The focus of SIKORA’s appearance at this year’s Chinaplas from 21-24 May in Guangzhou is on innovative measuring, control, inspection, analysis and sorting devices.
At the SIKORA booth, visitors can expect a comprehensive portfolio of systems for quality control, process optimisation, and cost savings in the pipe, hose and tube industries, as well as in plastics industries.
For online inspection and sorting of plastic material, SIKORA showcases the Purity Scanner Advanced. The system combines X-ray with optical technology and detects contamination inside plastic pellets, as well as on their surface. Perfection in detection provides the adaptive camera concept, where up to three optical cameras are used, depending on the expected contamination and application. For example, an X-ray camera detects metallic contamination inside pellets, optical cameras identify yellow discolourations and black specks’ inside transparent and on opaque pellets, whereas colour deviations are detected by colour cameras. Contaminated pellets are sorted automatically.
For quality control during pipes extrusion, SIKORA will exhibit the CENTERWAVE 6000. Millimetre wave technology precisely measures the diameter, ovality, wall thickness and the inner profile (sagging) of the product. The measuring principle does not require any coupling media, is not influenced by temperature or the plastic material and measures precisely without the need of any calibration.
A presetting of the product parameters is not required. Easy operation and precision lead to the highest quality of the final product as well as cost savings and optimal efficiency.
The X-RAY 6000 PRO is a further highlight for measuring the wall thickness, eccentricity, the inner and outer diameter, and the ovality of hoses and tubes. The thickness of up to three different material layers is measured.
Furthermore, SIKORA will also present diameter measuring systems of the LASER Series 2000, as well as the LASER Series 6000, which offer lump detection in addition to diameter measurement.
SIKORA’s presentation in Guangzhou is completed by reliable lump detectors that detect irregularities on the product surface.
