Manual, Propelled and Automated Format Adjustments for the Packaging Industry

Linear Guides With Manual Clamp

If simple and rarely performed adjustment tasks are to be implemented in packaging machines, linear rail systems with simple positioning by hand wheel are often suitable.

• For easy format adjustments
• Maintenance-free, no lubrication
• Individual clearance adjustment

With the linear guides configurator, you can assemble your individual linear system in just a few steps and calculate the service life at the same time.

Linear Actuators Driven by Hand Wheel

Demanding format adjustments are carried out with flexurally rigid linear actuators. A hand wheel allows manual adjustment and a position indicator allows fine adjustment of a desired control value.

• For precise positioning tasks
• Highly torsion-resistant and bend-resistant
• Different shaft and lead screw materials

With the linear actuator configurator, you can put together your desired linear system individually and select from a wide range of product solutions.

Linear Actuators With Motor and Control System

Recurring format adjustments are carried out efficiently using a stepper motor. And with the optional addition of a motor control system, several adjustment units can be positioned at the same time.

• For coordinated adjustments of multiple axes
• Electrically adjustable with position feedback
• Broad portfolio of linear systems and motors

With the linear actuator configurator, you can put together your desired linear system individually and select from a wide range of product solutions.

Automated format adjustments in film packers

This packaging machine consistently relies on automation for greater operational safety and a modular concept. The linear systems for positioning the hole punch, adjustment of the filling station and format adjustment of the labeler were supplemented by stepper motors.
