Choose the extremely innovative and powerful ECOCONTROL 6000, the unique ECOCONTROL 1000 or the smart ECOCONTROL 600. Each of these display and control systems exceed all expectations in their class.
The innovative display of the line with pictograms of the connected devices provides a unique overview, while the numeric and graphic display of the measuring values, trend diagrams and statistics fulfill every demand regarding the process visualization.
The 22”, 15” and 8.4” TFT monitors and the intuitive touchscreen control of the ECOCONTROL 6000, 1000 and 600 processor systems represent an intelligent and cutting-edge technology.
Automatic diameter/wall thickness control
In combination with the control module SET POINT, the ECOCONTROL systems deliver quality assurance and cost reduction. They ensure 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 Module HC 2000 (ECOCONTROL 6000/1000)
With the Hot/Cold Module HC 2000, the material shrinkage is continuously calculated and considered automatically for the control of the diameter and/or wall thickness.
CD-Control for wire and cable production lines
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 other measuring parameters.
FFT analysis/Structural Return Loss (SRL)
Optionally, the ECOCONTROL 6000 visualizes periodical variations of the product parameter from an FFT analysis of the measuring values as well as the Structural Return Loss (SRL) data, that is specifically tailored to the requirements of the production of data and RF cables. This software package was developed with the support of competent partners of the industry and detects weak points of the production in time.
Data Storage
The data storage on a hard disk is a standard for the ECOCONTROL 6000. For the ECOCONTROL 1000, this feature is optionally available. For the ECOCONTROL 600, an external media storage (USB, LAN) is available upon request.
Reporting
Time, length or reel related production reports are available for each of the three ECOCONTROL devices (6000, 1000, and 600).
VIRTUAL 2000 – Intelligent software concept
The virtual gauge technology is suitable for all applications, which require a fast wall thickness control, but due to line configuration or product structure, a diameter or wall thickness measurement directly after the extruder is not possible.
The ECOCONTROL 6000 is an extremely powerful processor system, which clearly brings the measuring values of the connected diameter and concentricity devices into focus. In total, up to 8 measuring and testing devices can be connected to the ECOCONTROL 6000. The measuring values are displayed numerically as well as graphically on a 15″ or 22″ TFT monitor. A clear line presentation with pictograms of the connected devices provides additional information. Moreover, it contains a time and 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 USB interface, which is accessible from the front as well as the overlay keyboard visible at the push of a button.

The ECOCONTROL 1000 offers two serial interfaces for the connection of measuring devices such as SIKORA’s LASER Series 2000 or LASER Series 6000 models. Additionally, two test devices, for example of the LUMP 2000 series can be connected. The measured values are displayed on a 15″ TFT touchscreen monitor. The ECOCONTROL 1000 also includes a time or length related (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 a touchscreen.
