Extrusion International USA 1-2020

43 Extrusion International 1/2020 With the premiere of the FIBER TEN- SION 6003, SIKORA widens its prod- uct family for quality control of opti- cal fibers. The gauge head is used for an extremely fast and robust tension measurement and control. Due to the high measuring rate of up to 10 kHz and the application of the bire- the laboratory testing device PURITY CONCEPT V live on site. By using in- spection and sorting systems, con- tamination can be excluded, break- downs eliminated and material costs saved. Besides economic advantages, the environment can be preserved at the same time due to less waste. fringence principle, the stand-alone gauge head is particularly attractive for manufacturers of high-end solu- tions. The FIBER TENSION 6003 is pre- destined for optical fibers that are further processed into premium op- tical fiber cables. The FIBER TENSION 6003 can be used for hot as well as cold measurement of the bare fiber. SIKORA solutions for wires and cables With the X-ray based “X-RAY 8000 ADVANCED”, SIKORA showcases at wire 2020 state-of-the-art High- Speed-Technology (HST) that is tai- lored to the demands of MV, HV and EHV cable production. It represents an advanced alternative to the suc- cessful and proven “X-RAY 8000 NXT”. The system is equipped with 16 measuring sensors and measures the diameter, wall thickness and ec- centricity of cables in CV lines up to 10 times faster than the “X-RAY 8000 NXT”, and thus, is predestined for an even more efficient control and in- formation transparency in terms of Industry 4.0.
