The heart of the Lump 2000 devices is the advanced double sensor technology, which detects punctual non-conformities on the cable surface even at high line speeds. Sikora AG – Germany Website : www.sikora.net

The systems are designed for continuous measurement of the outer diameter, wall thickness, eccentricity and ovality of cables. In combination with the processor system EcoControl 600/1000/6000 an automatic control of the line speed and extruder rpm under consideration of the minimum values is possible. Sikora will also present its Laser Series 2000, for classic diameter measurement in two or three planes, covering product diameters from 0.05 to 500mm. Furthermore, the high-end Laser Series 6000 will be displayed at the show. These diameter-measuring devices meet the current high-end requirements in the wire and cable industry. The gauges ful l all needs regarding high accuracy, a variety of interface connection options and utmost reliability for quality control during wire and cable production. The high accuracy allows in addition for the detection of lumps and neckdowns. Three high-end gauges are available for product diameters from 0.2 to 78mm. Also on display will be the Centerview 8000, which measures eccentricity, diameter and ovality of coaxial cables, LAN cables as well as automotive and installation cables. Optionally integrated in the Centerview 8000e is a 7" TFT monitor, which displays production data. A special feature is the so-called scatter plot, which shows the distribution of short-term variations of the eccentricity. The scatter plot is an alternative style visual view of the measurements being made at the EcoControl processor system or the integrated TFT monitor. The operation is intuitive and menu-driven via touch screen. For quality control during the production of MV, HV and EHV-cables in CCV, VCV and MDCV-lines Sikora provides the X-Ray 8000 NXT. This has been delivered more than 1,000 times worldwide, and is recognised as an industrial standard. It is used for precise measurement of the wall thickness of all three layers (concentricity, diameter and ovality). Measuring values for centring and control are therefore available immediately after starting up the line. In addition to innovative measuring devices, the company will display the two- or three-axis lump detectors Lump 2000 XY/T.

In the production of cables, the consistent and process-reliable joining of cables is an important topic. Customers would like a fast working procedure which is reliable, economical and ensures an uninterrupted manufacturing process. The trend here continues to move towards increasingly larger cable cross sections: In order to satisfy the desire of many of customers for reliable welding machines for cable cross sections of 1,600 to 2,000mm² or even 2,500mm², August Strecker has the new double-upset butt welding machine Type MK 1200. The machine welds copper or aluminium stranded conductors from 185mm² even up to a maximum cross section of 2,500mm² (5,000kcmil/Ø 65.5mm).

As is the case with all the machines of the MS and MK series, these cables are also de ashed fully automatically after welding. Especially when welding cables with large cross sections, the current require- ment, or the short-term peak load is a concern, as the customer must ensure an adequate supply of power. ➢➣➢ ▲ The MK1200 for welding copper or aluminium stranded conductors up to a maximum of 2,500mm 2
