Modular solutions for robot-based packaging systems

The method used for products that cannot be stacked or stowed is secondary packaging on a toploader case packer. The prepared cartons and trays are automatically erected and glued. A loading device places the products from above into the carton, which is then closed and transported away.

SEW-EURODRIVE makes my life a lot easier – especially with its prefabricated modules, that I simply have to connect up. This saves a lot of time.

Quote by Roland Kaluza, head of design at Dienst Verpackungstechnik

With SEW-EURODRIVE, we have created a basis that combines individuality with standardization and has reached a new level in our industry. This means I can simply rely on it always going one step further.

For this type of packaging machine, our MOVI-C^® modular automation system offers the perfect interplay between control and drive engineering. This includes ready-to-use and parameterizable functions for all conceivable robot kinematics. This enables a complete robot control solution and ensures easy development of automation solutions even for complex packaging.

Parameterizing machine functions with MOVIKIT^®

Pulling, gluing, forming, filling and closing – the modular design of a toploader case packer can be described and implemented in a short time using the matching MOVIKIT^® MultiMotion software modules from the MOVI-C^® modular automation system, thanks to simple parameterization. Functions such as the electronic cam for synchronized axis movements and for position-dependent valve control in real time are available for this purpose.
