Saving materials and money with Sikora

The X-Ray 8000 and X-Ray 2000 from Sikora measure power cables without requirements of calibration or lengthy set-up routines, with information available as soon as the extrusion is started. Sikora’s technical approach provides the operator with information when he needs it saving materials and money. The Ecocontrol 2000 processor system provides for the integration of the range of Inline 2000 series gauges into one common system. The touch-screen driven device simplifies operator interface while offering the state-of-the-art approach to FFT/SRL examinations, tandem extrusion control and eccentricity graphical analysis. The full range of Inline 2000 systems start with the support of the diagnostics software for each device. This software for the full range of devices offers flexibility in ease of configuration, as well as expanding the range of information available from a standard device. True innovation reflects the technique employed in the Laser 2000 series XY and triple axis diameter measurement devices. No moving parts means lower maintenance and cost of manufacture while Laser diffraction analysis techniques, supported by Texas Instruments DSP, provides the highest
