Actuators bring automatic size changeover and more to line of cartoners

摘要

The ConCENTRiX~® Horizontal End Load Cartoner from ADCO Manufacturing is notable for, among other things, the extent to which changeover from one carton size to another is automated. Playing a key role in this automation picture are the high-performance compact AG05 actuators for automated positioning, which are made by Siko. Depending on the specific cartoner model, there might be as many as 11 or 12 of these actuators involved. Each has its own brushless DC motor, gear box, and controller.
