Format adjustment

Packaging sizes vary according to customer orders. For this reason, machine shafts often require mechanical alignments.

The Baumer spindle position displays are the convenient solution to reduce time for machinery adaptation and ensure process reliability during format alignments.

Efficient spindle positioning on packaging machines...

...becomes necessary as soon as the products to be packaged also change in their dimensions. Packaging machines must be fast and flexible to efficiently package the high product variety and small batch sizes on the same machine. At the same time, process reliability is required in all industries, which is also supported by the spindle position display.

Baumer offers spindle position displays for packaging and labeling machinery in:

Primary packaging
Secondary packaging
End of Line Packing

Using a built-in high-resolution optical multiturn absolute encoder, the spindle position indicator achieves the required accuracies of spindle positioning in packaging machines. Even in the absence of power, the spindle position indicator detects an adjustment. This prevents unplanned stops of the machine after restarting.

Format adjustment

Efficient spindle positioning of machine axes

Spindle positioning on machines becomes necessary when there are changes in the manufactured products or dimensions. This is widely used in mechanical engineering to enable fast and flexible production of a wide variety of products and small batch sizes. Thanks to the higher-level PLC and the visualization of the spindle position directly on each axis, recipes can be implemented quickly, flexibly and reliably.

Benefits

The benefits of electronic position displays in multiple manual format adjustment operations per day:

Reliable and reproducible axis positioning through PLC connection
Increased system availability thanks to optimized set-up times
Spindle backlash compensation due to intuitive user guidance

No reference run necessary due to an absolute measuring system
Target and actual value indication in the display directly at the adjustment point
