ECOCONTROL Series

By using the latest analysis technology, the X-RAY 8000 ADVANCED/NXT is extremely powerful and reliable. These characteristics are of immense importance as CV lines, where the X-RAY 8000 ADVANCED/NXT is installed, produce high-quality cables, which are only used in demanding applications and need to provide unlimited reliability. It is the perfection, which is in every detail of the system, that assures safeness. The perfection of the X-ray technology with Multi-Sensor-Technology, analysis and ceramic windows provides this safety.
For the measurement of the wall thickness, concentricity, diameter and ovality of high voltage cables in an MDCV line, SIKORA recommends the X-RAY 8700 NXT.
The X-RAY 8700 NXT measures the diameter, wall thickness and concentricity and is suitable for all cable types with solid, stranded or Milliken conductors and with single, double or triple layer insulation.
All measuring systems of the X-RAY 8000 ADVANCED/NXT family are equipped with XLL X-ray tubes (eXtra Long Life) that contribute to a long operation time with highest accuracy and reliability.
Optionally, the X-RAY 8000 ADVANCED/NXT is also available as special edition for the measurement of straight sector cables.
The SIKORA Multi-Sensor-Technology (MST) guarantees, in combination with two high speed scanners, accurate and reliable measurements of medium, high voltage and extra-high voltage cables, even when the cable is vibrating. Furthermore, due to the MST, every scan of the two scanners provides four measuring values, ensuring an extremely high accuracy.
With the X-RAY 8000 ADVANCED, SIKORA introduces a system with state-of-the-art High Speed Technology (HST) that is tailored to the requirements of Industry 4.0. It represents an advanced alternative to the successful and established X-RAY 8000 NXT. The system – equipped with 16 measuring sensors – measures the diameter, wall thickness and eccentricity by a factor of up to 10 faster than the X-RAY 8000 NXT, and thus, is predestined for an efficient control.
Excellent are the advantages resulting from the centering as each change of the centering screws is immediately registered and visualized. The four times greater number of measuring points, compared to the NXT system, simultaneously leads to a measurement almost without delay and an immediate control. Both factors optimize the process and ensure the highest quality of the cables, at maximum material and cost savings.
The High Speed Technology (HST) is the latest innovation from SIKORA. The focus is on efficiency enhancement due to a fast centering and an automatic control of the product parameters. The basis for this are quick and reliable measuring values with the HST. For a fast update of the scan data, the system optimizes the scanning time by automatically adapting the scan path to the cable diameter.
