Bronx International joins Fives
SIKORA AG, manufacturer and worldwide
vendor of measuring and control technology
for the hose and tube industry, will attract
attention with the presentation of cutting
edge technology at the Chinaplas in
Guangzhou, China.
A highlight on the Sikora booth is the new
X-RAY 6000 series for the measurement
of eccentricity, wall thickness, inner and
outer diameter and ovality at hose and
tube extrusion lines. The X-RAY 6000
includes XLL-X-ray tubes (eXtra-Long-Life
tubes) and provides a measuring rate of
1 to 3Hz (optional 10, 100Hz).
Sikora is also showcasing the new
ULTRATEMP 6000 for online temperature
measurement of the melt of plastic materials
in the hose and tube extrusion. Besides
temperature measurement, the device
detects inhomogeneities in the melt.
Another highlight on the Sikora booth is
the LENGTH 6000 for non-contact online
measurement of produced lengths of hoses
and tubes. For this method, the product
image and its movement are defined and
thus the speed and the produced length
calculated.
At Chinaplas, Sikora will introduce
the second generation of its successful
diameter LASER gauge heads. The new
LASER Series 6000 includes a number
of technological innovations, one being a
measuring rate of 2.5kHz.
