Intuitive operation and stable processes

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
