RAYEX® X-Ray Measuring System for Silane Extrusion Lines
for Low and Medium Voltage Cables
General
RAYEX® systems have been sold since 1996 also for applications outside of CV-tubes.
A special version of the model RAYEX® 160 at moderate cost is available for monitoring the thickness and eccentricity of insulation and semi-conductive layers in Silane processes (Monosil, Sioplas etc.) The system measures at
the same time outside diameter and ovality.
Thanks to its unique concept with an ultra-stable UMX-source and microfocus beam, the RAYEX® can measure
extremely thin semiconductors on small conductor sections with high precision. This is a significant feature to
ensure a high cable quality and lifetime.
Description
The system consists of following main components:
1. Measuring Head
The x-ray head comprises two identical scanners, each with an x-ray source and a detector as well as the
corresponding scanning and control system.
2. Support assembly
The support assembly serves as mounting base for the two x-ray scanners and ensures at the same time
that no x-ray scatter reaches the outside. The two openings of the protection tube are sealed by a special
labyrinth for the x-rays.
3. Processor and display unit
The electronic cabinet contains the USYS-RAYEX real time processor and an industrial colour screen with a selfexplanatory display of the complete cable section.
Programmable for any cable construction, with or without semiconductors.
Integration into Silane Extrusion Lines
The RAYEX® measuring head on the support assembly is typically mounted between the cross head and the
cooling trough.
It is recommended to mount it on a mobile support and rail system, so it can be retracted longitudinally or sideways with the cooling trough in case of works on the cross head.
