Wire & Cable India 2014

28 th- 30 th October

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). Measuring values for centring and control are therefore available immediately after starting up the line. Sikora AG – Germany Website : www.sikora.net Tecno l is a prominent market player in the wire industry, specialised in the production of low and medium carbon steel wires and in the manufacture and supply of machines for the production of steel wire and wirebands. One of the key points that di erentiates Tecno l Machinery Division is its overall control of design and production and the possibility to deliver tailor-made, e cient and user-friendly solutions, starting from the speci c needs of the clients. Tecno l produces every single part of the machines, from carpentry to high precision mechanics, from electrical equipment to the software, following the test phase. Tecno l Stand: 1D26

highest quality. The system inductively heats up the conductor to the nominal value. An infrared camera measures the wire temperature at the outlet of the Preheater wheel. A control module supervises and controls the power setting of the device with high accuracy, assuring that the conductor temperature always has the speci ed temperature. The Preheater 6000 TC is available in three power classes (10, 20 and 30kW) for preheating temperatures of up to 150°C (optionally 250°C), for a product diameter from 0.32 to 2.8mm. Fiber Series 6000: Quality control of optical bres in the drawing tower. The Fiber Laser 6003 measures the diameter of uncoated and coated bres. Depending on its point of installation, it provides information on the position, vibration frequency, tension and spinning. The measuring principle ensures an accuracy of ±0.05 µm. For the detection of airlines Sikora o ers the Fiber Laser 6003 Airline. In addition, the gauge heads provide information on concentricity and temperature of the optical bre. The newly developed Fiber Lump 6003 Micro detects lumps and neckdowns on the optical bre surface to 100 per cent. This is the result of the integration of six measuring axes. Shadow areas are eliminated and even the smallest faults from 5µm height and 50µm length are reliably detected. 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 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.

with automatic tension control for telephone cables. PS 600/25: suitable for exible cables from 8 to 25mm diameter; solid cables from 8 to 20mm diameter with a production of 2.5 to 3 coils 100m long per minute. PS 750/30: suitable for exible cables from 8 to 30mm diameter with a production of 2.5 coils 100m long per minute. PS Costruzioni Meccaniche has been designing and manufacturing wire and cable packaging plants for over 35 years. It can meet any customer requirements thanks to its in-house departments: machine tools, electric and electronic, assembling and inspection, design and development, spares, and customer care. PS Costruzioni Meccaniche Srl – Italy Website : www.pscostruzioni.com Sikora will be presenting a broad product range of innovations as well as proven technology for quality control and cost saving in wire and cable production. Purity Scanner: 100 per cent pellet inspection. This will be the highlight on the stand. It is a system for the online inspection and sorting of plastic pellets used for the insulation of medium-, high- and extra-high voltage cables, but also other applications such as in the medical industry. Contaminated pellets are detected and sorted out, assuring that only pure pellets get into the extrusion process. The pellet inspection allows the detection of organic and metallic contamination inside the pellet as well as on the pellet surface, using a special combination of X-ray technology and an optical system. The smallest detectable particle size is 50 µm at a ow rate of up to 2,000kg/h. Sikora Stand: 1D13
