Reliable with the highest accuracy

Measuring precision combined with outstanding functionality and perfect design – these are the features of the new gauge heads of the Laser Series 6000. This model range is more than a facelift of the successful 2000-series and achieves an even higher productivity. From now on customers get a two-year warranty for a gauge head on the Laser Series 6000. the Laser-devices, with small dimension and optional swivelling gauge head, includes a measuring value display directly at the gauge head for a further improvement. Moreover, there are no external plugs. A universal interface module is directly integrated into the gauge head. As a result the plugs as well as the cables are protected from any production influences. In addition, the gauge head opening of the Laser Series 6000 is twice as big as the measuring range. This wide opening as well as the big sight field allows for an easy cable feeding. Sikora engineers once again raised the bar: the devices have a measuring rate of 2,500 measurements per second with high single value precision independent from the position of the product within the measuring field and ensures optimum line control and reliable statistical data. The gauge heads do not include moving parts and maintain their accuracy during the entire operation time. Calibration procedures or maintenance are not necessary. The measuring devices cover diameter ranges from 0.25 to 80mm. In addition, Sikora offers further 2-axis diameter gauge heads for products from 0.05 to 500mm as well as 3-axis measuring devices for product diameters from 0.2 to 100mm.

Reliable spark tester Designed for diverse cable types, Sikora offers high frequency, DC and AC testers for reliable fault and bare wire detection.

All Spark testers include powerful signal processors. Spark 2000 UL, a high frequency high voltage spark tester with a robust bead chain electrode precisely detects defects in the insulation during the production. It is typically used for building wires, automotive wires and signal cables. The test voltage is continuously adjustable. Spark 2000 DC is a DC spark tester, especially developed for the testing of telephone wires, data cables and mini-coax cables with foam insulation. The solid electrode and the electronic box of the Spark Testers form one integral unit. Optionally, the display and control device Remote 2000 can be fully integrated.

also includes models for specific applications such as the Spark 2000 BS, a high voltage AC test device for cables with bigger diameters up to 200mm. All spark testers conform to approved test standards (AS, BS, CS, CENELEC, EN, UL, VDE) and safety regulations (as demanded by DIN/VDE 0800, IEC 479-1).
