all three insulation layers of the cable, allowing optimum process control. Particularly in the production of high voltage and submarine cables, it is essential to prevent contamination from entering the insulation. The Purity Scanner Advanced uses X-ray technology and optical cameras to detect contaminants such as metal down to 50µm in the pellet, and automatically sorts out impurities. This ensures that only pure material is processed, minimising breakdowns and ensuring the quality of the cable. The function and benefits of the system will be clearly demonstrated at wire using a hybrid exhibit.

The company aims to meet the objectives of its partners in terms of social responsibility and decarbonisation through the development and improvement of its organisation, methods and machines.

present its entire range of current, improved and new products for quality control and cost optimisation in cable production, including three world premieres. At wire 2024, Sikora will unveil three innovative measuring devices that it says will redefine the segment of measuring technology for cable production lines, with the accompanying “Moving forward” marketing campaign underlining the company’s commitment to future-oriented solutions. “With the new products, we are bringing movement to measuring technology,” Said Katja Giersch, head of corporate communications at Sikora. “Our customers can look forward to reliable, future-oriented products that continue to lead the way with their performance and make a significant contribution to increasing productivity and cost efficiency in production.” In the field of power cable production, the X-Ray 8000 has been providing precise measurements for more than 30 years. At wire, Sikora will present the third-generation measuring system based on X-ray technology – X-Ray 8000 Advanced – which measures the wall thickness, eccentricity and diameter of cables in CV lines directly after the crosshead, providing prompt measuring values for centring and control. Also highlighted will be the X-Ray 8700 NXT, which measures the final product dimensions at the end of the CV line, both horizontally and vertically. By using Sikora measuring systems both at the beginning and at the end of production, shrinkage values are determined for

High-speed 630mm back-twist pairing/quadding line

Products being showcased at wire 2024 will include a complete high-speed 630mm pairing line/quadding line composed of modern-design single bow, back-twist payoff and double twist machine for data, automotive and LAN cables, presenting SETIC’s solutions for Industry 4.0. Also on show will be an AST1000R 1,000mm high-speed single twist assembling machine that demonstrates SETIC’s solutions versatility (LAN, control, instrumentation, data, EV charging and battery cables) and flexibility (laying up, stranding and wire armouring processes). SETIC SAS www.setic-pourtier.com Sikora AG 09 A41 Sikora, a manufacturer of measuring, control and sorting technologies, will

The X-Ray 6000 Pro measures the wall thickness, eccentricity and diameters of cables in insulating and sheathing lines

The X-Ray 6000 Pro provides continuous measuring data on wall thickness, eccentricity and diameter in insulating and sheathing lines. Information is clearly displayed on the monitor of the Ecocontrol 6000 processor system. The X-Ray 6000 Pro can be used after the extruder, between two cooling sections or at the end of the line for cold measurement.
