The Siebe Colour Match System is an
inline control of colour during
production or colour quality test for
harnessing or laboratory control.
The device can detect single colour-
coded insulation as well as stripe-
coded wire and shows both colours.
The reference colour can be taken
from a RAL database or a user-defined
database where new entries are
created with a teach-in function. The
result is the nearest database colour to
the selected reference (in units of
Lab-dE). The minimum wire diameter
is 1mm (40mil) and the minimum stripe
width is 0.5mm (20mil).
Two device types are available: Inline
with TCP-IP connection to line PLC or
stand-alone with touch-screen. The
offline device comes with touch-
screen and turn mechanism for 360°
inspection.

With the Preheater 6000 TC (TC –
Temperature Control), Sikora offers a
solution for precise conductor pre-
heating, the basis for high-quality
cable production.
The Preheater 6000 TC is positioned
before the extruder and preheats the
wire by means of inductive heating up
to 200°C. A controlling module
controls the power of the Preheater
6000 TC depending on the conductor
material, the conductor dimension, the
line speed and the desired
temperature. A non-contact infrared
camera takes the temperature inside
the Preheater.
With the approach of the direct
integration of a wire temperature
measurement in the Preheater and the
feedback to its power control, it is
assured that the wire temperature is
always at its desired level.
The Preheater is available for a
product diameter of 0.32 to 2.8mm
(0.08 to 6mm²) and applicable for new
lines as well as retrofitting on existing
lines. The system comes with all
common interfaces such Ethernet,
Profibus and Profinet as well as
analogue ports.
Initially developed for Sikora’s Preheater,
the Wire-Temp 6000 is also now
available as a standalone version and for
retrofitting to existing preheaters.
The Wire-Temp 6000 determines the
conductor temperature independently
from the cross-section, the material, the
line speed and the surface structure of
the conductor.
A big advantage over conventional
systems is that the temperature
measurement is made by means of a
non-contact thermal image sensor in
an infrared camera, which detects the
conductor and provides accurate
measurements with no need for
calibration. The Wire-Temp 6000 is
available for product sizes from 0.1 to
10mm and from 0.15 to 100mm.
Various communication interfaces are
available for the transmission of the
measuring values to a Sikora
processor system, the line control or a
laptop.
The universal interface module for
connections to RS485, RS232,
Profibus DP or industrial field buses
such as CANopen, Ethernet/IP,
DeviceNet, Profinet IO fulfils the
demand.
