and on the circumference while in the same position, by using a conveying device with a rapid 90° pivot. Universal machines (ULUs) of a larger size can also be supplied. In addition to the universal machine, other standard machines are available. The company also has in-depth knowledge of feeding, conveying, handling and automation of parts. ASD is also an expert in the field of drive technology, low backlash and highly dynamic positioning drives for robots, machine tools, handling, automation, gearboxes and gear motors.

afterwards. With the measuring values available immediately at the start-up of the line and with the continuous measurement, the X-Ray 2060 becomes a critical tool. It is of essential importance for tube and hose extrusion lines where, beside tight tolerances for the products, the economy of production and quality control are important. The measurement of wall thickness, eccentricity as well as the inner and outer diameter is increasingly important in global competition. For customers in the hose and tube industry two criteria are of main importance: continuous quality assurance and the reduction of material over consumption to achieve a lasting cost reduction. The X-Ray 2060 guarantees a continuous online quality control and thus provides the highest technological potential for savings with regard to the elimination of start-up scrap and material over consumption.

Sikora, Germany, has introduced the latest development to X-Ray 2060 with a new measuring range of 70mm instead of 60mm. This improvement will be of particular use to the area of composite tube production where it will be used for measuring ranges adapted to the specific field of application. The X-Ray 2060 is best equipped for online quality control of the inner and outer diameter, wall thickness, ovality and eccentricity on hose and tube extrusion lines. With x-ray technology, the hose or tube is transilluminated by x-ray. Measuring values are continuously available within fractions of a second. Users of the X-Ray 2060 can achieve a fast centring of the crosshead and a permanent measurement as well as control of the extrusion line under consideration of the minimum values. The measuring values of the X-Ray 2060 are displayed graphically and numerically on a 15" TFT-colour monitor on the processor system Ecocontrol 2000. In case of an eccentricity, the wall thickness is displayed as an eccentric ring. In the graphical display, the position where the wall thickness is thinnest is highlighted as a bright coloured segment. As standard, the X-Ray 2060 provides a statistical evaluation of the measuring values, which are graphically displayed in a length or time related diagram in combination with a graphic display for the statistical distribution
