SIF
Stand: 09C76
SIF will use wire 2012 to present its
measuring devices control, allowing
customers to try out and gain hands-on
experience of the innovative systems.
Research and development have become a
key part of the SIF process in creating high
performance equipment. This policy has
enabled it to achieve the complete
satisfaction of even the most demanding
customers. This particularly relates to the
STM family spark tester.
The effort and investment that has gone
into improving quality, to enabling a flexible
supply and to searching for innovative
solutions that can facilitate the customer’s
work and improved performance have once
again been rewarded.
STM250 – flex, Spark Tester for
multi-product flexible lines is the new
evolution of the concept linked to STM
technology, which has enabled the
development of an intelligent spark tester.
Main points of this new spark tester
include:
• Just one spark tester to test cables
from Ø0.5mm to Ø90mm
• Major reduction in maintenance costs
as the bead chain electrode is just
200mm long
• Eliminates the problems of incorrect
fault detection, thanks to the SIF
sefco@ function
• Complies with international standards
including high speed lines
• Standard instrumentation can be used
to calibrate the spark tester
• Reduces encumbrance on the line as it
is a compact model
• Easy to install
• User-friendly
• Wide range of utilities already included
• Complies with safety regulations

Sikora AG
Stand: 09A41
Sikora, a manufacturer and worldwide
seller of measuring and control technology
for the wire and cable industry, will among
others attract attention with the
presentation of its sophisticated equipment
for professional measurement in the fibre
drawing tower.
The Fibre Laser 6003 is an advanced
device for diameter measurement of bare
and coated fibres. The unique measuring
principle ensures an accuracy of ±0.05μm.
The 2,500 measurements per second, all
with single value precision and a short
exposure time, guarantee highest accuracy
– even at high draw speeds.
Besides the diameter the device calculates
the position of the fibre in the measuring
field. The single values of the fibre position
are graphically displayed at the processor
system of the Ecocontrol series in the form
of a cloud diagram providing information on
the stability of the tension control.
All statistical analyses are directly taken in
the gauge head. By using an FFT-analysis
the tension, the spinning and the vibration
frequency of the fibre in the measuring field
can accurately be defined.
Non-conformities during the drawing
process and coating caused by variations
of the line speed or vibrating (oscillating)
fibres are discovered at an early stage.
Besides diameter measurement, lump
detectors are essential for continuous
quality control in drawing towers. The Fiber
Lump 6003 offers the most reliable
detection of smallest lumps and neck-
downs down to a size of 5μm.
In combination with its unique double
sensor technology, punctual non-
conformities in the surface are detected
even at production speed of up to 3,000 m/
min. The faults are analysed regarding type,
dimension, length and position.
