ECOCONTROL

Powerful processor systems with outstanding performance

Premium processor systems with 22", 15“ or 8.4“ TFT color monitor and touch-screen operation

Three ECOCONTROL models belong to the premium segment of display and control devices by SIKORA. They attract special interest, due to its intelligent software technology, simplicity and ease of use for the operator.

ECOCONTROL 2000/6000
ECOCONTROL 2000/6000 is an extremely powerful processor system, which clearly brings the measuring values of the connected diameter and eccentricity devices into focus. In total, up to 8 measuring and test devices can be connected to the ECOCONTROL 2000/6000. The measuring values are displayed numerically as well as graphically on a 15“ (ECOCONTROL 2000) or 22" (ECOCONTROL 6000) TFT monitor. A clear line presentation with pictograms of the connected devices provides additional information. Moreover, it contains a length-related trend diagram for the measured dimensions and a display of the statistical distribution curve of the measurements with the minimum, maximum and mean value, standard deviation, Cp and Cpk. Interesting is the sophisticated visualization of the FFT-Analysis and Structural Return Loss Prediction. The operation is menu-driven via touch-screen, designed for an intuitive use.

Automatic diameter/ wall thickness control: SET POINT
A special feature of all ECOCONTROL models is the control unit SET POINT. It ensures a continuous, automatic control of the diameter or wall thickness to the nominal value by controlling either the line speed or the extruder rpm.

Hot/Cold control: HC 2000
With the HC 2000 the material shrinkage is continuously calculated and considered automatically for the control of the diameter and/or wall thickness.

CD control
Taking into consideration, that diameter and capacitance influence each other, the SIKORA CD control compensates the necessary correction in the control process by an advanced calculation of the expected changes of the respective measuring parameters.

FFT-Analysis/Structural Return Loss (SRL)

Optionally, the ECOCONTROL 2000/6000 visualizes the FFT and Structural Return Loss (SRL) data, that are specifically tailored to the requirements of the production of data and RF-cables. This software package has been developed with the support of competent partners of the industry.

VIRTUAL 2000
The virtual gauge technology is suitable for all applications where the line configuration or the product structure does not allow for measurement directly after the extruder. VIRTUAL 2000 eliminates the delay time which results from controlling the extruder with measurement values from the end of the line. Already at the start-up of the line, the intelligent software concept calculates the expected cold wall thickness from given product and line parameters.

ECOCONTROL 1000
ECOCONTROL 1000 offers two serial interfaces for the connection of measuring devices such as SIKORA’s LASER Series 2000 or 6000, CENTERVIEW 8000 or CAPACITANCE 2000 models. Additionally, two test devices of the LUMP 2000 and SPARK 2000 series can be connected. The measured values are displayed on a 15“-TFT touch-screen monitor. The ECOCONTROL 1000 also includes a time or lengthreleated (optional) trend diagram of all values, combined with a graph of the distribution of the single values (statistical distribution curve) and comprehensive statistics with the minimum, maximum and mean value, standard deviation, Cp and Cpk values. The operation is intuitive, menu-driven via touch screen.

ECOCONTROL 600
ECOCONTROL 600 offers one serial interface for the connection of a SIKORA measuring device. Additionally, via two digital contacts events from a LUMP 2000 for the detection of lumps and neckdowns or SPARK 2000/6000 for the detection of break downs can be read.

The measuring values are displayed numerically and graphically on a clear 8.4”-TFT-monitor. Also there is a graphical time- or length-related (optional) trend diagram for all values combined with a graph of the distribution of the single values (statistical distribution curve) and statistics with the minimum, maximum value, the mean, standard deviation, Cp and Cpk values. The operation is menu-driven via touch screen.
