SIKORA launches sensational CENTERVIEW 8000
With CENTERVIEW 8000 SIKORA presents its latest masterpiece in the field of non contact eccentricity, diameter, ovality and wall thickness measuring devices
Bremen, September 21st, 2007 - The launch of the sophisticated CENTERVIEW 8000 represents another highlight of SIKORA's 34 years' success story in the manufacture of measuring and control systems for the wire and cable sector. Latest technological developments of CENTERVIEW 8000 promise a top class precision measurement.
CENTERVIEW 8000 includes a unique non contact measuring head that allows a continuous on-line measurement. Furthermore, an 8-point eccentricity measurement, 4-axis diameter and 8-point ovality measurement provide highest precision. The measuring system is perfectly suitable for the production of coaxial cables, LAN-cables as well as automotive and building wires. SIKORA supplies two CENTERVIEW 8000 models that are specifically compatible with diverse product dimensions to serve individual customer demands. CENTERVIEW 8010 is applicable for products with a diameter from 0.1 to 10 mm while CENTERVIEW 8025 was particularly conceived for bigger product diameters from 0.5 to 25 mm.
In order to receive precise single measuring values even in the sub micrometer area, the design of the measuring head does not include any rotating mirrors, optical lenses or guide rollers. The device records single measuring values with highest precision and depicts them in the form of points in a unique cloud diagram display. Rapidly, the operator gets clear information about eccentricity values that can optimally and promptly be controlled by means of specific controlling procedures. "With our innovative and powerful technology we further want to raise the bar regarding quality, productivity and cost reduction in the segment of premium measuring devices", says Harry Prunk, chairman of SIKORA AG. CENTERVIEW 8000 sets new standards through its technological fully developed measuring procedure.
CENTERVIEW 8000 satisfies customer demands for reliability through its long operation time, which is emphasized by the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 12.8 years. The technology of the CENTERVIEW 8000 is a future-oriented, long-life product maintaining "like new" performance for many years. Technological innovations provide a system that offers the operator simplicity, reliability, and accurate measuring values. As a result of the automatic positioning of the gauge head to the cable position, guide rollers or a manual system configuration is not required. The elimination of moving parts and components ensures reliability at every line speed and guarantees freedom from maintenance. Calibration procedures are exclusively done during manufacture and are not necessary afterwards. Accurate measuring values, highest quality, optimization of the production as well as simultaneous cost reduction are the matchless advantages of the new CENTERVIEW 8000. With this new model the success story of CENTERVIEW 2000 will continue. More than one hundred of these systems have been sold worldwide since their launch in 2000. The CENTERVIEW 8000 is exclusively produced in Bremen, Germany, home of many other worldwide technically recognized products, further assuring continued success. SIKORA once again presents a first class technology that sets new standards in the market.
