Sikora system measures corrugated pipe

X-Ray 6000 Pro C-Pipe AI  Manufacturers of corrugated pipe face challenges in ensuring concentricity of different layers due in large part to the hill-valley contours of the parts. In the startup of the process, ensuring different layers of the pipe are concentric can take anywhere from minutes to hours — and during this time, only scrap is produced. Sikora’s X-Ray 6000 Pro C-Pipe AI line — including the X-Ray 6200 Pro and X-Ray 6300 Pro — combines a newly developed software based on artificial intelligence with an X-ray system to provide a reliable solution for the measurement of layer transitions.

What’s new? X-Ray 6000 Pro C-Pipe AI, available in multiple models for different pipe diameters, which Sikora introduced at NPE.

Benefits Reduced scrap and increased uptime. X-Ray 6000 Pro C-Pipe AI provides process control, wall thickness and eccentricity measurements for quick pipe centering, greatly decreasing start-up scrap. It provides simple one-button operation, with no material parameters required. It also supplies clear visualization of product parameters and data logging, and provides extensive data storage options, with OPC-UA and various Fieldbus interfaces including Ethernet IP.
