimal thickness. Whereas less than optimum thickness will result in rejection of the lot; a more than optimum thickness will lead to wastage of insulation material costing thousands of dollars each year.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

The following factors affect image quality with a direct bearing on measured results.<\/p>\n

\n
1. Cable Cross-section Slicing Procedure: The samples must be cut parallel (i.e the plane of the knife should be parallel to the cable face) so as to have uniform thickness.\u00a0 Use of a cable slicing machine is recommended however if the same is not available, and a knife is used instead, please make sure that samples have uniform thickness<\/li>\n
2. Lens Type - A telecentric lens has a zero angular filed of view that eliminates parallax error producing an un-distorted image.<\/li>\n
3. Camera Resolution - A higher resolution camera depending on the max diameter to be measured i.e. 5MP\/10MP\/ 15MP should be used.<\/li>\n
4. Collimated Light - Light with parallel rays\u00a0 helps in reproducing a true image without any distortion.<\/li>\n
5. Flatness of Work Platform - The glass platform should be flat within 0.040mm so that it does not affect the results.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
