包裝和裝運(yùn)設(shè)備開發(fā)者研制了一種小體積高性能的設(shè)備贏得羅克韋爾自動化終極機(jī)械競賽獎。 Stork Townsend也獲得歐洲競賽的內(nèi)地獎項。 施耐德在食品、餐飲、造紙、塑料、工業(yè)、復(fù)制和個人護(hù)理行業(yè)提供包裝，制造行業(yè)為制造者提供終端包裝、裝運(yùn)設(shè)備的生產(chǎn)商是羅克韋爾自動化Extreme Machines contest的最終優(yōu)勝者。羅克韋爾自動化在創(chuàng)新的基礎(chǔ)上在競爭者中選擇國內(nèi)的聯(lián)營者，開發(fā)下一代機(jī)器。 施耐德包裝運(yùn)用羅克韋爾自動化控制系統(tǒng)解決方案為一個性能優(yōu)良的咖啡焙烤器創(chuàng)建了一個為體積非常緊湊的終端機(jī)器人處理系統(tǒng)。機(jī)器的紙箱、標(biāo)簽、箱體包裝，和每分鐘裝運(yùn)280獨立的釀造好的咖啡，所有工序僅在300平方英尺的工廠就能完成。 將強(qiáng)大的性能濃縮在小體積中，施耐德包裝依賴于Allen-Bradley Ultra 3000伺服驅(qū)動器和MPL電機(jī)來操作并行的調(diào)時螺釘，這些螺釘?shù)臄?shù)目取決于每箱合適的杯數(shù)。另一個Ultra-3000驅(qū)動器用于操作一個旋轉(zhuǎn)的紙板包裝機(jī)，在一系列汽缸搖動紙箱時，將K杯放置在合適的盒子中。由機(jī)器人將紙盒密封、打上日期并安置，這一裝配過程在他們被裝載到托盤之前完成。裝盒、訂標(biāo)簽、裝箱和裝運(yùn)則都由Allen-Bradley ControlLogix可編程自動控制器操作。 在歐洲，機(jī)器擁有很大的市場前景，以及更多的選擇。Stork Townsend B.V.基于33X6X20英尺香腸制造者創(chuàng)新的基礎(chǔ)上被選中。羅克韋爾指定的技術(shù)包括：60 Allen-Bradley PowerFlex變速驅(qū)動器，18 Kinetix 6000多軸伺服驅(qū)動器，CompactLogix PAC和一個ControlLogix PAC，每小時可處理4,840磅肉制品。不論機(jī)器大小從程序開始到結(jié)束只用一個操作者就可以完成。 更多信息請登錄 http://www.rockwellautomation.com/solutions/oem/index.html. original text [COLOR=#708090]Packaging and Palletizing Equipment Developer Packs Big Performance into a Small Space to Win the Rockwell Automation Extreme Machines Contest Stork Townsend also takes home honors by winning the European contest Schneider Packaging, a producer of end-of-line case packing and palletizing equipment for manufacturers in the food, beverage, paper, plastics, industrial, replication and personal care industries, was recently named the winner of the 2006 Rockwell Automation Extreme Machines contest. The company was chosen from a national pool of contestants based on the innovation it demonstrated in developing its next generation of machines. Schneider packaging used Rockwell Automation control system solutions to create an extremely compact, end-of line robotic handling system for a premium coffee roaster. The machine cartons, labels, case packs and palletizes 280 individual K-cups of ready-to-brew coffee each minute, all within a mere 300 square feet of valuable factory real estate. To deliver big performance in a small space, Schneider Packaging relied on Allen-Bradley Ultra 3000 servo drives and MPL motors to operate the two side-by-side timing screws that count the appropriate numbers of cups for each carton. Another Ultra-3000 drive operates a rotary cartoner, while a series of air cylinders agitate the carton to allow the K-cups to settle properly in the box. The cartons are sealed, dated and arranged for the casing robot, which assembles and presents the cases to a labeler before loading them onto a pallet. The cartoning, labeling, casing and palletizing processes are seamlessly managed by an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Programmable Automation Controller （PAC）. Across the Atlantic, a machine with big scale and even bigger integration was selected as European winner of the Extreme Machines competition. Stork Townsend B.V. was selected based on innovation within its massive 33-foot by 6-foot by 20-foot sausage maker. The company standardized on Rockwell Automation technology, including 60 Allen-Bradley PowerFlex variable speed drives, 18 Kinetix 6000 multi-axis servo drives, a CompactLogix PAC, and a ControlLogix PAC, to process 4,840 pounds of meat each hour. Despite the machine’s size, it is managed from start to finish by a single operator.
