SIKO format adjustment - Your way to Industry 4.0

Flexible production processes in the blink of an eye or at the push of a buttonThe demands on the flexibility of modern production systems continue to increase. With a large variety of products and ever smaller batch sizes, the focus is above all on optimum plant availability. Short set-up times are therefore a standard requirement for production and packaging machines.

Whether inexpensive with a handwheel, process-safe with a bus-compatible position indicator or fully automatic with an actuator - the reliability of the positioning systems used is crucial for flexible production processes. As the inventor of the mechanical digital position indicator, the so-called SIKO counter, we are today the world market leader in the field of digital position indicators. Through close partnership with a customer base of leading international machine manufacturers, we have been setting standards for decades with innovative solutions for efficient format adjustment during product changeovers.

A complete retrofit system solution from a single source - simple and intuitive

We offer retrofit options for your systems and machines in the form of electronic position indicators and fully automated positioning drives. Commissioning is simple viaplug-and-play; no source code programming is required. With our self-sufficient control system for bus-capable SIKO position indicators and actuators, recipe management, control as well as monitoring is carried out. The intuitive user interface makes operation and the storage of setting values child's play.

Classic, time-consuming format adjustment by hand

Changing over a machine by hand is very time-consuming and carries the risk of incorrect settings and the danger of a machine jam or the production of low-quality goods or rejects. Classic mechanical digital position indicators are the most cost-effective solution for format adjustment, but are not always the first choice for demanding and quality-oriented productions, such as those in the pharmaceutical industry. Digital logging of the setting values via purely mechanical position indicators is also not possible on the equipment side.
