The automatic tool change enables sizes to be changed at the press of a button. While doing so, tools are packed in tool cabinets automatically and neatly.
Gerhard Schubert is again boosting the capacity of its extremely flexible TLM transmodule packaging technology. The latest TLM generation will premiere at interpack 2014. According to Schubert, a prototype of the world’s first packaging machine without a switch cabinet for the processing of infusion bags will be among the innovations presented. The company claims to already achieve higher efficiency in manufacturing and configuring the lines in the current stage of development, and customers benefit from lower maintenance expenditures.
The new 3D scanners from Schubert realise spatial perception. The resulting height profile reflects the three-dimensional shape of the product to be packaged. This technology exceeds quality assurance requirements with attractive control parameters such as volume, weight and stack height.
Both the housing and the inner workings of the transmodules have been updated. The transport carriage has been shortened and equipped with an LED display for the operating status. The maximum acceleration and speed have been significantly increased. The transport robot assumes diverse jobs such as transporting products and boxes in TLM picker lines.
Schubert will also exhibit a packaging line that utilises automatic tool change to produce shelf-ready cartons of aerosol cans. The line comprises just four sub-machines. It processes aerosol cans of four different sizes and makes shelf-ready cartons in four different dimensions (cardboard tray plus lid). The output is 320 products per minute.
Members of the new Schubert Pharma expert team will be available for pharmaceutical customers to consult.
