Conductor preheater
During the manufacture of data cables,
a reliable conductor preheating is
required to ensure optimum adhesion
of the insulation on the wire. For
these applications Sikora offers the
preheating system, Preheater 6000.
The Preheater 6000 is positioned
before the extruder and preheats the
wire by means of inductive heating
from 100°C to 180°C, depending on
product type.
Sikora offers the device with its own
processor system, Ecocontrol 600,
directly integrated in the pre-heater
housing. The Ecocontrol 600 displays
the product and production para-
meters numerically and graphically on
a clear 8.4" TFT monitor. Moreover, it
includes a trend display of the relevant
data, such as temperature and line
speed. An integrated product library
stores and recalls product recipes.
To ensure a stable temperature and
optimum adhesion the required power
is calculated by the Preheater 6000,
depending on line speed and product
diameter.
A change of line set up with the
Preheater 6000 is possible in
combination with several interfaces
such as Profibus-DP.
