The cost of precision

摘要

Clutches can provide cost-effective precision in packaging and labelling applications, which don't necessarily need the latest in servomotor design, as the experts at Altra highlight The inevitable march of progress brings with it many innovations and solutions that save time and energy. However, adopting new technology at face value may not always be the most cost-effective solution. One good example is the introduction of servomotors and variable speed drives into assembly and packaging lines; while certain applications will benefit, others are better suited to a simpler approach.
