Diameter measurement
with highly precise
surface inspection
FOR high-speed diameter measurement
and simultaneous lump detection of
hoses and tubes Sikora already offers
the Laser Series 6000. With the Tiger
Laser 6010 XY Sikora now presents
an additional innovative diameter
measuring system, with special
focus on the combination of diameter
measurement with lump inspection.
Characteristic for this gauge head
is the extremely precise and reliable
inspection of the product surface for
lumps and neckdowns. Optionally, the
Tiger Laser 6010 XY can be combined
with a device of the Ecocontrol-series
to visualise detected faults. With the
clear presentation manufacturers can
evaluate faults realistically. There is also
the possibility to store the pictures with
the processor system Ecocontrol.
The measuring principle of the Tiger
Laser 6010 XY is based on the analysis
of two high-resolution image sensors as
they are common in digital cameras. The
image sensors measure and inspect the
product from two measuring planes.
With this technology the surface profile
of the product is optimally inspected for
faults. Due to the high measuring rate,
the Tiger Laser 6010 XY detects lumps
with an even higher detection probability
than the Laser Series 6000. In particular
with the visualisation of the product
surface the lump can be assessed,
without a labour- or time-intensive
rewinding process.
Hose and tube manufacturers decide
for a device of the Laser Series 6000
for diameter measurement and fast
lump detection of products with a bigger
diameter from 0.2 to 78mm.
For diameter measurement and fast
lump detection of products with small
diameters from 0.1 to 10mm the Tiger
Laser 6010 XY is the optimum solution.
The Tiger Laser 6010 XY detects faults
with extremely high probability and
reliability. The manufacturer identifies
and evaluates the faults directly at the
Ecocontrol. As a result, labour- and time-
intensive rewinding processes can be
saved. Moreover, Sikora offers the Laser
Series 2000, which measures product
diameters from 50μm to 500mm.

One-stop shop for cold rolling
THE Atlas brand (DB Engg) was formed
60 years ago, and has evolved to
become one of India’s largest tool equip-
ment manufacturers, currently with over
600 employees and an annual turnover
of over $20mn. The forming rolls
division was established 25 years ago,
and produces over 24,000 rolls per year.
With specialist knowledge of various
steel grades gained over six decades,
and with an in-house design team, the
company provides a complete one-stop
shop for customers in the cold rolling
industry.
By incorporating world-leading roll
forming software the company is able
to provide technical advice on rolls and
optimisation of production processes.
This approach, combined with ISO-
certified quality standards, has helped
Atlas to become a leading Indian
manufacturer of rolls for the production
of tubes and other roll formed open and
closed sections.
The company can design and
produce tube forming and open section-
forming rolls ranging from 50 to 800mm
in diameter. Before production all roll
designs undergo a simulation and finite
element analysis to achieve ameticulous
final product. All manufacturing is
done in the company’s state-of-the-art
manufacturing workshop with over 15
CNC turning centres.
The ISO-certified in-house heat
treatment facility has a capacity of over
300tn/month, allowing the company to
maintain world-class standards for all of
its products.
Over the last few years the company
has made significant inroads in the
worldwide tube and section manu-
facturing industry by supplying to
Australia, North and South Africa, the Far
East, Canada, Russia, the Middle East,
Europe, and various mill OEMs in India.
