oriented technology for the detection of lumps and neckdowns in transparent materials. The gauge head is available for product diameters from 0.25 to 10mm. Sikora AG – Germany Fax: +49 421 48900 90 Email: sales@sikora.net Website: www.sikora.net Online detection of lumps and neckdowns

WITH the LUMP 2000-series Sikora introduces technology for the non-contact detection of lumps and neckdowns during hose and tube production. The heart of the LUMP 2000-devices is advanced double sensor technology. The systems detect punctual non-conformities on the product surface even at high line speeds. The 2-axis gauge heads are suitable for product diameters from 0.5 to 10mm and 0.5 to 25mm. Moreover, SIKORA provides 3-axis models for product diameters from 0.25 to 10mm and 0.5 to 35mm. A special model is available to detect lumps and neckdowns to a size of 5μm, at product dimensions of 0.1 to 0.5mm. With the special edition of the LUMP 2010 T Sikora offers an additional future-

Ultrasonic rotating system for defect detection

the product, contactless, to a distance of nearly 20mm. The product moves linearly, and shear waves probes allow the full detection of defects such as longitudinal and transversal defects. Compression waves probes allow the detection of lamination, and the measurement of thickness and external and internal diameter ovalisation. The UT Scan100 electronic ultrasonic instrument, which can provide a full report with localisation of defects, is designed to operate with the rotating UT heads. The rotating UT head range, for products from 5 to 220mm, is available in five different models, with larger diameters possible upon request. The signal transmission is without contact and allows a high rotation speed of up to 8,000rpm, depending on the UTR size. The UT rotating head can be installed in addition to an eddy current system manu- factured by CMS. With this new range of products, CMS is able to provide a full NDT solution in the same bench, and including centring devices, motorisation, PLC control, filtering and circulating water system.
