Automated format adjustment - also for retrofitting
Major cost savings can also be achieved by retrofitting automated format adjustment in existing production plants. The modular gearbox system makes it easy and to integrate lane adjustments, curve adjustments and lateral guides of conveyor systems into existing systems whilst saving space. Most of the simple assembly can be carried out during ongoing production, so that downtime is minimised.
When are linear rails suitable for format changeovers?
If simple and infrequently performed adjustment tasks are to be carried out in the packaging machine, linear systems with actuators are often too expensive. If, for example, only a few standardised packaging sizes are used in a system, a simple linear rail system with manual clamp often offers the best price-performance ratio. In addition, manual systems are particularly failure-free and can be integrated into existing systems quickly.
When are manual positioning systems suitable for format changeovers?
More demanding format adjustments are carried out with torsion-resistant linear axes. On the one hand, these can withstand higher forces and, thanks to the hand wheel and position indicator, enable precise fine adjustment of a desired positioning value. They are also quickly configured and implemented in the system. As operating manual positioning systems without an actuator can still be time-consuming, this system is only worthwhile if format adjustments are rarely required in the machine.
When are linear axes with actuators suitable for automatic format changeovers?
If format adjustments are regularly recurring and necessary at many points in the packaging machine, positioning systems with actuator connection are indispensable. The time savings can quickly amortise the higher costs compared to manual systems. With the optional addition of a motorised control system, several adjustment units can be positioned synchronously. This also helps to avoid errors.
