SIKORA Unveils Three New Product Innovations for the Wire and Cable Industry

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - SIKORA, part of MAAG Group and Dover (NYSE: DOV), today announced three new solutions designed to improve quality control, increase production efficiency and reduce material usage in cable and wire manufacturing. These innovations include a new addition to the LASER PRO diameter measurement series, the X-RAY 6000 measurement system and the LM PRO length measuring system.

"SIKORA's slogan, 'Technology to Perfection,' underscores our commitment to delivering precise measurement and inspection solutions tailored to support our customers' production requirements," said Dr. Christian Frank, General Manager of SIKORA. "Our latest innovations will help cable manufacturers improve product quality, reduce material consumption and maintain stable, efficient production processes."

SIKORA's new solutions include:

• LASER PRO Diameter Measuring Device: The newest model in the LASER PRO series measures cable diameters up to 110 mm. The system is designed for larger cable applications such as high-voltage lines and sheath systems, complementing existing LASER PRO models that measure product diameters from 0.1 to 51 mm.
• X-RAY 6000 PRO and the new X-RAY 6000 PURE, first shown at this fair: Flexible X-ray measurement systems for insulating and sheathing lines that continuously monitor wall thickness, eccentricity and diameter to support optimized production and reduced material consumption.
• LM PRO Length Measuring System: A new contact-free system that measures cable length and speed with ±0.05% accuracy. The system helps eliminate slip and mechanical wear while providing direction and standstill detection. It also delivers reliable measurement starting from 0 m/min, supporting a permanently accurate, low-maintenance measurement process without the need for recalibration after commissioning.

SIKORA will showcase these innovations at wire 2026, the world's leading trade fair for the wire and cable industry, taking place from April 13-17 in Düsseldorf, Germany, with over 1,500 exhibitors from 60 countries.
