single and multi-layer products. The systems
are designed for continuous measurement
of the outer diameter, wall thickness,
eccentricity and ovality of cables. In
combination with the processor system
Ecocontrol 600/1000/6000 an automatic
control of the line speed and extruder rpm
under consideration of the minimum values
is possible.
The Laser Series 2000 is for classic diameter
measurement in two or three planes,
covering product diameters from 0.05
to 500mm. Furthermore, the high-end
Laser Series 6000 will be displayed. These
diameter-measuring devices meet the
current high-end requirements in the wire
and cable industry. The gauges fulfill all
needs regarding high accuracy, a variety
of interface connection options and utmost
reliability for a quality control at its best
during wire and cable production. The high
accuracy allows in addition for thedetection
of lumps and neckdowns. Three high-end
gauges are available for product diameters
from 0.2 to 78mm.
Also on display will be the Centerview 8000,
which measures eccentricity, diameter and
ovality of coaxial cables, LAN cables as
well as automotive and installation cables.
Optionally integrated in the Centerview
8000e is a 7" TFT monitor, which displays
production data. A special feature is the
so-called scatter plot, which shows the
distribution of short-term variations of the
eccentricity. The scatter plot is an alternative
style visual view of the measurements being
made at the processor system Ecocontrol or
the integrated TFT monitor. The operation is
intuitive and menu-driven via touch screen.
For quality control during the production of
MV-, HV- and EHV-cables in CCV-, VCV- and
MDCV-lines Sikora provides the X-Ray 8000
NXT. It is used for precisemeasurement of the
wall thickness of all three layers (concentricity,
diameter and ovality). Measuring values for
centeringandcontrol are thereforeavailable
immediately after starting up the line.
Additionally, the two or three-axis lump
detectors Lump 2000 XY/T will be exhibited.
The heart of the Lump 2000 device is the
advanced double sensor technology, which
detects punctual non-conformities on the
cable surface even at high line speeds.

Ultimate Automation Ltd
Booth 458
Ultimat has been designing and
manufacturing innovative CNC wire
forming and welding machines, used for
the manufacture of a wide range of wire
products from POP displays to automotive
components, since 1991.
The range includes the well-established
Ultimat UMW series of 2D wire forming and
welding machines, which feature a robust,
modern, modular design, and user-friendly
Windows-based software.
All Ultimat models feature a “closed die”
forming and cutting system, giving a high
quality square, burr-free cut and butt weld.
Options available include secondary bend
heads, press tools, drilling, threading and
chamfering stations, and automatic part
unloading systems.
The company will be displaying the latest
version of the Ultimat UMW-100 2D wire
forming and welding machine, suitable for
a range of 3-10mm (0.12"-0.395"), which
incorporates faster drives and new software
and control systems.
The UMW can be combined with the
innovative UCW series of machines, to
create a fully integrated forming and
welding cell, with rectangular butt-welded
frames being produced directly from coil,
on the UMW-100 wire forming and welding
machine, and then the completed frame
being transferred into the UCW-100 where
the frames support/brace wire is fed direct
from coil, straightened, cut to length and
welded into the butt welded frame.
Ultimat has a machine to suit everyone’s
requirement from the manufacture of
point of purchase displays, to lampshades,
supermarket shelving and automotive
components.
