Sikora’s X-ray 2000 is an X-ray based
measuring system for use on tube and hose
extrusion lines, using high resolution X-ray
sensitive line sensors to take continuous
X-ray pictures of the product.
Powerful signal processors calculate the
measured values directly from the X-ray
picture and provide thickness, centricity
and diameter information within fractions
of a second. The technology provides
measurements directly at the production
process, and enables fast centring,
automatic control, and optimised production.
The system is as easy to operate as a
diameter gauge, and can be integrated into
any tube or hose extrusion line. The X-ray
2000 is designed as a stand-alone gauge
head, which allows direct connection to a
SPC via RS485 serial interface or Profibus.
For retrofits, or for lines without SPC, the
X-Ray 2000 is available with the Ecocontrol
2000 processor/display unit.
The X-Ray 2000 can be installed between
extruder and cooling trough, between two
cooling trough sections, or after the cooling
trough, with safety ensured in any position.
