WCN Spring 2011

More than a facelift

Sikora’s X-ray measuring systems set worldwide standards with their reliability and efficiency in the area of eccentricity and wall thickness measuring devices. The new X-RAY 6000 will carry forward the success story of the flagship X-RAY 2000 from Sikora. Reliable measurements, easy handling and the typical Sikora face characterise the new X-RAY 6000. The elaborate construction creates an optimum integrability in every cable production line. Furthermore, there are a number of technological innovations: The X-RAY 6000 is equipped with XLL-X-ray tubes and guarantees a long-term operation along with the highest reliability. An additional highlight of the new X-RAY 6000 is the selectable measuring rate from 1 to 3Hz (optionally 10, 100Hz) as well as an extremely high accuracy. The integration of a universal power supply, which covers all common supply voltages, rounds off the technological innovations of the X-RAY 6000 series. The technology of the X-RAY 6000, in combination with the display and control system ECOCONTROL 6000, allows for a fast centring of the extrusion tools and control of the line speed or the extruder rpm under consideration of the minimum values. There are a variety of X-RAY 6000 models available for diameter ranges from 0.65 to 650mm. All devices measure wires and cables with up to three layers of different materials with the highest precision.
