Sikora’s display and control units of
the Ecocontrol series enable precise
regulation of production lines, resulting
in a high repeatability and stability of
processes. The units can be combined
with all Sikora measuring systems and
offer relevant data for the regulation of
processes quickly and clearly.
In order to facilitate production work for
machine operators, Sikora has enhanced
the Ecocontrol 600 and Ecocontrol 1000
devices with some practical features.
Both devices were equipped with
intuitive control elements at the front
and a USB port for the optional storage
of production data on an external storage
medium.
In addition, the operating system of
the Ecocontrol devices was updated to
Windows® Embedded, enabling a modern
and structured display of measuring as
well as trend and statistical data. On an
8" or 15" TFT display, the Ecocontrol 600
and Ecocontrol 1000 offer the operator
time and length related values, graphical
visualisation, comprehensive statistics
at minimal, maximal and nominal
values, and information on the standard
deviation as well as Cp and Cpk values.
All these functions and features can also
be found on the 22" TFT colour monitor of
the Ecocontrol 6000.

Economics play the big role. Is your line equipped with
technology and electrical components which are not
‘state-of’the-art’ or are even outdated? With a relatively small
investment it may be possible to upgrade your equipment to
meet today’s demands.
The right retrofit application often imparts the same benefits as
new equipment.
Rosendahl’s automated control system technology expertise
and especially its process knowledge is the key to your retrofit
success. The company claims that you will measure your return
on investment within months.
Most importantly, more than thousands of installed systems
and Rosendahl’s long-term customer care give the company an
in depth perspective which makes Rosendahl a cost-effective
partner in the cable industry.
Rosendahl offers a wide range of customised upgrades, from
single components to line control systems and entire electrical
cabinets including latest PLC and AC-drive technology.
Rosendahl makes sure you are getting the most out of your
equipment for many years to come.
Retrofit benefits include:
• Increased equipment reliability and future-proof investment
• ‘State-of-the-art’ line control system
• Reduced maintenance costs and increased spare part
availability
• Minimum downtime required for complete retrofit
• Uniform line control system for all lines
Perfomance upgrades often go in hand with retrofitting your
existing production line. Increase the machine performance
for higher output through electrical, mechanical or
process upgrades. Upgrade the existing line control unit to
state-of-the-art technology.
Performance upgrades offer:
• Increased overall equipment effectiveness
• Higher production flexibility
• Optimised production process
• Short return on investment (ROI)
• Expanded capabilities due to greater line control
functionality and usability
