With the LASER Series 2000 XY, SIKORA offers gauge heads for a precise diameter measurement in two planes. The diameter is calculated by diffraction analysis directly from the shadow image.
Power Supply:
100 – 240 V AC ± 10 %, 50/60 Hz, 30 VA
Interfaces:
RS485, RS232; optionally analog interface, Profibus-DP or Profinet IO, alternatively industrial field busses such as CANopen, EtherNet/IP, DeviceNET, OPC UA

With the LASER Series 2000 T, SIKORA offers 3-axis gauge heads for a precise diameter measurement including the minimum and maximum values. The focus is on the measurement of the ovality of extruded prodcuts. The oval is defined by 5 tangents. Accordingly, with 3 measuring axis and 6 tangents, not only the minimum and maximum value but also the orientation of the oval are determined.
