➣➢➣ crosshead and so, at start-up of a product, the extrusion process parameters are already in a steady state. The bypass control system was designed as a stand-alone module that is equipped with its own CPU and a touch panel for user interactions. This means that the described intelligent bypass control system can easily be integrated in the main control system of a cable production line. Only the “old” bypass has to be replaced. A retrofit can also be carried out with integration into the main control system. Siebe Engineering – Germany Website : www.siebe.de Sikora will present a broad portfolio of innovative measuring, control, inspec- tion, sorting and analysis technologies. These contribute to good product quality, process optimisation and cost saving in the wire and cable, optical fibre and plastics industries. The newly launched X-Ray 8000 Advanced will be a highlight. With the X-ray based system, the company has introduced high-speed technology (HST) that is tailored to the demands of MV, HV and EHV cable production. It represents an advanced alternative to the established 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, and is predestined for more efficient control and information transparency in terms of Industry 4.0. Other highlights are devices of the Laser Series 2000 and Laser Series 6000 that are components for diameter measure- ment on a sophisticated level. The classic and high-end devices are used in extrusion lines or rewinding applications for wire drawing. They stand out by their high precision and continuous functionality without calibration or maintenance times. Up to 5,000 measurements per second per axis, all with high single-value precision, Sikora AG Stand: F19

allow for optimum line control and provide reliable statistical data. The integrated lump detector function ensures detection of irregularities on the product surface of transparent and non-transparent materials. In addition to standard interfaces, the device series provides OPC UA. With Centerview 8000, Sikora has a measuring system for non-contact, on-line eight-point-eccentricity, four- axis-diameter and eight-point-ovality measurement of coax cables, LAN cables and automotive and installation cables.

❍ Surface preparation specialist

lubricants and other surface con- taminants after drawing. The company, with worldwide represen- tation, offers individual solutions as well as complete turnkey projects, including installation and commissioning. Under the brand name e-systems, Staku has summarised its individual processes and holds several European and international patents. It has introduced its wire-cleaning unit Rotor Jet for low-cost surface pre- paration at high speed. Especially in the wire welding industry, the system, at 2,100 psi and 85°C, does not leave any lubrication on the wire surface even at process speeds up to 30m/sec. With cleaning by an electrolytic surface activation unit using a weak sulphuric acid, the quality of copper-coated welding wire can be guaranteed. With e-phos technology, the company offers a high-speed phosphating pro- cess for wire speeds up to 2m/sec. This application can be installed in front of a multi-pass drawing machine for steel/PC wire or before a single pass bull block being part of a production line for CHQ wire. With the new e-molyphos coating it also offers a new lubrication that was developed for wire drawing and cold forming of alloys, stainless steel and titanium materials. e-molyphos is a lubrication system that matches all named requirements by electrolytic

Technical highlights of the Centerview 8000 are the graphic visualisation of measuring values as a scatter plot showing the distribution of short-term variations, as well as the automatic positioning of the gauge head to the cable position for high reliability. A further feature is the measurement of micro-coax cables in a diameter range from 0.1 to 10mm.
