powerful gauge head is suitable for use at
virtually any point on the production line.
The Laser 2000 series features highly
durable laser diodes, and avoids
maintenance due to a measurement
principle requiring no moving parts. The
mean time between failures – the average
time after which a device shows a repairable
defect – is claimed to be 15 years.
Several of the laser systems (Laser 2030
XY to Laser 2300 XY) feature a swivelling
gauge head that can fold upwards from the
working area, protecting the gauge head
from dirt and water drops falling into the
measuring area.

is approximately 300t of fittings and 400t of

Sikora AG, Germany, is an expert in the field
of measurement, control and test equipment.
The company manufactures the Laser
2000 series of measurement and control
equipment for all kinds of tube and hose.
The smallest gauge head in the range,
the Laser 2010 XY, offers XY-diameter
measurement for product diameters from
0.1mm to 10mm. Progressive CCD-
technique, in combination with impulse-driven
laser diodes and powerful processors, allow
short exposure times of 0.2µsec, providing
precise, non-contact measurement.
Product vibrations have no influence on the
measurement, and the gauge head does
not include any optical elements. The small,
linkable with basket handling systems and

They provide an easily integrated solution
to embrace a changing tube market.
