Sikora presents the new diameter
gauges of the Laser Series 6000 for online
diameter measurement during wire and
cable production.
With an outstanding high measuring rate
of 2,500 measurements per second, all
measurements show an extremely high
single value precision which are decisive
in order to define the fluctuation range of
diameter values of a product.
Only an instrument which itself has a
significantly lower fluctuation range than
the product to be measured is capable
of providing a representative value. The
Laser Series 6000 is able to take single
measurements of the diameter with high
precision and low fluctuation.
Therefore, the devices ensure an optimum
line control and provide reliable statistical
data. By means of an integratedmeasuring
value display in the gauge head the
operator gets the accurate diameter value
at one glance.
The opening of the gauge head is directed
to the bottom and is twice as big as the
measuring range, which allows for an easy
product feed through. Directly integrated
in the gauge head is a pluggable universal
interface module for all connections.
In this position it is optimally protected
against water, dirt or mechanical
influences during the production. There
are no external plugs. As there are no
moving parts, the gauge heads maintain
their accuracy during the entire operation.
Calibration procedures or maintenance
are not necessary.
The product range of Sikora’s Laser
devices includes dual as well as triple axis
gauge heads and covers diameter ranges
from 0.05 to 500mm.
