Both X-ray measuring systems assure a continuous quality control to fulfil the required cable specifications regarding wall thickness, eccentricity and diameter. With the complement of the X-RAY 6000 Basic to the Sikora product portfolio, manufacturers of single layer products get a powerful and s i m u l t a n e o u s l y c o s t - e f f i c i e n t alternative to the X-RAY 6000 Pro.

For the measurement of several insulation layers the X-RAY 6000 Pro is available. An innovation of the device is its 22" TFT display and control system Ecocontrol 6000. The monitor is arranged in vertical format and shows simultaneously all measuring

values numerically as well as graphically and also trend and statistic data. The operation is via touchscreen. online measurement the values for wall thickness, eccentricity, outer diameter and ovality are accessible at the processor system Ecocontrol 6000. The wall thickness measuring values are displayed at eight points and allow the operator, with the help of the eccentricity function, for optimally centring the extrusion tool and to precisely control wall thickness and diameter to the nominal value.
