Laser Series 2000 and 6000 : High-speed diameter measurement and lump detection. In addition to the diameter gauges of the Laser Series 2000, Sikora o ers the top-line Laser Series 6000. These diameter-measuring devices are speci cally designed for sophisticated customer requirements that exceed the classic demands in the wire and cable industry. The gauges ful l all needs regarding highest accuracy, a variety of interface connection options and reliability for quality control during wire and cable production. The high accuracy also allows the detection of lumps and neckdowns. Three gauges are available for di erent product diameters from 0.2 to 78mm. Sikora will also show the Centerview 8000e, which measures eccentricity, diameter and ovality of coaxial cables, LAN cables and automotive and installation cables. The company will exhibit the 2- or 3-axis lump detectors Lump 2000 XY/T. For online quality control and optimisation of the material usage for increased productivity during extrusion, there is

Measuring values for centring and control are therefore available immediately after starting up the line. Sikora AG – Germany Website : www.sikora.net

Spirka Schnell echter Stand: W1F39

The increasing demand for cables with larger diameters for infrastructure projects, shipyard cables, o shore cables and mining cables is also making greater demands for braiders suitable for bigger cable diameters and cross sections. Spirka Schnell echter o ers a compre- hensive product portfolio of 24, 32 and 36 carrier braiding machines in vertical and horizontal applications, as well as for combination machines like taping units, payo s and take-ups for reels up to 2,500mm ange diameter. These braiding machines have an application range for cables up to 65mm and steel and copper wires up to 0.4mm diameter, and are also suitable for high tensile steel wires and thread tension up to 120 N. ➣➢➣

the X-Ray 6000 for single-layered cables and the X-Ray 6000 Pro for multi-layered products. The X-Ray 6000 series allows continuous measurement of the diameter, wall thickness, eccentricity and ovality in wire and cable production lines. In combination with the processor system Ecocontrol 600, 1000 or 6000, an automatic control of the line is possible. For quality control during the production of MV, HV and EHV cables in CCV-, VCV- and MDCV-lines Sikora will showcase the X-Ray 8000 NXT, used for precise measurement of the wall thickness of all three layers (concentricity, diameter and ovality). ▲ One of Sikora’s highlights at wire China, the Purity Scanner
