Sikora’s Laser series 2000 measures metal tube diameter, ovality
Sikora has introduced the Laser series 2000 for noncontact and nondestructive measurement of the diameter and the ovality of metal tubes, wire rods, and bars during production. The measuring method is based on the use of laser light sources and CCD sensors in combination with signal processors.
The outside diameter of the metal tube is determined by means of an intelligent diffraction analysis. Extremely short exposure times help guarantee a high accuracy of the single value at all line speeds.
The machine includes gauge heads for different product diameters from 0.05 to 500 mm. They are free of wearing parts and keep their precision during the entire operating time with no calibration or maintenance work necessary, the company reports.
