value display in the gauge head the operator gets the accurate diameter value at one glance. The opening of the gauge head is directed to the bottom and is twice as big as the measuring range, which allows for an easy product feed through. Directly integrated in the gauge head is a pluggable universal interface module for all connections. In this position it is optimally protected against water, dirt or mechanical influences during the production. There are no external plugs. As there are no moving parts, the gauge heads maintain their accuracy during the entire operation. Calibration procedures or maintenance are not necessary. The product range of Sikora’s Laser devices includes dual as well as triple axis gauge heads and covers diameter ranges

Sikora presents the new diameter gauges of the Laser Series 6000 for online diameter measurement during wire and cable production. With an outstanding high measuring rate of 2,500 measurements per second, all measurements show an extremely high single value precision which are decisive in order to define the fluctuation range of diameter values of a product. Only an instrument which itself has a significantly lower fluctuation range than the product to be measured is capable of providing a representative value. The Laser Series 6000 is able to take single measurements of the diameter with high precision and low fluctuation. Therefore, the devices ensure an optimum line control and provide reliable statistical data. By means of an integratedmeasuring
