New single fibre assemblies
To allow the use of fibre optics in
potentially damaging environments,
Fiberguide Industries has introduced
a new standard line of single fibre
assemblies. Fiberguide’s assemblies have
proved effective in a number of scientific
and industrial applications ranging from
light measurement, process monitoring
and control, to UV-VIS spectroscopy,
chromatography and fluorescence.
Single fibre assemblies are available
with two choices of chemical resistant,
non-magnetic sheathing. For general
purpose use, Fiberguide’s furcation
tubing is comprised of a Kevlar reinforced
PVC sleeve over a polypropylene tube.
Furcation tubing is non-conductive and
protects fibres with a liquid-tight seal.
For more specialised applications, Fiber-
guide offers stainless steel monocoil
sheathing.
The monocoil is vacuum compatible and resistant to tight bending, crushing, cutting, kinking and high temperatures. Both
standard cable designs are rated for use at ambient temperatures. Single fibre assemblies are available with core sizes ranging from
50µ to 1000µ and wavelengths from deep UV (DUV) to UV-VIS and VIS-IR. Assemblies are also available upon request with
ST and FC connectors and in continuous lengths up to 50m.

Diameter measurement with
high single value precision
Sikora presents the new Laser Series 6000 for online diameter measurement during
wire and cable production.
With a measuring rate of 2,500 measurements per second, all measurements show
an extremely high single value precision. Precise single values are decisive in order to
define the fluctuation range of diameter values of a product. Only an instrument with
a significantly lower fluctuation range than the product to be measured is capable of
providing a representative value.
The Laser Series 6000 is able to take single measurements of the diameter with high
precision and low fluctuation, and therefore ensures an optimum line control and
provides reliable statistical data.
The opening of the gauge heads is directed to the bottom and is twice as wide as the
measuring range, which allows for an easy product feed through. Directly integrated
in the gauge head is a pluggable universal interface module for all connections. In this
position it is optimally protected against water, dirt or mechanical influences during
the production. There are no external plugs.
As there are no moving parts in the Laser Series 6000, the gauge heads maintain their
accuracy during the entire operation time. Calibration procedures or maintenance are
not necessary.
The product range of Sikora’s laser devices includes dual- and triple-axis gauge heads
and covers diameter ranges from 0.05mm to 500mm.
