Ecocontrol 600 from Sikora is the smallest
of the company’s processor systems,
adapted to individual line conditions for
highest productivity within the wire and
cable production.
Ecocontrol 600 offers one serial interface
for the connection of a Sikora measuring
device such as Laser 2000, Centerview
8000, CV-Intube 6000 or LED 8025 XY.
Digital contacts also allow readings
from the lump and neckdown detection
system, Lump 2000 and spark tester,
Spark 2000.
There are graphical length-related trend
diagrams for all values combined with
a graph of the distribution of the single
values (statistical distribution curve) and
a statistic with the minimum, maximum
value, the mean, standard deviation,
Cp and Cpk values. The operation is
menu-driven via touch screen.
Sikora combines the Ecocontrol 600 with
a Laser 2000 for the measurement of
the hot or cold diameter in two or three
measuring planes, or the Centerview 8000
for an 8-point-eccentricity, 4-axis dia-
meter, and 8-point ovality measurement.
Where stringent quality control is
required, Ecocontrol 600 can be used
with the CV-Intube 6000, for diameter
measurement within CV-lines, or the LED
8025 XY for accurate measurement of the
eccentricity of transparent products.
Data can be transferred to a line PC via
an Ethernet-interface or a USB flash drive,
while a printer provides a hard copy of the
production quality. It can be configured in
several languages.

Ecocontrol 600: a lean processor systemwith strong performance ▲ ▲
Windak has announced that its new
generation high speed SW6 spooler
has successfully achieved 6 x 100m
spools per minute. The SW6 fully
automatic spooler has been designed
for a maximum output of 6 spools/
min (100m) with a guarantee of 5 per
min (100m) according to Urban Bollo,
managing director of Windak Sweden.
“To the best of our knowledge, the SW6
is the fastest 100 metre cable spooler in
the world,” stated Mr Bollo.
An obstacle to achieving 6 x 100m
spools per minute has been the
loading/unloading cycle time. Windak’s
new dual lift system allows for cycle
times of less than 10 seconds.
With short cycle times, and a stop time
of less than one second, the SW6 is
optimised for in-line production of
spools 165mm (6.5") OD x 90 – 200mm
(3.5"- 8") wide.
