The company will showcase its non- contact measuring systems based on progressive laser and X-ray technology that are suitable for various applications, such as the measurement of the diameter, wall thickness, eccentricity or ovality of cables. Sikora’s product range also includes spark testers for the detection of insulation faults, lump detectors for the detection of faults on the product surface, capacity measuring systems and devices for conductor preheating as well as temperature measurement and control. In addition, it will present the innovative Purity Scanner, a system for online inspection and sorting of plastic pellets. Directly integrated into the production line, Sikora technology ensures con- tinuous product quality, and stable, repeatable processes. On display will be the Wire-Temp 6000; the Centerview 8000; the Laser series 2000/6000, Lump 2000; Spark 6000 HF; X-Ray 8000 NXT and X-Ray 6000/PRO; the Purity Scanner 6000; Ultratemp 6000 and the Fiber Series 6000.

Upcast Stand: 538

Utilising recycled copper in the process of casting OF-Cu rod has long been the target for manufacturers. The reason is simple and obvious: cost e ciency. Upcast OY has developed its continuous casting technology and machinery to meet the requirements for using 100 per cent recycled material, or scrap as many operators call it, in the OF-Cu rod process. Using recycled material in the Cu rod casting process has been very challenging with regard to both the quality control and the mechanical processing of the material. The casting process itself does not remove the possible metallurgical impurities of the raw material. Therefore, it was recommended to charge only small quantities of recycled material together with the pure copper cathodes. This required extra manual work from operators, increasing the workforce. With consistent development work and understanding the importance for the customers Upcast has been able to change the situation. The rst Upcast OF-Cu rod continuous casting line utilising 100 per cent recycled material from the other internal processes was delivered a year ago and has since been successful in operation. The automatic charging technology of the new line is designed speci cally for recycled material. The nal product determines the criteria and limit values for the raw material. Thus, the purity of the recycled material is crucial for the process. Using scrap from other processes of the same manufacturer assures that the material is exactly the kind needed for the casting process. In the past the charcoal covering the melt in the furnace has caused some problems in the material feeding and melting process of recycled material by preventing smaller pieces from fully sinking into the melt. This can be prevented by pre-handling of the material, and the new line is also equipped with a hydraulic press
