Drive Concepts of Packaging Machines

Modern machine concepts in the packaging industry are

characterized by the need for high dynamism, flexibility, modularity

and efficiency. Packaging machines were traditionally equipped

with a mechanical vertical shaft, which drove the secondary

motions in the machine, usually with mechanical components with

complicated motion functions. Designing such a machine, flexible

for different products is a highly complex task.  Even minor changes

in the packaging process, particularly in case of a product change,

require major modifications and standstill time.

Packaging machines with electronic vertical shafts permit full

flexibility. Electronic servo drive systems replace cam and coupling

gears and a virtual electronic vertical shaft ensures that the motion

axes are synchronous. Any pulse and angle synchronous

movements are determined by a central control.

Unplanned machine states, such as stop or emergency off

situations or initialization movements can be realized

synchronously. Dynamic changes of the goods to be packed or the

packaging material in the plant, (like slippage of the products to be

packed or expansion of the packaging material) can be registered

by sensors while the machine is running and eliminated by

modifying the corresponding drive movements. This development

substantially changes and highly simplifies the classical mechanical

machine concept. The structure of the packaging machine can be

broken down into modules that are easy to apply and can be

standardized.
