Wire for all purposes

Coding and printing for cable Leibinger manufactures coding systems and continuous inkjet technology for fast, non-contact marking. Leibinger inkjet printers use an automatic nozzle seal to prevent drying or clogging even after a long machine shutdown. The nozzle seal is also said to guarantee a printer start without flushing processes or cleaning procedures. Several device alternatives and accessories are available for individual adjustment of the inkjet printer for special applications. Leibinger’s range includes a high-end printer, JET3, with special functions including a graphics and font editor for individual designs, and the Matrix and Linescan camera systems for highest security in product marking. The cameras can be easily combined with the inkjet printers to offer reliable control in product marking from one source.

Improving production in cable lines

Since 1993 Sikora has offered X-ray measuring devices for eccentricity, wall thickness, ovality and diameter of medium, high and extra-high voltage cables in CCV-, VCV- and MDCV-lines. Since then over 600 X-ray 8000 systems have been sold worldwide. Now, Sikora offers a variety of technological improvements with the X-ray 8000 NXT, which helps to further optimise the productivity of production lines. Multi-sensor technology (MST) and two high-speed scanners ensure a reliable online measurement. With every scan the MST measures the vertical speed of the cable and thus compensates vibration. The measuring values are available within seconds of start-up of the line. Warm up and/or calibration are not required. Wall thickness and eccentricity values are displayed at 8-points for three insulation layers at the new 19" TFT monitor for quick centring of the extrusion tools. X-ray 8000 NXT uses ceramic and NTX-windows (non-toxic X-ray windows). These windows separate the scanners from the pressure in the CV-line. The surfaces of the windows do not react with by-products that occur during the cross linking of the polyethylene material and thus remain permanently clean. The measuring system is equipped with XLL-X-ray tubes (eXtra Long Life). These tubes contribute to a long operation time with highest accuracy and reliability.
