Sikora now offers the X-ray measuring system X-RAY 6000 Pro for the measurement of up to three insulation layers as well
as the X-RAY 6000 Basic, which is used for quality control of single layer products. Both X-ray measuring systems assure a
continuous quality control to fulfil the required cable specifications regarding wall thickness, eccentricity and diameter.
With the complement of the X-RAY 6000 Basic to the Sikora product portfolio,
manufacturers of single layer products get a powerful and simultaneously
cost-efficient alternative to the X-RAY 6000 Pro.
The Basic device is equipped with an integrated monitor for measured value
display including analysis software. For the measurement of several insulation
layers the X-RAY 6000 Pro is available. An innovation of the device is its 22”
TFT display and control system Ecocontrol 6000.
The monitor is arranged in vertical
format and shows simultaneously all
measuring values numerically as well
as graphically and also trend and
statistic data. The operation is via
touchscreen.
Immediately with the online
measurement the values for wall
thickness, eccentricity, outer diameter
and ovality are accessible at the
processor system Ecocontrol 6000.
The wall thickness measuring values
are displayed at eight points and
allow the operator, with the help of
the eccentricity function, for optimally
centring the extrusion tool and to
precisely control wall thickness and
diameter to the nominal value.
