control and information transparency in terms of Industry 4.0. With the Fiber Series 6000, Sikora will present a wide range of measuring systems for quality control of optical fibres at different positions in the drawing tower. The range consists of systems for the measurement of the diameter and the position of the naked and coated fibre, as well as for the determination of the tension and detection of airlines. Further gauge heads measure the fibre temperature at the hot position, to determine the fibre 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 is available for the determination of the concentricity of the coating as well as for the detection of lumps on the surface of the coated fibre. Sikora will also exhibit systems for plastic material inspection. The Purity Scanner is an online inspection and sorting system based on X-ray and optical technologies. Contamination inside the pellets as well as on their surface is detected and automatically sorted out. The Purity Concept X is an offline in - spection and analysis system, based on X-ray technology. It detects and analy- ses contamination both on the surface and inside transparent, translucent and coloured plastic material.

SIKORA is a manufacturer and supplier of online measuring, control, inspection, analysis and sorting technologies for

the hose and tube, sheets, metals, wire and plastics industries. Its technology is used for increasing quality, pro- cess optimisation and

efficiency in manufacturing. At Tube 2020, Sikora will present laser and X-ray tech- nologies that precisely and reliably measure product pa- rameters such as diameter, ovality, wall thickness and concentricity. The company’s product portfolio 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 and temperature measurement/control. Systems for online and offline inspection, sorting and

analysis of raw material, for example for the insulation of high voltage cables, round off the product range. With the X-ray based X-Ray 8000 Advanced, Sikora will showcase at Tube 2020 the 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, for more efficient
