powerful gauge head is suitable for use at virtually any point on the production line. The Laser 2000 series features highly durable laser diodes, and avoids maintenance due to a measurement principle requiring no moving parts. The mean time between failures – the average time after which a device shows a repairable defect – is claimed to be 15 years. Several of the laser systems (Laser 2030 XY to Laser 2300 XY) feature a swivelling gauge head that can fold upwards from the working area, protecting the gauge head from dirt and water drops falling into the measuring area.  Sikora’s Laser 2010 T, Laser 2025 T and Laser 2050 T triple-axis gauge heads

Sikora AG, Germany, is an expert in the field of measurement, control and test equipment. The company manufactures the Laser 2000 series of measurement and control equipment for all kinds of tube and hose. The smallest gauge head in the range, the Laser 2010 XY, offers XY-diameter measurement for product diameters from 0.1mm to 10mm. Progressive CCD- technique, in combination with impulse-driven laser diodes and powerful processors, allow short exposure times of 0.2µsec, providing precise, non-contact measurement. Product vibrations have no influence on the measurement, and the gauge head does not include any optical elements. The small,
