Drive Upgrade for Packaging Machine

In the past, motion control tasks run in packaging machinery were carried out using mechanical components and a variety of electronic components such as output cam controllers, line shafts, clutches, mechanical gearings. These mechanical components may become worn out and fatigue which result in increasing machine down time and reduced production rate. In addition, the demanding markets require a fast product design cycles and format changes, which are out of the limit for such mechanical based motion control system.

Retrofitting your packaging machine can become a worth solution. Older packaging machine can be made more reliable and economical by retrofitting major subassemblies while retaining the bulk of the machine. Reference: Tubular Bagging Machine Retrofit

At this particular point, retrofitting your packaging machine can become a worth solution. Often an older packaging machine can be made more reliable and/or economical by retrofitting major subassemblies while retaining the bulk of the machine.

CNC Design has completed some retrofitting projects on packaging machinery including tubular bagging, wrapping, plastic bag making. CNC Design retrofit solutions are based on Siemens motion control system consisting of MASTERDRIVE MC (Motion Control) with technological function, synchronous servomotors, SIMATIC PLC, SIMATIC HMI, and other relevant products from Siemens i.e heater control system.

The existing mechanical based motion control tasks are replaced with modular software which is part of technological functions available within MASTERDRIVE MC:

• Electronic Gearing
• Electronic Cam Control
• Angular Synchronism
• Engaging and Disengaging Mechanism
• Registration Control
• Simple and Advanced Positioning
• Winder
