LASER Series 2000 XY models for efficient 2-axis diameter measurement LASER Series 2000 T models for efficient 3-axis diameter measurementLASER Series 2000 F/R models for the efficient measurement of flat and round profiles

With thegaugeheadsof theLASERSeries2000,SIKORAoffershigh-qualitylasertechnologyforefficientdiametermea-surement, meeting the increasing demands of the hose and tube sector in regard to quality and productivity. High preci-sion, reliability and continuous functionality are the outstand-ing features of the dual and triple-axis gauge heads for a product range of 0.05 to 500 mm. Due to their functional design, the systems can easily be integrated into any produc-tion line.

The technology behind these gauge heads is a state-of-the-art CCDlinesensor technologycombinedwith laserdiodesaslight sources and intelligent analysis software. The outstand-ing feature of the non-contact and non-destructive measuring technology is the extremely high single value precision, which is an important aspect for the calculation of the standard de-viation. Short exposure times assure reliable readings at all common line speeds.

The measuring heads are free from wearing parts and have a nearly unlimited lifetime. Even after years of operation, the devicesmeasureaspreciselyasonthefirstday.Theopticalmeasuring principle, without any moving parts, ensures an availabilityof99.8%.Calibrationandmaintenancearenotrequired.

Intelligent designInteresting is the design of the LASER Series 2000 devices. The smaller gauge heads are equipped with a unique and proven multi-slot protection. The gauge heads for larger mea-suring ranges as well as all triple-axis devices are open at the bottom, which prevents water and dirt from falling into the gauge head.

A special feature of the larger models and 3-axis measuring heads is the swiveling gauge head design, allowing the head to be moved up and out of the production area. The measur-ing heads are free from wearing parts, retain their high preci-sion during the entire period of operation and do not require any calibration or routine maintenance.

Interfaces + Industry 4.0The LASER Series 2000 gauges offer all kinds of interfaces such as RS485 and optionally Profibus-DP, Profinet IO,CANopen, EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet or OPC UA for a di-rectconnection toaPCor thedisplayandcontroldevicesREMOTE2000orECOCONTROL6000,1000or600andare therefore, designed for the use under the aspect of “In-dustry 4.0”.

LASER Series 2000 XYWith the LASER Series 2000 XY, SIKORA offers efficientgauge heads for a precise diameter measurement in two planes. Innovative regarding the laserand theCCDsensor– the diameter measurement based on diffraction analysis sets highlights. This technology does neither require rotating mirrors nor optical components, is absolutely maintenance-free, does not require any calibration and offers the highest precision during the operation.

LASER Series 2000 TThe LASER Series 2000 T models are 3-axis gauge heads for precise diameter and ovality measurement that leave nothing to be desired. The focus of the 3-axis gauge heads is on defining the ovality of a product. An oval is definedby five tangents, and therefore, by using three measuringaxes (six tangents on the oval) not only the min/max value of the oval, but also the orientation of the oval is defined.The LASER Series 2000 T is predestined to precisely measure the diameter and ovality of transparent products.

LASER Series 2000 F/R (Flat/Round profiles)The perfect concept for reliable onlinemeasurement of flatand round profiles is the LASER Series 2000 F/R. For flatprofiles, itprovidesanexactmeasurementof thewidthandthe height as well as the diameter for round products. The fas-cinating technology of the gauge head requires no rotation, and thus, no maintenance.

CENTERWAVE 6000

4 CENTERWAVE 6000 – Diameter, ovality, wall thickness, sagging measurement of large pipes by innovative millimeter waves technology

Typical features- Precise measuring values immediately after starting up the line- Easy operation without presetting the product parameters- Measurements independent from material and temperature- No need for coupling media- Reliable without calibration

The highly modern measuring device ensures:- Repeatable processes - Assurance of pipe quality- Reduction of material consumption- Minimization of scrap rate- Time and cost savings- Increase of productivity- A short-term Return On Investment (ROI)

Perfection by innovation achieves impressive progress in product quality as well as in the optimization of material costs during the manufacture of plastic pipes with diameters from 90 to 3,200 mm and large wall thicknesses. Norms and standards precisely define theminimum andmaximum permissible di-ameters andwall thicknesses of a specific pipe dimensionand require repeatable processes. In order to meet these stan-dards and growing demands in the pipe extrusion, the use of innovative measuring and control systems in the production process is required.

Millimeter waves technology: precise, efficient, perfectTheinnovativeSIKORACENTERWAVE6000preciselymea-sures the inner and outer diameter, ovality, wall thickness and sagging of large plastic pipes. The measuring principle does not require any couplingmedia, is not influenced bytemperature or the plastic material and does not need any calibration.TheapplicationareaoftheCENTERWAVE6000 includes the measurement of single and multi-layer pipes. Easy operation and precision lead to the highest qualityofthefinalproductaswellascostsavingsandoptimalefficiency.

FunctionThe measurement with millimeter waves technology is based on theFMCW* runtime method. One or two constantly ro-tating transceivers continuously send and receive frequency modulated millimeter waves. From the runtime difference, the inner and outer diameter, ovality, wall thickness and sagging aredefined.

4 CENTERWAVE 6000 – Diameter, ovality, wall thickness, sagging measurement of large pipes by innovative millimeter waves technology

Comprehensive controlA rotating gauge offers the complete recording of the wall thicknessover360degreesoftheentirecircumferenceofthepipe. This design also allows for precise measurement and vizualization of the sagging. As an alternative, a static sys-tem measures selectively the wall thickness and the inner and outer diameter of a pipe with two transceivers at four points of the circumference.

Evaluation, display and controlAfter an algorithmic processing of the received transceiver signals, the measuring values are displayed in real time. A connected processor system offers a numerical visualization of the measuring values and their graphical visualization as well as extensive trend and statistical functions.

The technology provides information for centering the extru-sion tools and thermal control of the line. The measuring val-ues are used to ensure an optimum concentricity and minimum wall thickness.

Optimization of pipe quality as well as time and cost savingsAsproducttemperatureshavenoinfluenceonthemeasuringresults when using millimeter waves technology and cou-pling media is not required, the system can be installed for a hot measurement or at the cold end of the line for a fi-nal quality control. The CENTERWAVE 6000 always pro-vides precise measuring values. Assuming that the device is usedafter thefirst vacuum tankandpipesareproducedwith an outer diameter of 400 mm and a wall thickness of 27.5 mm, at a line speed of 0.5 m/min, the machine opera-tor receives accurate measuring results already within ten to 30 minutes (depending on the length of the vacuum tank). The measuring values of the CENTERWAVE 6000 are clearly

Applications TheCENTERWAVE6000issuitableforthemeasurementofsingle and multi-layered plastic pipes with a diameter from 90 to 3,200 mm, that are, for example, used for conducting water, gas, chemicals and oil. The system is applicable for pipes made of all common plastics, such as PE, HDPE, PP, PA6,PVCetc.Forallapplications,thesystemprovidesprecisemeasuring values, even for thick-walled pipes.

Whenproducingpipeswithheavywalls,dependingontheplastic used, there is the risk for so-called “sagging”, as the melt flowsdownasaresultofgravity,andthus,negativelyinfluences thepipewallthicknessdistribution.Thissaggingisidentifiedby the rotating measuring method because of the high measur-ing rate. A display and control device provides the machine operator with constant information on the production process that allows quick action to be taken.

LUMP 2000 XYLUMP 2000 T

2-axis and 3-axis lump detectors

For continuous quality control in hose and tube production lines, lump detectors are just as essential as diameter measur-ing devices* and spark testers. The 2-axis and 3-axis lump detectors LUMP 2000 XY and LUMP 2000 T detect the small-est lumps and neckdowns on the product surface precisely and with high reliability at all line speeds.

A powerful signal processor evaluates the number, height, depth and length of the fault location. The combination of the double sensor technology (differential measuring principle) with infrared light sources assures reliable fault detection even under difficult conditions such as dirt or extreme vibration.The lump detector is robust and can easily be installed in every extrusion line or rewinding machine lines due to its small dimensions.

The setting of tolerances and the numeric display of lumps and neckdowns is realized with the REMOTE 2000 or a processor

8 LUMP 2000 – 100 % lump-free

systemoftheECOCONTROLseries.Alternatively,theLUMP2000 devices can be directly integrated into the line control via a universal interface module.

One interesting application for the use of lump detectors is in braiding lines, where lump detectors are capable of identify-ing loose wires or textile garns sticking out of the plastic. In the same application, the SPARK 2000 BS is a reasonable investment. The device detects faults in composite pipes where the metal coating is not fully covered by the plastic.

ULTRATEMP 6000

Ultrasonic temperature measurement systemfor polyethylene melts

TheSIKORAULTRATEMP6000 isa temperaturemeasuringdevice based on ultrasonic technology, which is tailormade for the reliable measurement of the polyethylene melt directly intheflowchannelbetweentheextruderandcrosshead.

The melt temperature of the polyethylene, which is used during the extrusion of hoses and tubes, is extremely sensitive. A few degrees decide between a homogeneous, and thus, optimum melt and the risk of unmelted or burnt material.

The ULTRATEMP 6000 is a temperature measuring systemwhich continuously measures the temperature of polyethylene melt precisely, directly before the crosshead, during the extru-sion. It operates on a non-contact basis in a non-invasive way. Besidestemperaturemeasurement,theULTRATEMP6000de-tects inhomogeneities in the melt. The high measuring rate al-lows a fast response time and detects the smallest temperature variations.

Thesystemdoesnotinfluencetheflowpropertiesofthemeltastheultrasonicsensorsarepositionedoutsidetheflowchan-nel. Therefore, melt shear heating effects do not occur.

The ULTRATEMP 6000 significantly contributes to processoptimization and costs reductions in hose and tube extrusion lines.

VIRTUAL 2000 – Intelligent software conceptThe virtual gauge technology is suitable for all applications, which require a fast wall thickness control, but due to line con-figurationortheproductstructure,adiameterorwallthickness

measurement directly after the extruder is not possible. Only after the cooling section, that is to say in greater distance from the cross head, the real measurement is done by this technology.

The basis of the design is the simple, but sophisticated idea that an extrusion model knows the volume output of the ex-truder in its different operating conditions to predict with the highest accuracy the value of the produced cold wall thick-ness of a product. The volume output is recorded once in a userfriendlywaybytheECOCONTROL6000incombina-tion with the measuring device.
