The advanced feature of the X-RAY 2000 is its non-scanning principle, using high resolution X-ray sensitive line sensors to take continuously X-ray pictures of the product. Powerful signal processors calculate the measured values directly from the X-ray picture and provide thickness and eccentricity as well as diameter information within fractions of a second. Without the need of any calibration, the X-RAY 2000 technology provides measurements directly at the production process and enables a fast centring, an automatic control, and optimized production.
The system is as easy to operate as a diameter gauge and can be integrated in every jacketing line as well as in insulating lines. The arrangement of the measuring axis under 0 and 90 degrees provides the capability to measure the wall thickness and eccentricity of round cable as well as for sector shaped conductors.
The X-RAY 2000 may be installed between the extruder and the cooling trough, between two cooling trough sections or after the cooling trough. In any position the use of the X-RAY 2000 is safe for the operator.
