INFORMATION about diameter eccentricity
and wall thickness is important to
manufacturers of hoses and tubes during
production. With a measuring rate of
12kHz the CENTRIX 8025 XY measures
the diameter of hoses and tubes as well
as of transparent products with highest
precision.
In combination with the processor
system ECOCONTROL 600, 1000 or 2000,
further product parameters such as wall
thickness are calculated and graphically
and numerically displayed.
The LED-diodes and high-resolution
CMOS-sensor lines provide the basis for
a precise measurement performance.
As a result of advanced SMD
technology the gauge head
is very small and can easily
be any integrated into any
extrusion line. CENTRIX 8025
XY is suitable for product
diameters from 0.25 to 25mm
with a minimum wall thickness
of 0.2mm. The gauge head
is equipped with vertically
arranged glass windows, which
ensure an effective protection
against contamination. The
CENTRIX 8025 XY is open
at the bottom side preventing
dirt or water falling into the
measuring area. The lack of
wearing parts creates a unique
freedom from maintenance and calibration
procedures are not necessary.
The CENTRIX 8025 XY is equipped
with a RS485 serial interface and
RS232 diagnostic interface for the direct
connection of a line control system or
SIKORA’s control devices REMOTE 2000
or ECOCONTROL 600, 1000 and 2000.
Optionally, it also offers an EtherNet/IP,
Profibus-DP interface or even an analogue
output.
