PC-based Control Optimizes Packaging Machines

HMI Packaging Machine

With PC-based control and EtherCAT (PC6960, IDD, HPS and Control Panel series), “PanelMate” offers a control solution for highly efficient, flexible, and resource-conserving packaging machines. Predestined for applications where high speed and precision are of utmost importance, the PC platform with its high-performance field devices is perfect for synchronizing all process and motion control workflows.

The bottom line: work steps are accelerated, and the consumption of packaging materials declines. For example, the fast and precise recognition of print marks means that you can seal blister packs closer to the product they contain.
