Meet SIKORA at wire China 2020 (W1 E11)

At wire China 2020, from September 23 to 26, 2020, in Shanghai, SIKORA will present its innovative measuring, control, inspection, sorting, and analysis systems. On the exhibition booth visitors can discover the most recent technological innovations for quality control and process optimization for the wire and cable, optical fiber as well as plastics industries – in compliance with safety and hygiene rules.

Worldwide, users of SIKORA devices benefit from an increasing quality, optimized processes and efficiency of the manufacturing process. Modern Laser and X-ray technologies measure precisely and reliably product parameters such as diameter, ovality, wall thickness and concentricity. In addition, SIKORA presents spark testers for the detection of insulation faults, lump detectors for the detection of faults on the product surface, capacity measuring systems as well as devices for reliable conductor preheating and temperature measurement and control.

The X-RAY 8000 ADVANCED for a faster measurement of the diameter, wall thickness, ovality and concentricity of MV, HV and EHV cables in CV lines

A highlight on the SIKORA booth will be the X-RAY 8000 ADVANCED. With the X-ray based system, SIKORA introduces state-of-the-art High Speed Technology (HST) that is tailored to the demands of MV, HV and EHV cable production. It represents an advanced alternative to the successful and 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 10 faster than the X-RAY 8000 NXT, and thus, is predestined for an even more efficient control and information transparency in terms of Industry 4.0.

The FIBER TENSION 6003 measures the tension of optical fibers in the drawing tower

With the FIBER TENSION 6003, SIKORA widens its product family for quality control of optical fibers. The gauge head offers an extremely fast, reliable and precise tension measurement and control. Due to the high measuring rate of up to 10 kHz and the application of the birefringence principle, the stand-alone gauge head is particularly attractive for manufacturers of high-end solutions. The FIBER TENSION 6003 is predestined for optical fibers that are further processed into premium optical fiber cables. The FIBER TENSION 6003 can be used for hot as well as cold measurement of the bare fiber.

In the area of plastics SIKORA shows in China the PURITY SCANNER ADVANCED for online inspection and sorting of plastic pellets that are used for the insulation of MV, HV and EHV cables as well as onshore and offshore cables. The unique combination of an X-ray camera with an optical camera system is currently the only technology that reliably detects contamination inside of plastic pellets as well as on their surface. Contaminated pellets are automatically sorted out.
