A broad range of innovations as well as
proven technology for quality control and
cost saving will be on display at Sikora’s
stand. These include:
Purity scanner: The newly developed
purity scanner is a system for the online
inspection and sorting of plastic pellets
used for the insulation of medium, high
and extra-high voltage cables, but also for
applications such as the medical industry.
Contaminated pellets are separated and
blown out, assuring that only pure pellets
get into the extrusion process. The pellet
inspection allows the detection of organic
and metallic contaminations inside the
pellet as well as on the pellet surface,
using a special combination of X-ray
technology and an optical system. The
smallest detectable particle size is 50µm at
a ow rate of up to 2,000kg/h.
Laser series 2000 and 6000: In addition
to the successful diameter gauges of the
classic-line Laser Series 2000, Sikora o ers
the top-line Laser Series 6000.
These diameter-measuring devices are
speci cally designed for sophisticated
customer requirements that exceed
the classic demands in the wire and
cable industry. The gauges ful l all
needs regarding high accuracy, a variety
of interface connection options and
reliability for quality control at its best. The
high accuracy also allows the detection of
lumps and neckdowns. Three gauges are
available for di erent product diameters
from 0.2 to 78mm.
Preheater 6000 TC: This represents the
optimum solution for the controlled
preheating of conductors and sets the
basis for the production of a broad cable
type array at high quality. The system
heats the conductor inductively up to
the nominal value. An infrared camera
measures the wire temperature at the
outlet of the Preheater wheel. A control
module supervises and sets the power
setting of the device, assuring that the
conductor is always at the speci ed
temperature. The preheater TC is available
in three power classes (10, 20 and 30kW)
for preheating temperatures of up to
150°C (optionally 250°C), for a product
diameter from 0.32 to 2.8mm.
Wire-temp 6000: This is a system
for
continuous
online
temperature
measurement of metallic and insulated
conductors on a non-contact basis, and is
now available as an independent device.
As the temperature measurement is done
by means of a thermal image sensor in an
infrared camera, the conductor is always
reliably detected with its wide measuring
range. The system covers product dia-
meters from 0.1 to 10mm and 0.15 to
100mm.
Other highlights: In addition to the latest
technological highlights, Sikora shows
among others the Tiger Laser 6010 XY for
diameter measurement and simultaneous
lump detection, as well as the 2 or 3-axis
lump detectors Lump 2000 XY/T.
For online quality control and optimisation
of the material usage for increased
productivity during extrusion, Sikora
o ers the well-proven X-Ray 6000 for
single-layered cables and the X-Ray 6000
Pro for multi-layered products.
The X-Ray 6000 series is interesting for the
continuous measurement of the diameter,
wall thickness, eccentricity and ovality
in wire and cable production lines. In
combination with the processor system
Ecocontrol 600, 1000 or 6000, automatic
control of the line is possible.
Also on display will be the X-Ray 8000 NXT
for quality control during the production
of MV, HV and EHV cables in CCV-, VCV-
and MDCV-lines.
The X-Ray 8000 NXT is recognised as an
industrial standard. It is used for precise
measurement of the wall thickness of all
three layers (concentricity, diameter and
ovality). Measuring values for centring
and control are therefore available
immediately after starting up the line.
