CASE STUDY:
Packaging Industry
– Product Ejection –
SEE HOW WE CAN HELP ⇒
1
PROBLEM
Line speeds limited by slow pneumatic eject mechanisms
SOLUTION
Our electric actuators are much faster
2
PROBLEM
Difficult to eject individual products because of erratic response of pneumatics
SOLUTION
Electric actuators consistently respond in milliseconds
3
PROBLEM
Complex, multiple-actuator pneumatic solutions required for sorting products
SOLUTION
A single electric actuator can divert individual products into different lanes by varying force and velocity “on the fly”
4
PROBLEM
Top-heavy products tend to fall over when ejected
SOLUTION
Precision regulation of force and velocity give a controlled push and avoid toppling
5
PROBLEM
Products are damaged by impacts from pneumatic actuators
SOLUTION
Programmable force control allows gentle touch
