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.

SIKORA, manufacturer of innovative measurement, control, and sorting technologies, will present its entire range of systems for quality control and cost optimization in cable production at wire 2026 in Düsseldorf from April 13 to 17. Visitors will experience new products and practical live demonstrations.

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.
