Extrusion International 2-2024-USA

70 Extrusion International 2/2024 MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY With Several Innovations at the wire 2024 SIKORA, manufacturer of innovative measuring, control and sorting technologies, will present the entire range of current, improved and new products for quality control and cost optimization in cable production at wire 2024 in Düsseldorf from April 15 to 19. Visitors can look forward to three world premieres. "Moving forward": World premiere of new products At wire 2024, SIKORA will unveil three innovative measuring devices that redefine the segment of mea - suring technology for cable production lines. The ac- companying marketing campaign "Moving forward" underlines SIKORA's commitment to offering its cus- tomers future-oriented solutions. The campaign pres- ents the three new systems as a promise of further development and as a statement for progress. "With the new products, we are bringing movement to mea- suring technology. Our customers can look forward to reliable, future-oriented products that continue to lead the way with their performance and make a sig- nificant contribution to increasing productivity and cost efficiency in production," says Katja Giersch, Head of Corporate Communications at SIKORA. Visitors can familiarize themselves with the advantages of the sys- tems live at the exhibition stand. X-RAY 8000 ADVANCED/NXT: Remarkably efficient in CV lines In the field of power cable production, the X-RAY 8000 has been providing precise measurements and maxi- mum reliability for over 30 years. These are features that ensure the quality of cables during production and lead to material and cost savings. At wire, SIKORA presents the 3rd generation measuring system based on X-ray technology, X-RAY 8000 ADVANCED, which measures the wall thickness, eccentricity and diameter of cables in CV lines directly after the crosshead. It therefore pro- vides measuring values for centering and control with- out delay. Another highlight is the X-RAY 8700 NXT, which mea- sures the final product dimensions at the end of CV lines, both horizontally and vertically. By using SIKORA measuring systems, both at the beginning and at the end of production, shrinkage values are determined for 3 innovative measuring devices celebrate their world premiere at the SIKORA booth. The accompanying marketing campaign presents the systems as an expression of further development and as a statement for progress The X-RAY 8000 ADVANCED is used in CV lines for the quality control of cables The X-RAY 6000 PRO measures the wall thickness, eccentricity and diameters of cables in insulating and sheathing lines
