Wire & Cable ASIA – May/June 2009 59
Sikora’s non-contact measurement devices cover a wide range of applications
such as diameter, wall thickness, ovality and eccentricity measurements.
The systems, based on premium laser,
LED, ultrasonic and X-ray technology,
are suitable for production lines for LAN,
RF, coaxial, telephone cables, cables with
transparent insulation layers, automotive
and building wires, optical fibres, jacket-
ing and sheathing lines as well as CCV-,
VCV-, MDCV- and SIOPLAS-lines.
All measurement systems offer calibration-
free, reliable online measurement and
control of the relevant product parameters.
The mean time between failures (MTBF),
an indicator of the average rate at which
equipment shows a repairable defect, is
approximately 15 years for the diameter
gauges of the Laser 2000 series, even
under extreme production conditions.

Tension meter range
Tensitron Inc has announced the release of its new CX series of digital cable
tension meters. Available in several ranges up to a maximum of 2,000 lb, these
portable instruments are used to measure tensions in flexible constructions up to
3/4" in diameter.
Standard features include
selectable tension values
in lb, kg or Newtons, min/
max running line values,
automatic shut-off after
10 minutes of non-use,
battery charge level, selec-
table back lighting and
display refresh rates.
Up to ten calibrations can
be programmed into the
instrument to suit differently
sized materials. Selecting
the cable size from the menu
will automatically adjust the
instrument calibration.
Optional features include data-logging, RS-232 serial interface, analogue
outputting and heavy-duty plastic cases. All models are supplied factory-
calibrated with appropriate calibration certification.
