Sikora’s X-ray 2000 is an X-ray based measuring system for use on tube and hose extrusion lines, using high resolution X-ray sensitive line sensors to take continuous X-ray pictures of the product. Powerful signal processors calculate the measured values directly from the X-ray picture and provide thickness, centricity and diameter information within fractions fi Sikora’s X-Ray 2000 stand-alone measuring head

of a second. The technology provides measurements directly at the production process, and enables fast centring, automatic control, and optimised production. The system is as easy to operate as a diameter gauge, and can be integrated into any tube or hose extrusion line. The X-ray 2000 is designed as a stand-alone gauge head, which allows direct connection to a SPC via RS485 serial interface or Profibus. For retrofits, or for lines without SPC, the X-Ray 2000 is available with the Ecocontrol 2000 processor/display unit. The X-Ray 2000 can be installed between extruder and cooling trough, between two cooling trough sections, or after the cooling trough, with safety ensured in any position.
