Sikora offers now
the X-ray measuring
system X-RAY 6000 Pro
for the measurement
of up to three
insulation layers as
well as the X-RAY
6000 Basic, which
is used for quality
control of single layer
products. Both X-ray
measuring systems
assure a continuous
quality control to
fulfil the required
cable specifications
regarding wall
thickness, eccentricity
and diameter.
With the complement
of the X-RAY 6000
Basic to the Sikora
product portfolio,
manufacturers of
single layer products
get a powerful and
s i m u l t a n e o u s l y
c o s t - e f f i c i e n t
alternative to the
X-RAY 6000 Pro.
The Basic device is
equipped with an
integrated monitor
for measured value
display including
analysis software.
For the measurement of several insulation
layers the X-RAY 6000 Pro is available.
An innovation of the device is its 22" TFT
display and control system Ecocontrol
6000.
The monitor is arranged in vertical format
and shows simultaneously all measuring
values numerically as well as graphically
and also trend and statistic data. The
operation is via touchscreen.
Immediately with the online
measurement the values for wall
thickness, eccentricity, outer diameter
and ovality are accessible at the processor
system Ecocontrol 6000.
The wall thickness measuring values are
displayed at eight points and allow the
operator, with the help of the eccentricity
function, for optimally centring the
extrusion tool and to precisely control
wall thickness and diameter to the
nominal value.
