The most important aspect is probably the human factor, as we have a well-developed, pronounced “analog eye”. For example with his trained vision, an offset printer can see from a distance whether a setting is correct or if it deviates from the standard. SIKO handwheels with position indicators are already standard in a wide range of different industrial environments. With their precise, highly reliable function they are used on printing machines for regulating the contact pressure of rotary cylinders or in chemical or food cylinders – as here for example in a brewery – for controlling mixing ratios. With their tangible ergonomics they also prove their robustness in tough production and trade environments. The solid functional design upgrades a number of standard applications, especially the equipment used in the metal, plastic and wood processing industries. In the chemical industry they are used for direct flow control. 5 [1] Fine height adjustment of the saw blade of a circular saw.
