End line packaging

Maximum productivity – also in end line packaging.Anyone wanting to maintain or even expand their position in the global marketplace must strive for higher productivity. But even the highest productivity isn’t much use if one of the production phases isn’t keeping up with the other stations in the value creation process. This is the overall view that Festo takes when developing customised solutions and services for end line packag­ing, so you can meet the challenges of the market in the best possible way.

Talk to us about your technology so we can provide you with the best solution each and every time, wherever in the world your or your customers’ production sites are located.

Our expertise

Labelling

The hallmarks of good solutions: safely removing trays, correctly positioning them and precisely erecting the cartons. Including high resistance to wear and sturdy and durable solutions for innumerable repetitions.

All the key features of modern cost-efficient labelling: solutions  with high speed and reliability and with easy format adjustments. This is what makes labelling processes reliable.

Servo motors EMMS/E-AS with motor controllers CMMPEnsuring constant speed when applying labels.

Motor unit MTR-DCI and electric axes DMES For quick and easy format change for different packaging sizes. Replacing complicated manual adjustment.

Erecting cartons

Vacuum generator VNDistributed vacuum generation for faster evacuation time – even with high volumes.

Electric axis DGEA Takes on the linear motion function at the erecting station.

Dynamic loading with high precision and fast format adjustment. For greater packaging throughput: the top speed of our sturdy solutions.

High-speed handling T-gantry EXCTCartesian handling unit with robotic functionality, for optimum use of the installation space. With over 90 picks/min it is highly dynamic but also precise – with the moving mass reduced dramatically by the stationary motors.

Control package CMCAA ready-to-install, application-specific control system which allows free 3D path control of highly dynamic kinematic systems.

Loading boxes

Shrink wrapping

High repeatability, precise results: dancer rollers transport the film so precisely that the packaging always fits perfectly – thanks to sensitive force adjustment.

Proportional valves VPPMFor tension control. VPPM keeps the film under  the right tension at all times.

Motor controllers CMMPPath interpolations, electric curve control or master-slave synchronisation. Optional: performance level e (PL e) and safe motion function.

Analogue modules CPX-4AE-TFor up to four temperature sensors in the modular electrical terminal CPX. Temperature range from −200 °C to 850 °C. So you can always keep the temperature in the shrink tunnel under control.

The task requires powerful, effective loading processes with high speed and dynamic acceleration as well as precise control for minimal vibrations. Festo’s solution is exactly that – and is reliable too. An added bonus is the wide variety of grippers for any number of different applications and objects.

System components and moreA matching package from a single source. Electric toothed belt and spindle axes EGC, spindle axes EGC­HD with heavy­duty guide, electric axis DGEA, controller CPX­CEC­M1, motor controller CMMP. And a suitable control cabinet. On request: our commissioning service, to get things working faster.

The loaded pallet must be positioned securely and firmly; the film transport must be exactly in sync. This requires long strokes with high rigidity and sensitive film control.

Standard cylinders DSBCGentle yet firm and secure positioning of the pallet. With self­adjusting end­position cushioning PPS. Simple to install, no re­adjustment required, optimum cushioning.

Electric toothed belt and spindle axes EGC, servo motors, motor controllers To move the film vertically and to wrap the pallet securely and carefully.

Palletising

Wrapping pallets

Tailor­made services – along the entire value chain, from design engineering to commissioning and system operation. Festo service will support you, wherever we can utilise our expertise for your benefit.  Here are some examples:

Provided consistently: comprehensive support

Handling systems with suitable control cabinetWith ready­to­install handling systems you can practically eliminate the complex processes associated with developing and constructing such systems. We design, procure, compile, test and deliver. Including tailor­made control cabinets.

Mounting platesIndividually designed and built for your application, taking into consideration the needs of your specific industry. Ready to install, with tubing and wiring included. Defined interfaces simplify installation directly in the system.

Commissioning service for axis systemsMake use of the full power of your system! Let our service technicians commission your axis system – quickly, reliably and optimally. So you can make use of the full capacity of your axis system.

Energy Saving Services The holistic concept for optimising compressed air systems. Ensures energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly system operation – and cuts operating costs by up to 60%.
