Automatic format adjustment for new and existing production lines
Faster product changeovers. Less manual intervention. Fewer setup errors.
The challenge:
At a customer‘s existing production line, frequent product changeovers required operators to manually adjust the positioning axes several times a day. Although the product-specific target positions were already stored in the HMI, the adjustments still had to be made manually, requiring considerable time and effort.
This needed to change: The customer was looking for a cost-effective, easy-to-retrofit solution that would automate format changeovers while requiring minimal modifications to the existing equipment.

Our solution:
The existing production line was upgraded with automatic format adjustment at a manageable cost and with minimal effort. The positioning axes now automatically move to the stored target positions.
This makes format changeovers significantly easier for operators and ensures repeatable settings.
