Data cable manufacturing requires consistently high product quality, as even minor disturbances can impair signal and transmission quality. SIKORA's new LPO software uses highly accurate individual measurement values from SIKORA measuring devices without averaging them. These measurement values are then consolidated in an ECOCONTROL processor system and clearly displayed, allowing the operator to immediately assess the quality of the entire production line. Deviations detected early on can be precisely identified and specifically addressed by operating personnel, resulting in more stable processes and rapid troubleshooting in the extrusion process.
The LPO was first unveiled to the public in April at this year's wire Düsseldorf tradeshow, the world's leading trade fair for the wire and cable industry, with over 1,500 exhibitors from 60 countries.
