From 1994 to 2000 no new models were created, unlike the electronics which in 1997, with the Motorola 68040 Microprocessor, the 4th generation is born. With this generous microprocessor the foundation was created for many algorithms which are still used today.
The year 2000, on the other hand, was the year of great changes: RISC Processors and Digital cameras

2002 - The year of the LED
Finally LED!
The advantage of the LEDs is that they emit cold light which is completely free of infrared. Thanks to this characteristic it is possible to read all of those defects which are not very dynamic much easier, such as earth, stains, bellies and wood.
Not long after this the BLUE light LEDs came out which would help enhance those defects with a red base colour even better.
2006 - PHOCAL 530 TC
The PHOCAL 530 TC, a machine for selection of NATURALI and 1+1 stoppers, is born with all of SISTEL's most innovative developments and a brand new and exclusive feeding system.
Over the years this machine would pay for itself by leading us with dignity through an unprecedented period of economic slump.
