    AccuScan 6050 Made for measurements of up to 50mm, this new four-axis ovality gauge from NDC Technologies Ltd., Essex, England, performs 9,600 scans per second, allowing it to instantly detect changes in product diameter. It's suitable for a wide range of applications and products, include plastic pipe and tube. The sensor is part of the Beta LaserMike brand portfolio.

    What's new? Capability to measure even bigger products. The AccuScan 6050 is based on the AccuScan 6012, which was released last year and measures products up to 12mm.
