5 1 LASER Series 2000 Efficient diameter control at all times From 0.05 mm to 500 mm LASER Series 2000 XY LASER Series 2000 T LASER Series 2000 XY models for efficient 2-axis diameter measurement LASER Series 2000 T models for efficient 3-axis diameter measurement LASER Series 2000 F/R models for the efficient measurement of flat and round profiles Typical features - High precision and reliability - No moving parts - No calibration - Availability: 99.8 % With the gauge heads of the LASER Series 2000, SIKORA offers high-quality laser technology for efficient diameter measurement, meeting the increasing demands of the hose and tube sector in regard to quality and productivity. High precision, reliability and continuous functionality are the outstanding features of the dual and triple-axis gauge heads for a product range of 0.05 to 500 mm. Due to their functional design, the systems can easily be integrated into any production line. The technology behind these gauge heads is a state-of-the-art CCD line sensor technology combined with laser diodes as light sources and intelligent analysis software. The outstanding feature of the non-contact and non-destructive measuring technology is the extremely high single value precision, which is an important aspect for the calculation of the standard deviation. Short exposure times assure reliable readings at all common line speeds. The measuring heads are free from wearing parts and have a nearly unlimited lifetime. Even after years of operation, the devices measure as precisely as on the first day. The optical measuring principle, without any moving parts, ensures an availability of 99.8 %. Calibration and maintenance are not required. Swivel gauge head function 3

6 Specific gauge heads for every application LASER Series 2000 XY With the LASER Series 2000 XY, SIKORA offers efficient gauge heads for a precise diameter measurement in two planes. Innovative regarding the laser and the CCD sensor the diameter measurement based on diffraction analysis sets highlights. This technology does neither require rotating mirrors nor optical components, is absolutely maintenancefree, does not require any calibration and offers the highest precision during the operation. LASER Series 2000 T The LASER Series 2000 T models are 3-axis gauge heads for precise diameter and ovality measurement that leave nothing to be desired. The focus of the 3-axis gauge heads is on defining the ovality of a product. An oval is defined by five tangents, and therefore, by using three measuring axes (six tangents on the oval) not only the min/max value of the oval, but also the orientation of the oval is defined. The LASER Series 2000 T is predestined to precisely measure the diameter and ovality of transparent products. LASER Series 2000 F/R (Flat/Round profiles) The perfect concept for reliable online measurement of flat and round profiles is the LASER Series 2000 F/R. For flat profiles, it provides an exact measurement of the width and the height as well as the diameter for round products. The fascinating technology of the gauge head requires no rotation, and thus, no maintenance. Technical Data LASER Series 2000 Intelligent design Interesting is the design of the LASER Series 2000 devices. The smaller gauge heads are equipped with a unique and proven multi-slot protection. The gauge heads for larger measuring ranges as well as all triple-axis devices are open at the bottom, which prevents water and dirt from falling into the gauge head. A special feature of the larger models and 3-axis measuring heads is the swiveling gauge head design, allowing the head to be moved up and out of the production area. The measuring heads are free from wearing parts, retain their high precision during the entire period of operation and do not require any calibration or routine maintenance. Interfaces + Industry 4.0 The LASER Series 2000 gauges offer all kinds of interfaces such as RS485 and optionally Profibus-DP, Profinet IO, CANopen, EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet or OPC UA for a direct connection to a PC or the display and control devices REMOTE 2000 or ECOCONTROL 6000, 1000 or 600 and are therefore, designed for the use under the aspect of Industry 4.0.

7 2 LASER Series 6000 A milestone in diameter measurement Wi-Fi (WLAN) ready From 0.2 mm to 78 mm LASER Series 6000 LASER Series 6000 for high-end diameter measurement in the area of Non Destructive Testing (NDT) The innovative LASER Series 6000 opens up a new era of precision diameter measurement. The LASER Series 6000 devices expand SIKORA s current range of intelligent diameter gauges with three high-end models. They unify the intelligent design with the highest precision and reliability. The LASER Series 6000 is versatile in its use and measures transparent as well as non-transparent products. Up to 5,000 measurements per second and axis, all with extremely high single value precision, enable an optimum line control, provide reliable statistical data and allow the detection of lumps and neckdowns at the same time. The SIKORA gauge heads measure the diameter of hoses and tubes with impressive precision and repeatability. Three gauge head models cover product diameters from 0.2 to 78 mm. Typical features - Innovative CCD line sensor technology combined with pulse controlled laser diodes - Measures transparent and non-transparent products with impressive precision - Up to 5,000 measurements per second/axis - Integrated lump detection function - Integrated LCD display - Universal interface module for all connections - Optimum installation and protection of connection cables - Wi-Fi interface and SIKORA App - Two-year warranty Integrated display in the gauge head The devices include an integrated LCD display that provides the operator with diameter values at one glance, directly at the measuring device. Lump detector function The high measuring rate of the diameter measuring devices also permits the detection of lumps and neckdowns. With the two-in-one system, investment costs are reduced. In addition, there is more space in the line as only one gauge head has to be installed. Swivel gauge head function 5

8 Functional design in perfection A special feature of the LASER Series 6000 is the swivel type gauge head. It allows for the gauge head to be easily moved up and out of the extrusion line. The measuring heads are open at the bottom to prevent dirt and water from falling into the measuring plane. The feeding of the connection cables to the interface module is protected against water, dirt and mechanical influences, directly in the gauge head stand. The opening range of the gauge is twice as large as the measuring range, for an easy and safe passage of the product and possible joints. Interfaces + Industry 4.0 A universal interface module is directly integrated into the gauge head for any connections such as RS485, RS232, Profibus-DP or alternatively an industrial fieldbus such as Profinet IO, EtherNet/IP, CANopen, DeviceNet or OPC UA. With these interfaces, the device series is best equipped under the aspect of Industry 4.0. Wi-Fi interface The LASER Series 6000 has an optional Wi-Fi interface for direct communication with a smartphone or laptop. The Wi-Fi interface transmits measuring values, trend and statistical data as well as video signals for diagnosis and quality control. SIKORA App SIKORA offers a free app for displaying measuring values, trends, statistics or video signals on smartphones. The operator can easily log in via the optional Wi-Fi interface and receives immediate production data of the particular gauge head on the smartphone. The app also allows the calibration of the gauge head according to ISO The values of the test probes are read from a QR code and the measured values are listed in a log file. For quality management, a test certificate is documented, sent and archived.

9 3 X-RAY 6000/6000 PRO Intelligent partners in the extrusion of hoses and tubes X-ray measuring system for wall thickness, eccentricity, ovality and diameter measurement of single and multi-layer products Possible positions of the X-RAY 6000 in the production line When manufacturing hoses and tubes, quality control of wall thickness, eccentricity, ovality and inner and outer diameter is essential. The applications where hoses and tubes are used today are quite diverse and so are the demands with regard to quality control. X-RAY 6000 and 6000 PRO are measuring devices that offer high precision of the parameters as mentioned before. They have proven their performance in the aircraft industry, the automotive industry, gas and water business as well as in medical and industrial applications. X-ray technology for measurement in the areas described before is independent from the material of the product to be measured and from temperature. It does not need any coupling media nor calibration. For that reason, the X-RAY 6000/6000 PRO are essential devices for stable and reproducible processes. SIKORA offers two X-ray based systems. The X-RAY 6000 is an innovative, powerful measuring system in production lines for single layer tubes and total layer thickness measurement of multi-layer tubes. The X-RAY 6000 PRO is perfection in its most impressive form, for the measurement of hoses and tubes with up to three layers of different materials. X-RAY 6000 PRO for multi-layer products The X-RAY 6000 PRO measures the wall thickness, eccentricity, inner and outer diameter and ovality of single or multi-layer hoses, composite pipes, pressure hoses with textile reinforcement, small or large diameter hoses made of PE, HDPE, PVC as well as foamed products, products made of EPDM, nylon, rubber or silicone. Moreover, it is suitable for quality control of medical and cosmetic tubes. The vertical 22 TFT monitor of the ECOCONTROL 6000 clearly displays production data of the X-RAY 6000 PRO 7

10 Centering and control The use of the X-RAY 6000 PRO at the hot end, directly after the extruder or after the first vacuum tank/cooling section allows a fast centering and automatic control of the line speed or the extruder rpm. The material shrinkage is taken into consideration by an additional diameter gauge head after the vacuum tank/cooling section combined with a Hot-Cold- Control. Monitoring of the final product is achieved by the X-RAY 6000/6000 PRO at the cold end and reduces the cost of offline sample testing. Increase of efficiency The measuring values of the wall thickness, eccentricity, inner and outer diameter and ovality are displayed at the processor system ECOCONTROL 6000 immediately with the online measurement. The eccentricity measuring values are displayed at eight points and allow the operator an optimal centering of the extrusion tools. For the X-RAY 6000, the ECOCONTROL 6000 is optionally available. From the very first day of operation, both X-ray devices, the X-RAY 6000 PRO and the X-RAY 6000, assure continuous online quality control during the production of hoses and tubes. Simultaneously, the systems reduce the wall thickness to a minimum value. Quality assurance and the reduction of material lead to a significant increase of productivity. The X-RAY 6000 PRO includes as a standard the display and control device ECOCONTROL 6000 with a vertically arranged 22 TFT monitor. It is either mounted on a separate stand or integrated in the control cabinet of the line control. Typical features X-RAY 6000 PRO - Measurement of the wall thickness, eccentricity, inner and outer diameter and ovality of up to three different material layers - Automatic control of the line speed or extruder rpm under consideration of the minimum values - Selectable measuring rate from 1 to 3 Hz (optional 10/25 Hz) - 22 TFT monitor - Intuitive touch screen operation - No calibration X-RAY 6120 PRO with 22 TFT monitor The ECOCONTROL 6000 is conveniently and intuitively operated via touch screen. All relevant measuring values are numerically as well as graphically and as trend and statistical data shown at a glance. A line presentation with pictograms of the connected devices provides a clear overview. The PROfessional devices are most efficiently used with the automatic control of the line speed or extruder rpm under consideration of the minimum values. Optimum information is provided by the ECOCONTROL 6000, with reel and length related data storage, that is included as a standard. Automatic crosshead centering Specifically for the manufacturing of rubber hoses at the extrusion process, the X-RAY 6000 PRO provides measuring values for automatic wall thickness centering. By using these techniques, manual centering during production is not necessary. In addition, the online concept continuously ensures an optimum hose centering, and thus, a uniform wall thickness distribution over the entire hose circumference. 8

11 Specific measuring systems for individual applications X-RAY 6020 PRO for small diameters The X-RAY 6020 PRO is focused on product diameters from 0.65 to 15 mm and ultra-thin wall thicknesses down to 100 μm. The device is designed for the area of medical tubes where quality is a vital requirement. The heart of this technology are the specially developed X-ray tubes with directed X-radiation, which allows a measurement of ultra-thin wall thicknesses. X-RAY 6000 for single layer products The X-RAY 6000 is most effective in production lines for single layer products as well as total wall thickness measurement of multi-layer tubes. It measures the wall thickness, eccentricity, inner and outer diameter. The production data is clearly displayed on an intuitive 7 touch screen monitor, however in combination with the processor system ECOCONTROL 6000, 1000 or 600, an automatic control of the line assures highest perfection. By controlling line speed or extruder rpm, the product parameters are controlled to the nominal value, which is an essential step for cost savings. The X-RAY 6000 is an economic and powerful alternative to the X-RAY 6000 PRO focussed on single layer products and total wall thickness measurement. It provides the relevant data that is a crucial factor for quality control of single layer products. X-RAY 6000 i An overall measurement, covering each point of the product s circumference is enabled by the innovative X-RAY 6000 i. The applied rotating X-ray technology provides perfection in the segment of 100 % control of the total tube and is particularly suitable for the measurement of foamed tubes with a diameter of 100 mm. Safety Concerns on the safety of X-ray devices are arbitrary as the radiation is of no relevance because of the low energy. Practically, a human is exposed to a much higher radiation on a flight from New York to Frankfurt. Typical features X-RAY Measurement of the wall thickness, eccentricity, inner and outer diameter and ovality of single layer products - Automatic control of the line speed or extruder rpm under consideration of the minimum values (optional) - Selectable measuring rate from 1 to 3 Hz - Integrated 7 monitor for measuring value display - No calibration Technical Data X-RAY 6000/6000 PRO Measuring Principle Non-contact with latest X-ray technology X-RAY 6035 with integrated 7 monitor Product Name Diameter* Accuracy X-RAY 6020 PRO mm 5 μm X-RAY 6035** mm 5 μm/50 μm X-RAY 6070** mm 10 μm/60 μm X-RAY 6120** mm*** 10 μm/60 μm X-RAY 6200 PRO mm 20 μm X-RAY 6300 PRO mm 30 μm * Measuring ranges up to 500 or 650 mm on demand ** X-RAY 6000 PRO/X-RAY 6000 *** Expanded measuring range up to 110 mm on request Measuring Rate X-RAY 6000 PRO: 1 to 3 Hz (optional 10/25 Hz) X-RAY 6000: 1 to 3 Hz Interfaces X-RAY 6000 PRO X-RAY 6000 RS232, USB, RS485, RS232 OPC DA/UA (optional) Optional: LAN, industrial fieldbus (e.g. Profinet IO, EtherNet/IP, Profibus-DP, CANopen, DeviceNet) Power Supply V AC ± 10 %, 50/60 Hz 9

12 4 CENTERWAVE 6000 Diameter, ovality, wall thickness, sagging measurement of large pipes by innovative millimeter waves technology Typical features - Precise measuring values immediately after starting up the line - Easy operation without presetting the product parameters - Measurements independent from material and temperature - No need for coupling media - Reliable without calibration The highly modern measuring device ensures: - Repeatable processes - Assurance of pipe quality - Reduction of material consumption - Minimization of scrap rate - Time and cost savings - Increase of productivity - A short-term Return On Investment (ROI) CENTERWAVE 6000 Perfection by innovation achieves impressive progress in product quality as well as in the optimization of material costs during the manufacture of plastic pipes with diameters from 90 to 3,200 mm and large wall thicknesses. Norms and standards precisely define the minimum and maximum permissible diameters and wall thicknesses of a specific pipe dimension and require repeatable processes. In order to meet these standards and growing demands in the pipe extrusion, the use of innovative measuring and control systems in the production process is required. Millimeter waves technology: precise, efficient, perfect The innovative SIKORA CENTERWAVE 6000 precisely measures the inner and outer diameter, ovality, wall thickness and sagging of large plastic pipes. The measuring principle does not require any coupling media, is not influenced by temperature or the plastic material and does not need any calibration. The application area of the CENTERWAVE 6000 includes the measurement of single and multi-layer pipes. Easy operation and precision lead to the highest quality of the final product as well as cost savings and optimal efficiency. Function The measurement with millimeter waves technology is based on the FMCW* runtime method. One or two constantly rotating transceivers continuously send and receive frequency modulated millimeter waves. From the runtime difference, the inner and outer diameter, ovality, wall thickness and sagging are defined. *Frequency Modulated Continuous Waves 1) Measuring system 2) Rotating transceiver 3) Millimeter waves (radio waves) 4) Pipe with sagging Millimeter waves measuring principle Measuring system with rotating sensor Video image: Evaluation of the received signals and determination of the pipe dimensions 10

13 Comprehensive control A rotating gauge offers the complete recording of the wall thickness over 360 degrees of the entire circumference of the pipe. This design also allows for precise measurement and vizualization of the sagging. As an alternative, a static system measures selectively the wall thickness and the inner and outer diameter of a pipe with two transceivers at four points of the circumference. Evaluation, display and control After an algorithmic processing of the received transceiver signals, the measuring values are displayed in real time. A connected processor system offers a numerical visualization of the measuring values and their graphical visualization as well as extensive trend and statistical functions. The technology provides information for centering the extrusion tools and thermal control of the line. The measuring values are used to ensure an optimum concentricity and minimum wall thickness. Optimization of pipe quality as well as time and cost savings As product temperatures have no influence on the measuring results when using millimeter waves technology and coupling media is not required, the system can be installed for a hot measurement or at the cold end of the line for a final quality control. The CENTERWAVE 6000 always provides precise measuring values. Assuming that the device is used after the first vacuum tank and pipes are produced with an outer diameter of 400 mm and a wall thickness of 27.5 mm, at a line speed of 0.5 m/min, the machine operator receives accurate measuring results already within ten to 30 minutes (depending on the length of the vacuum tank). The measuring values of the CENTERWAVE 6000 are clearly displayed at the ECOCONTROL 6000 Installation The CENTERWAVE 6000 is applicable at any position in the extrusion line: 1. After a first cooling/vaccum tank Hot measurement 2. At the end of the line Cold measurement 2 The CENTERWAVE 6000 can be installed 1 for hot as well as cold measurement 11

14 Applications The CENTERWAVE 6000 is suitable for the measurement of single and multi-layered plastic pipes with a diameter from 90 to 3,200 mm, that are, for example, used for conducting water, gas, chemicals and oil. The system is applicable for pipes made of all common plastics, such as PE, HDPE, PP, PA6, PVC etc. For all applications, the system provides precise measuring values, even for thick-walled pipes. When producing pipes with heavy walls, depending on the plastic used, there is the risk for so-called sagging, as the melt flows down as a result of gravity, and thus, negatively influences the pipe wall thickness distribution. This sagging is identified by the rotating measuring method because of the high measuring rate. A display and control device provides the machine operator with constant information on the production process that allows quick action to be taken. The CENTERWAVE 6000 is suitable for the measurement of plastic pipes with a diameter up to 3,200 mm Technical Data CENTERWAVE 6000 Measuring Principle Non-contact on the basis of FMCW* millimeter waves technology Application Extrusion lines for large pipes Areas of Application - Smooth pipes - Foamcore pipes - Corrugated pipes - Multi-layer pipes Material Any kinds of plastics (e.g. PE, HDPE, PP, PA6, PVC, glass fiber reinforced plastics etc.), ceramic, glass Measuring Range CENTERWAVE 6000/400: 90 to 400 mm CENTERWAVE 6000/630: 90 to 630 mm CENTERWAVE 6000/800: 160 to 800 mm CENTERWAVE 6000/1600: 360 to 1,600 mm CENTERWAVE 6000/3200: 1,200 to 3,200 mm Calibration The CENTERWAVE 6000 does not require any calibration Measuring Frequency 80 to 300 GHz Measuring Rate 370 Hz Power Supply V AC ± 10 %, 50/60 Hz Ambient Temperature + 5 to + 45 C Interfaces USB Optional: industrial fieldbus (e.g. Profinet IO, EtherNet/IP, Profibus-DP, CANopen, DeviceNet), LAN, OPC DA/UA * Frequency Modulated Continuous Waves ** Smaller wall thicknesses on request Wall Thickness 3.8 mm** 12

19 Technical Data PURITY SCANNER PURITY SCANNER ADVANCED Innovative transport system The pellets are fed into the system through a sealed vibration feeder. In order to ensure highest purity, all materials, that get into contact with the pellet stream, are made of stainless steel or PE, perfectly encapsulated and designed to operate with overpressure. Integration of the system in the production line Due to their compact dimensions and low construction height, the systems are easy to integrate into any new or existing production line. The devices are designed for throughputs from a few kilograms up to several tons per hour* and can also be used as offline analysis devices with lower flow rates. Cleaning Concept When designing the PURITY SCANNER/ADVANCED, it was of the utmost priority that dust cannot penetrate the device from the outside. However, the device can be opened and cleaned easily. Application Cleaning Concept Alternatively to cleaning, it is also possible to quickly exchange the complete transport system with a clean system. This functional Cleaning Concept was specifically developed for customers who process different materials or colors and clean the system when changing the material.

20 7 PURITY CONCEPT Systems Strong technologies for the highest material quality PURITY CONCEPT V PURITY CONCEPT X Offline inspection and analysis systems for plastic materials With the groundbreaking models of the PURITY CONCEPT Systems, SIKORA offers the versatile potential of its systems for offline inspection, analysis and evaluation of plastic materials in the area of Non Destructive Testing (NDT). Equipped with X-ray technology (X), optical camera (V) or infrared technology (IR), the systems are to be used, depending on the application, for process control, offline sample testing as well as incoming goods inspection. The PURITY CONCEPT Systems detect contamination down to a size of 50 μm. Regarding the integrated technologies, SIKORA draws on several decades of experience in the cable as well as hose and tube industry. Typical features - Non Destructive Testing (NDT) for granulate and injection moulded parts - Innovative concept for comprehensive analysis requirements (inspection of pellets, flakes, films/tapes, sheets, injection moulded parts) - Laboratory operation, incoming goods inspection - X-ray, infrared or optical inspection and analysis - Quality control and documentation PURITY CONCEPT X The PURITY CONCEPT X, based on X-ray technology, detects and analyzes for example metallic contamination both on the surface and inside of transparent and intransparent, colored pellets, flakes, sheets and injection moulded parts. PURITY CONCEPT V With an optical camera, the PURITY CONCEPT V inspects and analyzes any colored and transparent plastic pellets, flakes, films/tapes and injection moulded parts. The PURITY CONCEPT V combines the advantages of a light table with an automatic offline material control. By analyzing the recorded images, contamination on the surface of the material are detected, visualized and evaluated according to size automatically. In transparent material, contamination can also be detected inside the sample. A clear allocation of the contamination and follow-up inspection are possible at any time and do not have to be done manually by the operator. Thus, the system contributes significantly to quality control and process optimization. 18

21 Innovative measuring principle For the inspection of small quantities, the test material is spread on a tray, moved to the inspection area and automatically inspected with one of the three camera systems within seconds. A beamer highlights contaminated material in color directly on the tray (here in red). Pellets with a contaminant are simultaneously shown on the monitor, including the size of the contamination, and marked (red squares). Individual pellets with a contaminant can be selected and zoomed in (blue square in X-ray image). At the same time, they are optically visualized on the tray by the cross hairs. Tray with material samples (here pellets) X-ray image of pellets on monitor (PURITY CONCEPT X) Color camera image of pellets on monitor (PURITY CONCEPT V) Visualization and analysis of measuring values In combination with a PC that is included in delivery, detected contamination are visualized at all systems and the number and size numerically displayed. This data provides the users with valuable information on the processes. The evaluation of the measurement data includes an image file of detected contaminated pellets as well as a statistical evaluation of the testing results.

23 8 LUMP % lump-free LUMP 2000 T LUMP 2000 XY SPARK 2000 BS 2-axis and 3-axis lump detectors For continuous quality control in hose and tube production lines, lump detectors are just as essential as diameter measuring devices* and spark testers. The 2-axis and 3-axis lump detectors LUMP 2000 XY and LUMP 2000 T detect the smallest lumps and neckdowns on the product surface precisely and with high reliability at all line speeds. A powerful signal processor evaluates the number, height, depth and length of the fault location. The combination of the double sensor technology (differential measuring principle) with infrared light sources assures reliable fault detection even under difficult conditions such as dirt or extreme vibration. The lump detector is robust and can easily be installed in every extrusion line or rewinding machine lines due to its small dimensions. The setting of tolerances and the numeric display of lumps and neckdowns is realized with the REMOTE 2000 or a processor Technical Data LUMP 2000 Typical features - 2-axis and 3-axis lump/neckdown detection - Highest reliability due to double sensor technology - Fault analysis regarding type, dimension, length, number and position - Elimination of ghost faults ** system of the ECOCONTROL series. Alternatively, the LUMP 2000 devices can be directly integrated into the line control via a universal interface module. One interesting application for the use of lump detectors is in braiding lines, where lump detectors are capable of identifying loose wires or textile garns sticking out of the plastic. In the same application, the SPARK 2000 BS is a reasonable investment. The device detects faults in composite pipes where the metal coating is not fully covered by the plastic. * Systems for diameter measurement and high-speed surface inspection are available upon request ** Ghost faults are caused by light fluctuations from the outside, and thus, are no real faults Min.

24 9 PLAST-TEMP 6000 Non-contact temperature measurement Typical features - Non-contact temperature measurement - Easy to operate, no calibration - Temperature display and operation directly at the device - Free from wear - Easy to integrate into existing lines PLAST-TEMP 6000 Technical Data PLAST-TEMP 6000 Non-contact measurement of the surface temperature Overheating of plastic materials during the extrusion process involves the risk for the formation of stains and scorches. The surface temperature measurement is, for that reason, of significant importance. Designed for round products from 0.32 to 5.0 mm, alternatively from 5.0 to 50 mm, the system is laid out for product temperatures up to 150 C and optionally up to 250 C. The non-contact measurement of the temperature is independent of the diameter values, material and surface structure of the product. ISO 9000 verification For the calibration and verification of the precision of the PLAST-TEMP 6000, SIKORA offers a calibration set, which guarantees a precise measurement and a long service life. The calibration is easy and fast and ensures regular safety for production lines by comparing contact and non-contact temperature measurements.

25 10 ULTRATEMP 6000 Ultra strong temperature measurement ULTRATEMP 6000 Ultrasonic temperature measurement system for polyethylene melts The SIKORA ULTRATEMP 6000 is a temperature measuring device based on ultrasonic technology, which is tailormade for the reliable measurement of the polyethylene melt directly in the flow channel between the extruder and crosshead. The melt temperature of the polyethylene, which is used during the extrusion of hoses and tubes, is extremely sensitive. A few degrees decide between a homogeneous, and thus, optimum melt and the risk of unmelted or burnt material. The ULTRATEMP 6000 is a temperature measuring system which continuously measures the temperature of polyethylene melt precisely, directly before the crosshead, during the extrusion. It operates on a non-contact basis in a non-invasive way. Besides temperature measurement, the ULTRATEMP 6000 detects inhomogeneities in the melt. The high measuring rate allows a fast response time and detects the smallest temperature variations. The system does not influence the flow properties of the melt as the ultrasonic sensors are positioned outside the flow channel. Therefore, melt shear heating effects do not occur. The ULTRATEMP 6000 significantly contributes to process optimization and costs reductions in hose and tube extrusion lines. Typcial features - Maximization of the extruder output through optimum melt temperature - Avoidance of unmelted or burnt material - Detection of inhomogeneities in the melt - Non-contact, no melt shear heating effects Technical Data ULTRATEMP 6000 Measuring Principle Non-contact, non-invasive temperature measurement based on ultrasonic technology Measuring Range to C Accuracy < ± 1 C deviation Interfaces Serial interface RS485 Setup and diagnosis interface RS232 Optional: Profibus-DP, analog output Power Supply V AC ± 10 %, 50/60 Hz 23

26 11 Partner of the measuring systems Powerful processor systems ECOCONTROL 6000 with 22 monitor ECOCONTROL 1000 with 15 monitor ECOCONTROL 600 with 8.4 monitor Premium processor systems with 22, 15 or 8.4 TFT color monitor and touch screen operation Advanced Software (optional) Three ECOCONTROL processor systems form the SIKORA premium segment of display and control devices. Intelligent software technology, clear arrangements, intuitive structure and easy usability are the convincing characteristics. Choose the extremely innovative and powerful ECOCONTROL 6000, the unique ECOCONTROL 1000 or the smart ECOCONTROL 600. Each of these display and control systems exceeds all expectations in their class. The innovative display of the line, including pictograms of the connected devices, provides a unique overview, while the numeric and graphic display of the measuring values, trend diagrams and statistics fulfill every wish regarding process visualization. The 22, 15 and 8.4 TFT monitors and the intuitive touch screen control of the ECOCONTROL 6000, 1000 and 600 processor systems represent an intelligent and cutting edge technology. Automatic diameter/wall thickness control In combination with the control module SET POINT, the ECOCONTROL systems deliver quality assurance and cost reduction. They ensure a continuous, automatic control of the diameter or wall thickness to the nominal value by controlling either the line speed or the extruder rpm. Hot/Cold Module HC 2000 (ECOCONTROL 6000/1000) With the Hot/Cold Module HC 2000, the material shrinkage is continuously calculated and considered automatically for the control of the diameter and/or wall thickness. FFT analysis/preventive maintenance Optionally, the ECOCONTROL 6000 visualizes periodical variations of the product parameters from an FFT analysis of the measuring values. This software package was developed with the support of competent partners of the industry. The FFT analysis leads to transparency of the processes, shows risks, that are caused e.g. by variations of the diameter, and indicates potential causes. 24

27 Data storage The data storage on a hard disk is a standard for the ECOCONTROL For the ECOCONTROL 1000, this feature is optionally available. For the ECOCONTROL 600, an external media storage (USB, LAN) is available upon request. Time, length or reel related production reports are available for each of the three ECOCONTROL devices (6000, 1000 and 600). VIRTUAL 2000 Intelligent software concept The virtual gauge technology is suitable for all applications, which require a fast wall thickness control, but due to line configuration or the product structure, a diameter or wall thickness measurement directly after the extruder is not possible. Only after the cooling section, that is to say in greater distance from the cross head, the real measurement is done by this technology. The basis of the design is the simple, but sophisticated idea that an extrusion model knows the volume output of the extruder in its different operating conditions to predict with the highest accuracy the value of the produced cold wall thickness of a product. The volume output is recorded once in a user friendly way by the ECOCONTROL 6000 in combination with the measuring device.
