VI Systems GmbH (VIS), a supplier of optical engines and
components, has demonstrated an optical link operating a
serial transmission at a data rate of 12.5 Gbit/s over 1km
using Draka’s MaxCap-OM4 (50/125 µm) multimode fibre.

❍ ❍ The diameter gauge heads of
the Laser Series 6000
Measurement that
raises the bar: The
Laser Series 6000
MEASURING precision combined with outstanding
functionality and perfect design – these are the features of
the diameter gauge heads of the Laser Series 6000 for
continuous quality control in wire and cable production lines.
Regarding electronics of the gauges the Sikora-engineers
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 thus ensure optimum line control and reliable statistical
data.
The applicable design of 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 connection 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 product feeding. 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 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.
