Measuring and control technology for the wire and cable industry
Back
At this year’s wire Southeast Asia in Bangkok Sikora AG, manufacturer and worldwide vendor of measuring and control technology for the wire and cable industry will attract attention with the presentation of innovative technology. Sikora will showcase the Centerview 8000 with its 8-point-eccentricity and ovality measurement. This device is suitable for quality control during the production of communication, automotive and installation cables. Equally certain to generate a great deal of interest is the X-Ray 8000 NXT for eccentricity, wall thickness, ovality and diameter measurement of MV-, HV- and EHV- cables* in CCV-, VCV- and MDCV-lines**. In addition, Sikora presents the new X-RAY 6000 series for eccentricity, wall thickness, outer diameter and ovality measurement at insulating and jacketing lines. The X-RAY 6000 includes XLL-X-ray tubes (eXtra-Long-Life tubes) and provides a measuring rate of 1 to 3 Hz (optional 10, 100 Hz). Another highlight on the Sikora-booth is the Length 6000 for non-contact online measurement of cables. For this method, the product image and its movement are defined and thus the speed and the produced length calculated. At the wire Southeast Asia, Sikora will also introduce the second generation of its successful diameter Laser gauge heads. The new Laser Series 6000 includes a number of technological innovations, one being a measuring rate of 2.5 kHz.
* MV (Medium Voltage), HV (High Voltage), EHV (Extra High Voltage)
**CCV (Catenary Continuous Vulcanization), VCV (Vertical Continuous Vulcanization), MDCV (Mitsubishi Dainichi Continuous Vulcanization)
