Positioning systems
Reliable format adjustment
SIKO is known worldwide for their mechanical and electronic position indicators for reliable format adjustment of production machines. The compact positioning drives enable automated conversion to different product formats with short cycle and changeover times. Plug-and-play retrofit systems make it possible to optimize older machines quickly.
Mechanical position indicators - clear display of the position value with high reproducibility
SIKO's displays and components for positioning (format adjustment) of spindles and axes. Mechanical position indicators, handwheels and adjusting knobs for the precise display of position values directly on the spindle as well as clamping plates for locking.
Electronic position indicators - precise setting control of spindles
SIKO's freely programmable absolute position indicators, also available with bus interface for setpoint specification or actual value transmission. Electronic position indicators from SIKO have been used for decades as a cost-effective solution for format adjustment on packaging machines or woodworking machines.
Positioning drives - spindle drives for automated positioning
SIKO's compact positioning drives for process-optimized, precise and automatic positioning of formats, stops, tools and valves. Positioning drives are used for fast and safe format changes, among other things on packaging machines or in woodworking.
Retrofit systems - cost and time savings
HMI (Human Machine Interface), touchscreen control system, decentralized IO module, electronic position indicators and compact actuators for process-optimized positioning of formats, stops, tools and valves. SIKO's retrofit systems are often used as a solution for increasing efficiency and optimizing processes in packaging technology and woodworking.
