Automatic control mode and joint control of cold/hot ends
With the equipped control module SET POINT, the production line speed and extruder screw speed can be quickly and accurately controlled while taking into account the minimum value of product parameters. The machine head can also be automatically adjusted through other signal outputs. In order to ensure the best product quality while reducing excessive material consumption, SIKORA recommends using the cold/hot end joint control hall HC 2000, which can be used in conjunction with X-RAY 6000 PRO, LASER 2000 series or LASER 6000 series. The application of the cold/hot end joint control module HC 2000 can continuously calculate the shrinkage rate of materials and automatically incorporate this factor into the automatic feedback control of outer diameter and/or wall thickness.
Automatic centering of extruder
In the production process of rubber tubes, X-RAY 6000 PRO can provide measurement values for automatic adjustment of wall thickness eccentricity. Through the application of this technology, there is no need to manually adjust the deviation. In addition, continuous online control ensures good concentricity of the pipes and uniform distribution of pipe wall thickness.

Virtual measurement head technology
Virtual measuring head technology is suitable for situations where rapid wall thickness control is required, but due to production line configuration or product structure reasons, it is not possible to measure the outer diameter or wall thickness after the extruder head.

X-RAY 6020 PRO
X-RAY 6020 PRO is suitable for measuring objects with an outer diameter range of 0.65-15 mm and a minimum measurable wall thickness of 100 μ m. It is particularly suitable for medical tube production lines that require very high quality.
X-RAY 6000 i
The latest X-RAY 6000 i can measure the entire circumference of the object being measured. The system adopts rotary X-ray measurement technology, providing the most perfect technical guarantee for controlling the entire tested pipe, especially suitable for foam pipes with an outer diameter of up to 100mm.
CENTERWAVE 6000
The innovative CENTERWAVE 6000 enables complete measurement of wall thickness, diameter, and ellipticity of products along the entire circumference. The system adopts an innovative millimeter wave measurement technology, providing a perfect technical solution for measuring large diameter pipelines.

Determination of minimum wall thickness
By using physical models related to radiation absorption and the structural types of related products, the dimensions of the product along the entire circumference can be depicted. This way, the most accurate value can be determined within a 360 degree circle

Quality assurance and significant cost savings
With the use of SIKORA's X-RAY 6000 PRO, the pipes have received continuous online quality control during the extrusion production process. For producers, offline detection workload is significantly reduced. Meanwhile, through the application of X-RAY 6000 PRO, the wall thickness can be controlled within the minimum range. On the premise of ensuring quality, material savings greatly improve production efficiency.
example:
The investment for the detection system is 75000 euros, assuming a raw material consumption of 5.4 million euros per year for a production line (extrusion volume of 600 kilograms per hour, working hours of 6000 hours per year, material cost of 1.5 euros per kilogram). By using the X-RAY 6000 PRO, at least 5% of material consumption can be saved, equivalent to saving 45 euros (270000 euros/year) per hour.
Taking into account maintenance and upkeep costs of 0.5 euros per hour, as well as equipment depreciation of 1.46 euros per hour (depreciation means a decrease in asset value, calculated based on 8 years of use and 6000 hours per year), for users, from the first day of instrument use, an additional 43.04 euros can be added per hour. Calculated based on 6000 hours of operation per year, users will receive a benefit of 258240 euros per year. If converted into an investment return period (R0I), it is 3.5 months (75000 euros/258240 euros=0.29 years).

X-RAY 6000 PRO - A high-performance measurement system
The X-RAY 6000 PRO system provides reliable measurement and control of pipe production lines at different production line speeds. The use of this system is as simple as that of an outer diameter measuring instrument, and it also has eccentricity measurement function and the ability to measure the minimum wall thickness.
The X-RAY 6000 PRO provides the most reliable guarantee for material savings by controlling wall thickness and reducing waste during vehicle operation, while also allowing for precise control.
safety
Due to the low-energy configuration used in the X-ray measurement system, there is no need to worry about safety issues - as the impact of radiation can be ignored in this situation. In fact, the radiation level of this system is lower than that of a person flying from New York to Frankfurt.
