The measuring method is based on the use of laser
diameter of up to 200 mm. Precise measuring
light sources and CCD sensors in combination with

.
SIKORA also presents the LASER Series 6000. These
devices complement SIKORA’s product portfolio of
intelligent diameter gauges by three high-end models.
Up to 5,000 measurements per second and axis, all
with extremely high single value precision, enable an
optimum line control and provide reliable statistical
data. The LASER Series 6000 gauge heads measure
the diameter of tubes, wire rods and bars with a
higher precision and repeatability as well as a wide
range of interfaces. Three gauge head models cover
product diameters from 0.2 to 78 mm. The measuring
values are clearly visualized and the operation is
done intuitively at the monitor of the ECOCONTROL
systems.
At METEC, SIKORA continues to showcase systems
for quality control of metal tubes on the basis of
X-ray technology. For metal tubes made of aluminum
as well as of certain light metal alloys, the diameter
as well as the wall thickness are precisely measured.
Moreover, the X-RAY 6000 PRO is predestined for
the reliable measurement of the plastic coating on
steel tubes. Typically, X-ray measuring systems
are used for plastic coated steel tubes with a
