The iiM GmbH’s Cable Measurement Engineering division carries out geometrical measurements, which specifically fulfill cable producers requirements to measure the geometrical features of insulating skins and cable sheaths, using devices of the VisioCablePro® series VCPLab, VCPX5 & AlphaOne, as well as the measuring software VELOX and the CAQ-System ProCable 3. The optical cable measuring devices of the VisioCablePro® series create high resolution colour video pictures of cable samples with a diameter up to 130 mm (5.11 Inch). The software VELOX helps to evaluate these pictures and by using the CAQ-system ProCable 3, the obtained results can be archived and orders can be managed.
The iiM GmbH, part of Union Park’s holding company Exaktera – develops high-quality solutions in optical metrology and LED lighting systems for Machine Vision. For over 25 years, the two business units have been serving various industries from our locations in Suhl, Augsburg, and Weißensberg.
The “Cable Measurement Engineering” division provides advanced solutions for quality assurance in cable production. The “LED Lighting” business unit, marketed under the LUMIMAX® brand, specializes in powerful LED lighting for Machine Vision applications. Supported by international sales and service offices, iiM serves customers worldwide.
Watch: Top Cable Companies in India
The brands VisioCablePro® and VisioTubePro®
VisioCablePro® offers high-precision testing and measuring equipment designed to simplify and improve tasks in any cable-testing laboratory or during the production process globally. The product portfolio includes highly accurate, user-friendly offline measuring devices for cable, hose, and tube cross-sections in combination with cable sample preparation devices for a perfectly parallel and smooth sample.
VisioCablePro® also provides innovative solutions for material tests (e.g. material slicing, punching dumb-bells, heat elongation) according to standards and software that seamlessly integrates measuring devices with external databases or VisioCablePro®’s proprietary CAQ software.
In addition, the brand VisioTubePro® extends this expertise to the plastics industry, offering specialized devices for measuring tube shell and jacket geometries. The precise test results enable optimised material consumption and efficient extruder adjustments, ensuring compliance with predefined tolerance limits. By integrating these measuring solutions, manufacturers enhance efficiency, improve product quality, and significantly reduce costs and material waste.
The Star Products: VCPX5, VCPLab, AlphaOne and VELOX
The primary goal of the measuring devices VCPX5, VCPLab, AlphaOne and their suitable software VELOX is standard-compliant measurement of the geometries of insulating jackets and cable sheathing with minimal effort. In combination with the VELOX software, the proven VCPX5 can be used both in the laboratory and directly in cable production. The compact AlphaOne is designed for seamless integration into production lines, while the VCPLab, equipped with high-resolution sensors, ensures exceptionally precise laboratory measurements. VELOX simplifies measurement by supporting custom geometry evaluations and calculating key characteristics such as volume and material overconsumption. These features help cable manufacturers optimise material use, leading to cost savings and improved sustainability. With its intuitive interface, VELOX ensures user-independent accuracy. To guarantee compliance with the latest industry standards, VELOX integrates up-to-date norms (including IEC 60811-201, -202, -203; LV112 (A-Factor); ICEA S-94-649, among others) meeting the stringent requirements of the cable industry. By combining precision technology with intelligent software, iiM GmbH drives efficiency, reduces waste, and ensures consistently high product quality in cable production and industrial measurement applications.
