the material is not needed. The measurement of the product is accomplished by using millimeter waves based radar technology. An optionally traversing set of trans- ceivers above and below the strip or plate continuously sends and receives modulated millimeter waves. From the runtime differ- ence, the thickness of the product is precisely determined.

SIKORA presents at Tube China 2018 the LASER Series 2000 for diameter and ovality measurement of tubes and pipes
SIKORA also showcases gauge heads of the LASER Series 2000 for a non-contact and non-destruc- tive measurement of the diameter and ovality of metal tubes, wire rods and bars during production. The measuring method is based on the usage of CCD sensors and laser light sources in combination with powerful signal processors. The outer diameter of the metal tube, wire rod or bar is calculated by means of an intelligent dif- fraction analysis. Extremely low exposure times guarantee a high accuracy of the single value at all line speeds. The gauge heads are free of wearing parts, keep their precision during the entire oper- ating time and no calibration or maintenance work is necessary.
In addition, SIKORA presents the LASER Series 6000. These gauge heads expand SIKORA´s current range of intelligent diam- eter gauges with three high-end models. Up to 5,000 measure- ments per second and axis, all with extremely high single value precision, enable an optimum line control, provide reliable statistical data, and allow the detection of lumps and neckdowns at the same time. The SIKORA gauge heads measure the diameter of tubes, wire rods and bars with impressive precision and repeatability. Three gauge head models cover product diameters from 0.2 to 78 mm.
