Sikora’s first gauge with LED light source Sikora has launched the newly developed LED 8025 XY, for the measurement of several cable types, including those with a transparent insulation layer. The latest LEDs, combined with high resolution CCD-lines, create the foundations of the measuring device.

With the help of powerful software, the shadow width of the measuring object is calculated and the outer diameter precisely defined. For the measurement of cables which have a transparent insulation layer, the LED 8025 XY provides optimum reliability. The integration of state-of-the-art SMD technology ensures the gauge head is very small and can easily be installed into any production line. The LED 8025 XY is designed for product diameters from 0.25 to 25mm. The gauge head is equipped with vertically arranged glass windows,

which offer protection against dirt. Additionally, the LED 8025 XY is open at the bottom, which prevents both dirt and water contaminating the measuring area. The device is equipped with an RS 485 serial interface and RS 232 diagnostic interface for direct connection of a line control system or Sikora’s Remote 2000 or Ecocontrol 600, 1000 and 2000 control devices. Optional Ethernet RJ45, Profibus interface or analogue outputs are also available.
