Drive Concepts of Packaging Machines

Modern machine concepts in the packaging industry arecharacterized by the need for high dynamism, flexibility, modularityand efficiency. Packaging machines were traditionally equippedwith a mechanical vertical shaft, which drove the secondarymotions in the machine, usually with mechanical components withcomplicated motion functions. Designing such a machine, flexiblefor different products is a highly complex task. Even minor changesin the packaging process, particularly in case of a product change,require major modifications and standstill time.Packaging machines with electronic vertical shafts permit fullflexibility. Electronic servo drive systems replace cam and couplinggears and a virtual electronic vertical shaft ensures that the motionaxes are synchronous. Any pulse and angle synchronousmovements are determined by a central control.

Unplanned machine states, such as stop or emergency offsituations or initialization movements can be realizedsynchronously. Dynamic changes of the goods to be packed or thepackaging material in the plant, (like slippage of the products to bepacked or expansion of the packaging material) can be registeredby sensors while the machine is running and eliminated bymodifying the corresponding drive movements. This developmentsubstantially changes and highly simplifies the classical mechanicalmachine concept. The structure of the packaging machine can bebroken down into modules that are easy to apply and can bestandardized
