eg to choose the right product, and adapt it to individual needs until nal delivery, sometimes including commissioning. Participating in European as well as overseas exhibitions also helps to further promote the trademark of Strecker butt welders. A summarised production programme includes butt welding machines for all kinds of wires starting at 0.04mm diameter to a maximum of around 60mm diameter for solid steel and about 56mm maximum diameter for solid non-ferrous wires, including welders with automatic de-burring cycle. For steel there are various annealing devices available, suiting the needs of varied steel grades, including: • Butt welders for stranded conductors starting at 0.08mm² up to about 2,500mm². Welding by means of tubes or without any tubes at all (with automatic de-burring) • Cold pressure butt welders with automatic de-burring cycle Wide specialised range for varied appli- cations, including: • butt welding machines for steel cord • battery-operated parting guns for steel cord or steel strands • electric wire butt welding guns • high-output butt welding machines for production of wire-made mass articles Special-purpose welding machines can be tailored to the individual customer’s needs.

Sikora AG Stand: FO D43

Sikora will showcase its innovative measuring, control, inspection, sorting and analysis technologies, which contribute to product quality, process optimisation and cost saving in the wire and cable, optical bre and plastics industries. The newly launched X-Ray 8000 Advanced will be a highlight at the stand. With the X-ray based system, Sikora has introduced state-of-the-art high-speed technology (HST) that is tailored to the demands of MV, HV and EHV cable production. It represents an advanced alternative to the X-Ray 8000 NXT. The system is equipped with 16 measuring sensors and measures the diameter, wall thickness and eccentricity of cables in CV lines up to ten times faster than the X-Ray 8000 NXT, and is predestined for more e cient control and information transparency in terms of Industry 4.0. Another attraction will be the Preheater 6000 TC (temperature controlled), an intelligent solution for precise preheating of the conductor to the nominal temperature. Reliable conductor preheating during the production of high-quality cables, especially for automotive and data cables, is essential to ensure optimal adhesion of the insulation on the conductor and a controlled foaming. Sikora will also present its wide range of measuring systems for quality control of optical bres at di erent positions in the drawing tower. There will be systems shown for the measurement of the diameter and the position of the naked and coated bre, as well as for the determination of the tension and detection of airlines. Gauge heads will be displayed for the measurement of the bre temperature. They are installed at the hot position of the drawing process to determine the bre temperature for the control of the furnace, and at the cold end to exactly dose the helium used for the cooling. In addition, a gauge head for the determination of the concentricity of the coating as well as for the detection of lumps on the surface of the coated bre will be exhibited. The company’s portfolio also comprises products for plastic material inspection.

A system to be shown for the rst time is the Purity Concept X, an o ine inspection and analysis system based on X-ray technology. It detects and analyses metallic contamination both on the surface and inside transparent, di use and coloured plastic material.
