With the new temperature measurement, precision with Sikora’s
Wire-Temp 6000 reaches levels never seen before at the heating of a
conductor with a conductor preheating.
The name says it all: The Wire-Temp 6000 continuously measures and
controls contact-free the temperature of the conductor at the output
of the Preheater 6000 with a permanent precise actual value of the
conductor temperature for all conductor cross-sections, at all line speeds.
Thus, the Wire-Temp 6000 raises the benchmark for conductor preheaters
to a completely new level.
During production there are numerous influences on the accuracy of the
conductor temperature.
Examples are the ambient temperature, the initial temperature of the
conductor and, in particular, the development of the temperature of
the so called ‘short-circuit wheel’ within the first 10 to 20 minutes after
starting the production or after an interruption of the production.
The new Wire-Temp 6000 considers these factors and determines the
conductor temperature independently from cross-section, material and
surface structure of the conductor.
The Wire-Temp 6000 is optionally integrated in the proven preheater
system Preheater 6000 and can easily be retrofitted in existing devices. In
addition, it is available as an independent system without the Preheater
6000.
