Increasing demands on the signal and transmission quality of data cables require precise insights into manufacturing quality and sources of interference. In cable production, consistent product quality is a sign of the manufacturer‘s excellence. Low process variation is a key condition for consistent quality within the required tolerances. With the LINE PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZER (LPO) SIKORA presents a new software program that detects quality fluctuations at an early stage during production. It was first unveiled to the public at wire Düsseldorf tradeshow in April this year.

RR Kabel, one of India’s leading wire & cable manufacturers, uses SIKORA’s X-RAY 8700 NXT to ensure accurate, real-time measurement and control in its SIOPLAS lines. With more than 2,000 systems sold worldwide, SIKORA’s X-RAY 8000 series has set the standard for continuous and reliable quality control in power cable production. The systems deliver precise and reliable measurements of concentricity, wall thickness, diameter and ovality as well as by controlling cables with up to three layers.
