Due to varied fields, the requirements of the hose and tube market differ strongly depending on the application. With SIKORA you have a competent partner at your side that supports you to run your production line more efficient with new technologies and a strong market understanding – for medical tubes, multi-layer composite pipes, small or large tubes and many other applications.
The CENTERWAVE 6000 is a groundbreaking innovative key technology during the extrusion of big tubes.
Several transceivers, arranged around the circumference of a tube, for continuously sending and receiving frequency modulated millimeter waves measure online contactless and µm-precisely the diameter, ovality and wall thickness of big plastic tubes during the extrusion process – without knowledge of material properties and without coupling mediums.
Non-contact innovative millimeter wave technology – similar to radar
The CENTERWAVE 6000 system doesn’t require any maintenance
For all types of plastic pipes from 90mm to 3,200mm | 3.5” to 125.9”
Wall thickness: ≥8mm | ≥0.15” (smaller wall thicknesses on request)
Measurement of OD, ID, Wall Thickness, Ovality, Eccentricity and Sagging in real-time
Measurements independent from material & temperature
Hot & Cold measurements
Slim design fits easily into the extrusion line
Smooth pipes, Foam core pipes, Multi-layer and Corrugated pipes
We offer efficient management and competent extrusion manufacturing consulting for the Canadian and US Plastics Industry.
