Measurement that raises the bar: The Laser Series 6000

As a result the plugs as well as the connection cables are protected from any production influences. In addition, the gauge head opening of the Laser Series 6000 is twice as big as the measuring range. This wide opening as well as the big sight field allows for an easy product feeding. The gauge heads do not include moving parts and maintain their accuracy during the entire operation time. Calibration procedures or maintenance are not necessary. The devices cover diameter ranges from 0.25 to 80mm. In addition, Sikora offers further 2-axis diameter gauge heads for products from 0.05 to 500mm as well as 3-axis measuring devices for product diameters from 0.2 to 100mm.

Measuring precision combined with outstanding functionality and perfect design – these are the features of the diameter gauge heads of the Laser Series 6000 for continuous quality control in wire and cable production lines. Regarding electronics of the gauges the Sikora-engineers raised the bar. The devices have a measuring rate of 2,500 measurements per second with high single value precision independent from the position of the product within the measuring field, and thus ensure optimum line control and reliable statistical data. The applicable design of the Laser devices, with small dimension and optional swivelling gauge head, includes a measuring value display directly at the gauge head for a further improvement. Moreover, there are no external plugs. A universal interface module is directly integrated into the gauge head.
