Quality Control System Designed Specifically for Large-Pipe Extrusion

German developer of plastic pipe quality control systems Sikora has introduced a new model in its Centerwave line. The Centerwave 6000/1200 measures the wall thickness, inner profile and diameter as well as ovality and is designed specifically to meet the requirements of large pipe manufacturers. The compact system integrates easily with production processes and is particularly suitable for extrusion lines producing pipes in diameters between 1,000 and 1,200 mm (39.4 and 48 in.), according to Sikora. The Centerwave 6000/1200 supports immediate in-line centering and quality control. For the US market, the new model is compatible with the 48-in. IPS and DIPS standard.
