From May 13 to 15, 2025, SIKORA will present innovative measuring, control and sorting systems for quality control and cost optimization in the wire and cable industry at Interwire in Atlanta, USA. Visitors can expect product premieres and an inviting booth concept.

Plastics used for the insulation of medium, high and extra-high voltage cables must meet the highest standards of purity. The two most common materials are XLPE (cross-linkable polyethylene) and PP (polypropylene).

From April 15 to 18, 2025, SIKORA will present highly precise measuring, control and sorting technologies for the hose, tube, pipe and plastics industry in Shenzhen. Visitors can expect, among other things, the new LASER PRO series for diameter measurement as well as an inspiring exchange with experts in a pleasant atmosphere.

With the huge investments in AI data centers such as Stargate in the USA and Deepseek in China and elsewhere, the demand for high-quality data cables is rapidly growing. The quality requirements for these cables set new standards for the extrusion process.

Why the PURITY SCANNER ADVANCED from SIKORA has established itself worldwide on the XLPE market

Since plastics are so diverse due to their properties and applications and each market has its own requirements, the sorting requirements are also very individual. The requirements in the XLPE market differ significantly from standard plastics. It is not just a matter of identifying different materials, cross-contamination or coarse impurities. Find out what additional requirements exist and how the innovative inspection and sorting system, PURITY SCANNER ADVANCED from SIKORA, meets these requirements.

In 2025, SIKORA AG from Bremen is still one of the 520 secret world market leaders in the German-speaking economic area. This is the result of a study conducted by the University of St. Gallen in cooperation with the magazine WirtschaftsWoche and the Academy of German Business Leaders.

HV and EHV cables place the highest demands on their function and their production. As submarine and underground cables, they ensure that electricity is reliably transported to where it is needed. A recent report identifies cable failures as one of the biggest challenges for offshore wind power in the future and predicts about 3,600 cable failures between 2024 and 2035, which could potentially cause costs of around 61.5 billion euros . This makes it even more important to ensure the quality of these cable types at the highest level.

At wire India from November 27 to 29, 2024, in Mumbai, India, SIKORA celebrates several premieres. For the first time, the measuring device manufacturer presents three new systems for diameter, eccentricity and length measurement of cables on the Indian market. Visitors can look forward to a new booth concept and get comprehensive advice from the SIKORA experts on topics related to quality control.
