Sikora’s first gauge with LED
light source
Sikora has launched the newly developed LED 8025 XY, for the measurement of
several cable types, including those with a transparent insulation layer.
The latest LED-diodes combined with high resolution CCD-lines create the
foundations of the measuring device.
With the help of powerful software,
the shadow width of the measuring
object is calculated and the outer
diameter precisely defined.
For the measurement of cables which
have a transparent insulation layer,
the LED 8025 XY provides optimum
reliability. The integration of state-
of-the-art SMD technology ensures
the gauge head is very small and can
easily be installed into any production
line. The LED 8025 XY is designed
for product diameters from 0.25 to
25mm.
The gauge head is equipped with vertically arranged glass windows, which offer
protection against dirt. Additionally, the LED 8025 XY is open at the bottom,
which prevents both dirt and water contaminating the measuring area. The device
is equipped with an RS 485 serial interface and RS 232 diagnostic interface for
direct connection of a line control system or Sikora’s Remote 2000 or Ecocontrol
600, 1000 and 2000 control devices. Optional Ethernet RJ45, Profibus interface
or analogue outputs are also available.
