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.
A position exists for a senior executive with sales and managerial experience. Senior Executive wanted Ideally the person will be knowledgeable in all aspects of the non-ferrous rod and wire industries.
